VALUE FOR MONEY. Plantation Bay is priced slightly higher than other resorts in the country because we provide very good value for money. Our rooms are 46 square meters in size - significantly larger and much more luxurious than any other hotel in Mactan. We also have 24-hour butlers for all our guests, providing a standard of service superior to any other hotel in the country.

OUTSTANDING CUISINE. We take pride in our kitchens at Plantation Bay, and can assure you of consistently delicious, carefully-presented dishes at every function, prepared by our award-winning chefs under the guidance of our well-known Food & Beverage Director, Mr. Enzo Ciliani. Our food is also very reasonably priced.

Theme parties of all kinds - Hawaiian, Philippine Fiesta, Ranch Roundup, Water Festival, Gypsy Night, 50s Revival, Roofdeck Extravaganza, Ballroom Dancing... Tell us your party ideas, and we'll make them a reality.

The Great Outdoors. Plantation Bay has extensive open areas suitable for all kinds of organized athletics, product launches, and open-air spectacles. Our good year-round weather makes every month a good month for outdoor events. One company built a giant stage in the middle of a lagoon to introduce a new car to 700 dealers. Another held a musical fashion-show on a beach. Yet another held its own regional Olympics for 250 people, using our spectacular grounds as a backdrop. The only limit is your imagination.

Team-Building, consciousness-raising, TQM - whatever your development needs, we can recommend excellent facilitators from Cebu, Manila, and Hong Kong at reasonable prices.

Bonfires on the Beach. Take your pick of three entirely separate beach areas. Marshmallows, hotdogs, beer, live music - whatever you wish.

Fireworks. Most hotels have cramped grounds or empty, uninteresting spaces, making them inappropriate for fireworks. At Plantation Bay your group can enjoy splendid fireworks displays in the clear skies of Mactan, with 3 1/2 hectares of sand and lagoons as your backdrop.

Cruises aboard our own private yatch. Foxtrot, our twin-deck 60-foot catamaran, can carry up to 40 passengers, plus food and drinks, and still sprint at over 30 knots. Spectacular sand-bars, little islands, coral reefs, and dive-spots within a 15-45 minute ride. Sunset and moonlight cruises, too.

Scuba-diving for groups. What an original idea for a group outing. Certification lessons, practice dives in the safety of our lagoon, then the real thing just offshore in our house reefs and 300-meter deep underwater wall.

Live music to order. Choose from serenaders, jazz bands, rock groups, torch singers, and even classical orchestras. Plantation Bay can arrange all the details.

SUPERB AMBIENCE. Unlike run-of-the-mill highrise resorts, Plantation Bay is a distinctive low-rise property with stunning views and tranquil, wide open spaces which busy executives truly appreciate. It has the look of a private estate rather than a hotel. Even when fully-occupied, it never feels crowded or over-busy. Our corporate clients have commented that this atmosphere is conducive to bringing out the best in their executives whenever they visit Cebu. Our one-of-a-kind site is also certain to favorably impress your colleagues from around the world.

CONVENIENCE. Plantation Bay is 15 minutes drive from the airport and only 15-30 minutes from Cebu's principal commercial areas. Though rustic in decor, our rooms and business facilities are fully modern.

PRESTIGE. Where you stay says a lot about you. Sophisticated businessmen appreciate Plantation Bay's unobtrusive service, its simple elegance, and homey, unpretentious atmosphere. Some hotels scream. Plantation Bay whispers.

• Best Buy for the Money. Within this price range in Asia, Plantation Bay offers the largest, best-appointed, most appealing rooms - each and every one with a great view. And with 24-hour butlers for every room, we offer a standard of service that can only be equaled by hotels costing two or three times more. Furthermore, all prices within the resort are reasonable - no tourist-trap pricing. If you can spare that extra few dollars a day, we think you'll be well-satisfied with your choice.
• Easy to Get To. We're 15 minutes drive from a new international airport with direct flights to Hong Kong, Tokyo, Osaka, Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, and most major cities in the Philippines. Compare that with some resorts, which can take many hours of rigorous sea-and-overland travel to get to.
• No Forest Fires or Haze. Cebu is one of the very few tropical destinations in Asia which was totally unaffected by last year's Indonesian forest-fire tragedy (which, according to some reports, may well be repeated).
• Economically and Politically Stable. If you're planning a conference or holiday well in advance, this factor is worth thinking about.
