2nd day Philippine tour at Plantation Bay Resort and Spa/ Family Travelogue 18 November 2012

Plantation Bay Resort & Spa is located in Mactan, one hour from Cebu City.  The privately owned waterways is humongous, 11 hectars with so much offered activities: indoor and outdoor.

From Shangri-la Mactan, we drove for about half an hour to Plantation Bay.  There was no hassle on our check in, the colourful jeepney shuttle took us to our Lagoon Side Room.

We took a rest first before we made a quick tour of the resort.  We requested for two queen sized bed.  You could opt for a King size though.



We had the balcony and in a minute we could soak into the lagoon.


We enjoyed the hammock near our room


The man made lagoon is huge, we were not restricted to the area near our place.  We could dip anywhere.


Our mermaid daughter not getting tired of snorkeling.  It was getting late, the beach was not crowded.


Native bucket and ladle spoon to wash our feet before we went back inside our room.


Relaxing bath before dinner.


We had a room service.  As shown, our youngest' favourite, Prawn Tempura.  I could say the best tempura I had tried.




We also had the filipino dish, boneless milk fish.


Daddy had the quarter roasted chicken.  The food was superb.  They must have employed one of the best chefs.

That was the end of our 2nd night/in Cebu.  A big day the next as we explored the resort.

Shangri-la's Mactan Resort & Spa/ Philippines Cebu and Bohol 2nd day/ Family Travelogue 18 November 2012

We were only booked for a night at Shangri-la's, check out at 12nn.  We could stay though until the evening in the resort but our next destination was equally magnificent as this resort.  The sun was up earlier than 6am.  We had the whole morning to make the most.  The pool was inviting and the man made beach with artificial reef and aid in coral regeneration was truly amazing.

We had stayed by the pool before we had our breakfast






Buffet breakfast at Tides was included in the hotel rate we had paid.  Breakfast was sumptuous.  I love the many choices of breads and egg omelette.

 There's the culprit, no wonder she is chubby.


We had tried also the homemade ice cream.  Not cheap.

Our youngest did not want to leave the pool.


Apparently, she enjoyed the pool.  She got tanned.

Off Shangri-la's Resort to Plantation bay Resort.  We really had a wonderful time and one night stay was enough to enjoy what the resort was offering that time.  We were heading to Plantation Bay Resort for another one night stay before we transfer to Cebu City.  It is almost half an hour driving from Shangri-la to Plantation.  And almost an hour from Plantation bay to Cebu City.
