A big bash to celebrate 18 years of business success was hosted by Plantation Bay Resort and Spa at its Orion beach. The hugely popular tourist destination in Mactan Island, Cebu arranged an appreciation night for its numerous clients and friends to mark the momentous occasion. Plantation Bay’s trail-blazing founder and CEO Manny Gonzalez thanked everyone who has been with the resort all these years — whether as a guest, friend from the media and the hospitality industry, supplier, or staff. Plantation Bay general manager Nenette Castillon and vice president for marketing Efren Belarmino entertained representatives from the Department of Tourism, airline companies, travel agencies, and other guests present at the cocktail party. The talented Plantation Bay resort staff also gave a taste of their show-stopping dance routines, part of their much-applauded Las Vegas Strip-style themed dinner shows held by the beach.
