A few months ago my friends and I were thinking of something to chill on for the coming month of October 2012, whereas I’m scheduled for my R&R which we normally does once every 3 months and for the pre and post birthday bash celebration of my two friends. This is the way we unwind ourselves from the stress we get from our work and to run away from the obnoxious people around us. We first search on the internet for some cool places to go like in Bohol, Cagayan de Oro, Caramoan in Cam. Sur only to mention a few but eventually we all agree to choose Cebu as our target destination for a 4 days tour. One of my friend came up with an idea to visit Plantation Bay Resort & SPA, while she shows us the photos and comments from their website http://plantationbay.com we were all fascinated by the enchanting scenes of the lagoons and pools, the SPA services and the mouth watering foods. We could not believe this place that looks like a real paradise exists in Cebu. We all get excited day by day until the date has finally come, 18th October 2012.
After we landed at the Mactan Airport at 8:00am, we went straight to the Plantation Bay Resort and SPA visitor lounge to assist us a shuttle to get in to the Plantation Bay. As we enter the gate you can actually feel the very accommodating ambiance of the fresh air and the gleaming smiles of the staff and service crews, they will make you feel you are at home with them, though we arrived early as not expected we were lucky enough they were able to check-in us to our served room before the check-in time. From their warmth welcoming Reception Area we ride on a customized traditional jipney to get to the Piazza Palermo where our room is located, but of course while we were heading to our room photo shoots were not forgotten to capture every moments.
Our room is just in front of a freshwater pool, the area is very homely that we could not wait to soak and play with the pool. The room is spacious enough to accommodate the four of us, plus the room has freebies of basket full of delicacies of Cebu. They also gave us a cheese cakes free as a compliment of Plantation Bay Resort & SPA to the birthday celebrants. We had our lunch at Kilimanjaro where the food price is fair enough for a very delicious Filipino menu.
We roam around to take photos on the beautiful areas of the Plantation Bay, we most enjoyed the scenery on the beach side where the sun is perfectly set enough to calm our tired bodies. Just as the sun hid away we capture the perfect time to swim and pamper ourselves on the distinct saltwater Jacuzzi pool that we almost did not wanted to take off our soaked bodies from it. We explore the wide trail of lagoons with the sound of a violin dynamically played with a soft music and of course we did not missed the SPA body massage and Sauna at Mogambo Springs, a truly relaxing sensation we feel only at Plantation Bay. Then we end up again in Kilimanjaro where we had our dinner. We all wish we could have the exact pleasure everyday.. only if we could possibly.
The following morning we get up early to feel the exuberant energy at Plantation Bay. We jogged all around the bay and ended up with our workout in the Gym. We spend the rest of the remaining hour for sight viewing, food trip and an unending picture taking. An amazing experience we will always treasure. Again, thank you Plantation Bay Resort and SPA for the wonderful experience. We are all looking forward to come and visit you again the soonest.
All the best and more success!
