Dare to be different! This year, why not spend the holidays away from it all?
Discover the quiet charm of living on a colonial plantation for a change and let the holiday feasting and merriment continue at Plantation Bay Resort and Spa, a premier tourist destination in Cebu.
Situated on Mactan Island, the 11-hectare paradise on earth boasts salt-water lagoons, fresh-water swimming pools, an award-winning spa and the friendliest and most helpful staff around.
There are plenty of fun activities in and out of the water and it never feels crowded at the family-friendly resort, says Plantation Bay general manager Efren Belarmino.
An assortment of cuisines awaits the most discriminating palates and, at sundown, excitement reaches fever pitch with pulsating themed shows and buffets by the beach featuring a show-stopping performance of its talented resort staff.
