I was very impressed with the lush tropical vegetation, the beautiful salt water lagoon that anchors the property. Love the attentive staff. There were a couple things not working properly in my room one of which was the AC unit but they took care to fix it right away.

I have traveled to the Philippines a few times. This was the worst food I ever ate. Absolutely horrible. The bar also had a 3 drink limit. If you like to eat and drink go to the Bahamas. This place is cheap and the food is awful an the pre mixed 3 drink max is stupid, We ordered food out and are looking to stay somewhere else till we leave

멋진 뷰. 매우 평화롭고, 편리한 시설을 이용할 수 있는 곳

세부는 처음 와봤고 숙소에서 쉬는걸 중점으로 하기위해 찾다가 플랜테이션베이가 가장 적합해서 고르게되었습니자. 노팁 정책인점이 가장 편리했고 그렇다고 직원들 서비스 퀄리티가 떨어지거나 하지 않았습니다. 항상 어딜가나 미소를 띄며 인사 해주시고 시설또한 훌륭했으며 괜히 5성급이 아니구나 싶었습니다. 이곳이 비록 약 20년이 되었던 숙소였지만 그 어떠한 호텔 또는 리조트에 꿀리거나 낙후된 모습이 보이거나 하지 않았고, 정말 관리를 많이 하는 곳이라는게 눈에 띄게 보였습니다. 수영장도 모두 넓고 쾌적하고 붐비지않게 이용할 수 있는 점이 정멀 큰 장점이 되네요. 세부에 다시 방문한다면 또 가고 싶은 곳 입니다. 플랜테이션 베이에 다시 한번 더 감사의 말씀 드리고 싶습니다.
