CEBU: PLANTATION BAY RESORT AND SPA

It’s my 3rd time to visit Cebu and I’ve never visited same place or attraction twice. It means, there’s a lot to discover and places to go to in Cebu.

Also, it’s the first time I did not fly from Manila but instead I drove a total of 4 hours and rode the 2-hour Roro ship to reach the island. Pretty convenient to bring your car with you to navigate the Queen City of the South at your own pace and time.



From Bacolod, we traverse the Don Salvador Benedicto path going to San Carlos Port which we will alight a ferry to reach Toledo, Cebu. From there, another 2 hour drive to be in Lapu-lapu. Might take a little less if not for traffic.




One thing I’ve noticed is that that traffic in the city of Cebu is somehow becoming like that of Manila; a little stressful and time-consuming. 



I was looking forward to our stay at the Plantation Bay Resort in Mactan for this trip. Thanks to my cousins, Alexis and MichelleJoy for the discount and treat. Also to Lj for making it easier for us to drive around the city. Also to their friend, Jun Rey for tagging along and making us feel at home and welcomed while we were there.


I was amazed how the resort was able to create an island within an island. You don’t have to go to the beach as they already brought it inside for your convenience. They even have villas that have direct access to the pool/lagoon. They also offer activities like biking the 11-hectare palm-lined resort, archery, wall climbing, game room with arcade and table games, diving area, pool slides, snorkeling/scuba diving, and a lot more!


All in all, the experience is one for the books.
Expenses:
P2600 - Lite Ferries Shipping Vehicle - P1300/car/way (Sedan type of cars) free ticket for the driver. You can get the promo of P1,100 if you’ll travel at the wee hours.
P3000 - gas for 4 days/3 nights Bacolod to Cebu to Bacolod
P200 - You may need to pay terminal fees for you and your car when you leave Toledo Port. No extra fees from San Carlos Port.




Our stay in Plantation Bay was sponsored by my cousins who are employees of the resort.
