From Plantation Bay

Im typing this blog at the gameroom of Plantation Bay. The damned computer was programmed for use of Japanese and Korean tourist so I still have to navigate between the keys.

We arrived in Cebu at 4:30 am .We were delayed by 30 minutes since we had to wait for some passengers who were late. As soon as we got our luggage, a representative from Plantation Bay was already waiting for us outside the Customs counter. The guy immediately took charge of our luggage and called the minivan that ferried us to Plantation Bay. Our vehicle took quite a route to the place passing through streets clogged by tricycles and people walking to the Simbang Gabi. 

The two small churches we passed by were crowded and there was even a traffic accident involving three vehicles which further aggravated the traffic to Plantation Bay.

We took our breakfast at 6 am and took photos of different parts of the resort. The main lagoon was being drained of water so the place didnt really look that nice in the morning.

I think the place will look better at night.

There are quite a number of activities for teens, kids as well as adults. There is biking, internet, a playroom that has billiard table, pingpong and PS2 game terminals. My two kids had fun learning how to play billiards with their Dad. There is even a 10 am mass on Sundays at the resort and swimming lessons for kids and teens.

I guess it would be nice to swim at night when the sunlight wont burn your skin. The sunlight is terrible this morning so I guess we would have to stay indoors till the sun is down.

The "No Tip: policy is really being followed. When my husband handed a tip to the bellboy that brought our luggage to our room, he refused and reminded us about the policy. Thats nice.

Also having a butler who is at your service for every request is quite a relief. We asked for four extra pillows and they obliged promptly.When we requested for an internet connection in our room, the butler came with the wire connection for our laptop. Thats very good service for me and everyone is this resort greets you with a smile.

However breakfast is P500++per person .My husband paid P2900 for 4 of us about S$100. Lunch is about P650++.

Tomorrow afternoon we will be off to explore the city and we shall be staying at Marriot. At least at Marriot, we will have options to eat at the nearby restaurants at Ayala Mall.
