How to Book a Room at the Plantation Bay Resort

Booking a room is quite easy. You can either book directly through the hotel via call or website or through friendly hotel booking sites like we do.

How to Get to the Resort

The resort is a bit out of the way if you are coming from the city. You can arrange round trip airport schedules, however, if you wish too.

If you’d like to rent a car or bringing your own vehicle, you can follow below route to take you:

Checking In

Checking in at the resort is easy. On the several times we have visited, there has been no problem so far. We just gave our reservation number or the name of the person who has reserved the room.

After check-in, a shuttle is waiting for us to take us to our assigned room. The resort is spacious like Crimson Resort. It’s like being in a village of some sort where the rooms are strategically spaced out in the entire property.

Room Rates at the Plantation Bay Resort and Spa

Room rates vary, depending on the room booked. Rates start at 9,000 Php to 52,000 Php. We have tried the Lagoon View Room and the Poolside Room before.

Both rooms are spacious, but I liked the Lagoon View Room best. Some of the rate inclusion are welcome drinks, in-room amenities, Wi-Fi and use f some facilities including fitness center, game room, archery range, and wall climbing facility.

Rooms

Accommodation at the resort is as relaxing and as comfy as you want. Complimentary amenities include one liter of mineral water (replenished daily), a basket of Philippine delicacies, coffee and tea-making facilities and broadband internet access.

Types of accommodations range from a Water’s Edge Room, Lagoon Side Room, Lagoon View Room, and Poolside Room.

Resort Amenities

To enjoy your stay, there are several on-site amenities that guests can enjoy, including those listed below:

Dining

The resort has several restaurants in the area where guests can take their pick as to where to dine. These are spread out across the plantation, offering different views and cuisine (a map is provided to you, so you don’t have to worry about getting lost).

Several themed dinner buffets are available including ‘Rockin’ USA’, ‘Sahara Nights’ and ‘Filipino Fiesta’.

Plantation Bay Resort has a wide variety of facilities that everyone can use and enjoy. This includes a Gym and Game Room (games include billiard tables, air hockey, foosball, table games, and computer games), and its amazing pools (freshwater pools and saltwater lagoon) and slides. Not to mention the serene spa facility.

Plantation Bay has several activities made available for all of its guests. Whether you love the outdoors or indoors, there is always everything for everyone.

Among its most noted activities are the Aqua Rides (including Banana Boat, motorboats, outrigger, inter-island cruises, jet skis, water-skiing, and parasailing), archery, wall-climbing, golf pitch-and-putt, tennis, beach volleyball and bikes that you can use to tour the entire plantation.
