  Went with the day pass. Buffet is not recommended. Comes free with the day pass tho. Kids loved the pool. There are a lot of pools here and there but people only use about 3 of them. If you go to the ones in the back you can probably use it by yourself. Some of the pools weren't well maintained. Get there early so you can get a good spot.

  Pros
  Nice relaxing hideaway, friendly staff, nice facility, good service. Staff speak fluent English better than those in Manila.
  Cons
  80% of the food serve are too salty, based on my asking other who live in this city, peoples in this city have a heavier taste on food, which is why the foods serve are a little salty, especially on buffet, for a la carte, you can ask the chef to reduce salt.
  Scuba diving lesson are good price

  Clean, spacious and fun. Too bad our room's air-conditioning unit leaked water, and one of the bathroom lights flickered. The amenities and activities are really good too. One complaint I have is that, during archery, when I was asked what my dominant hand was, (which is left, by the way) they didn't have bows for lefties. Sooo maybe just tell us that only right-handed bows are available and not give us options where the other choice is unavailable.

  I am currently laying in their comfy bed writing this review and sad that our trip is almost over! We stayed 6 amazing days here. The staff is amazing! Very friendly and helpful with anything you need.
  
  When booking with them directly they have specials. We paid extra for a private car shuttle to and from the airport on arrival and departure. Instead of waiting for their shuttle we figured this would be best for us as we are traveling with kiddos.
  
  The resort is beautiful 😍 worth every penny! If you plan to stay 6 days or longer I suggest booking on their website directly as they had a special for those Who stay longer.
  
  Tons of things to do with the kids here. We pretty much did everything they offer (free and paid). The spa is tranquil and relaxing. Massage was perfect! Ask for Sabrina or Beth.
  
  Food was great! Also on their website if you book you get the breakfast buffet for everyone staying in your room for 30 bucks a day which is a steal when comparing it to the menu. Catch is you must prepay for this. We plan to come back soon! We love this little slice of paradise 😍

  Best place i have ever stayed. The staff are incredibly kind and go above and beyond for you. Our room was perfect and amazing pools. Lots of amazing food choices, and the breakfast buffet has lots of choices for different diet styles (and amazing fresh fruit i have been craving since i left). We took one of the offered day trips and had a great time, defiantly recommend going on the snorkling day tripper. Was so sad to leave though will defiantly be returning!!

  The resort is great!!!
  However, we we're allowed to check in at 3pm, we've been at the resort since 8 am with them having full knowledge of our early arrival. Sometimes "early bird" is not beneficial though. :D
  Many foreigners "asian" arrived at 12 noon and were able to check in right away. We got 1 suite and later added one 2 bedrooms, availability might be the issue.
  
  Saw just a few Filipinos during our stay. We were told not to enter Kalimanjaro if wet so we didn't but saw some foreign guest have their lunch just after swimming. :(
  
  But we manage to enjoy the resort. Overall stay is fine.

It's a perfect place for family, the water sports, kids entertainment and more. I also like the room that we stayed, it's very spacious and homey..I would like to come here over and over, I really recommend this resort!

  This hotel is great for families, couples, friend trip. Different style rooms fit every need. Different pools, beach and activities mean you never bore. Different tours you can enjoy every day. The hotel is a bit on the expensive side, but they really make up for it with service, and their facilities. You do not need to leave the hotel if you don't want to, it is a great place to go and disconnect from our hectic world for a few days.

  The staff in this place is overwhelmingly friendly and would always go out of their way to see if they can assist you with anything. The pools are all child-friendly. Definitely a family place. The rooms are spacious, well maintained, clean, well ventilated. Parking is easy. Great beach view and you will be able to explore the resort within one afternoon. The place is peaceful and quiet, is not overcrowded, there are many pools and many restaurants.

  I LOVED it here. Relaxed luxury of call it, nobody cares if you walk around in your shorts and slippers yet you get the 5 star service of renowned hotel chains. Only draw back, we don't eat meat so for us the menu in the restaurants became old pretty quickly, otherwise all around fantastic.

  Wow! What a day at the plantation! Absolutely my favorite resort in the entire world. Don't bother coming here for a day or two... you need a minimum of 3 days here to really enjoy everything there is to offer here.
  
  First: head to the spa! Even if you aren't a huge fan of massage... go ask for the pool massage. A simple 15 minute massage in the jacuzzi. If you are a fan of massages... head in here for a few hours of blissful pampering. There is a reason this is listed as one of the top 10 spa's in all of Asia. Affordable prices for such a high scale place.
  
  Second: The food is simple and delicious. Offering an international cruise, yet there is something for everyone.
  
  Splurge a little bit (if you can call it that, the rooms are super affordable!) for a waters edge room. You won't regret the amazing view. As I type I am sitting on my rooms balcony with the water mere feet away from me and my own private entrance to the HUGE lagoon. The sound of live saxophone meandering over the water. A light breeze bristling through the trees... this is truly a little slice of heaven.
  
  Water sports, firing range, great food, an amazing spa, amazing and unique room types... what else could you ask for. Oh... service. The staff at plantation bay is second to none. Never have I felt so welcomed or well taken care of by any staff or employee anywhere on earth. I would live here... and I honestly may work very hard for the next few years to be able to afford a lifestyle where I could live here! Thank you Plantation Bay Resort!!
