An ultimate vacation hub

Getting away from the hustle and bustle of city life isn’t easy especially with the hectic flight schedules and rising travel rates. But what better way to breathe out of sporadic schedule than to take a break with the whole family to a place where everybody can enjoy, from mom and dad to the little ones. One place that could offer such family fun is the 21st Annual Reader’s Choice Award winning Plantation Bay Resort and Spa in Mactan, Cebu.

Families could spend their time enjoying the many activities available at the picturesque resort grounds. With a fully-equipped Gym and Game Room or the Savannah Park which is home to the goings on for those adventurous souls as it holds the resort’s wall climbing, archery and shooting range activities. After which, the whole family could grab a bite at the Savannah Grill and Lounge then enjoy an evening of Karaoke fun. Other delectable dining destinations available at the resort include the informal Italian eatery Palermo, the Kilimanjaro Kafe, and the Fiji Restaurant for more gastronomic delights. More activities such as snorkeling, scuba diving, jet skiing and the likes are also available at the scenic shoreline of the Galapagos Beach or just take a dip in breathtaking man-made Lagoons. Of course, after the hustle and bustle one would absolutely get pleasure from the Plantation Bay’s signature spa at the Mogambo Springs. A wide selection of services such as facial and body treatments and special massages are the ultimate treat for any vacationer. The relaxing hot and cold pools as well as the cascading waterfalls in the area create the ideal relaxation spot.

The Plantation Bay Resort and Spa is a truly magnificent vacation hub. It is the all in one ultimate family package where boredom is definitely not an option.

One warm bash

The nippy weather, homey ambiance and festive feast was the order of the night as the affable Donnie Ramirez recently welcomed family and friends to an annual gathering held at his beautifully-landscaped vacation home in Laguna. For the fifth year, the gracious Donnie once again treated guests and loved ones to an unforgettable reunion teeming with great food and good company. Seen having a great time were governor Baby Ortiz, Syrian consul Issam Eldebs, Thai Airway’s Nivat Chantarachoti and Japan Airlines’ Toshiro Morita, Muebles Italiano president and chief executive officer Noel Gonzales, Mandarin Oriental’s Charisse Chuidian and cruise ambassador Danney League, among others.
