Arrival at the airport, the driver was waiting for us without any arrangements with the hotel. Took about 30 min from airport. Check in Smooth we didn't wait long at all, took a tour on the shuttle around the hotel and by then our room was ready. Stayed in the under tree room, it was large and clean. The view... More

“Not what i expected”

Its my second time in this hotel. The first when it was during soft opening and now during a conference. Lets start with the good stuff. At least there are now grown trees thus it is a bit cooler. Second is the noodle - "sotanghon" . Its the best i have ever had so i had several servings and it... More

Dear ann5721, Thank you for rating our sotanghon dish as the best you’ve ever had. Though we wish you had spoken up while still at the spa so we could have offered a replacement treatment, if you will be kind enough to write us (you didn't leave your email when you checked in, but we have identified you) we would...

“An Unforgettable Wedding Experience”

Reviewed May 3, 2013

We were guests at the wedding of our friends' daughter. Our spirits were lifted as soon as we entered the place. Venue for the wedding ceremony was at the beach. The ambiance was elegant and classy but relaxed and friendly. We have so-so expectations as far as hotel foods go, but the reception cocktails and subsequent banquet was exceptionally tasty... More

“Paradise at a price”

Reviewed April 30, 2013

I would have been scared to wander outside the hotel. The streets outsdie are poor and I imagine dangerous. Once inside the place was like paradise. Private beeches and pools everywhere. Food and drink expensive and the hotel full of Korean guests which means the food is not all to European tastes Family friendly,

Dear Intcopiers, Thank you for your glowing words about the quality of Plantation Bay and in particular our water-related scenery and activities. We would take exception, however, to your remark that the areas surrounding us are "poor, and might be dangerous". With all due respect, no one who has been to Phuket, Boracay, or Bali would share your opinion. It... More

“Artificial”

Reviewed April 23, 2013

This is my first review and I am afraid it won't be showing high marks. I stayed at the Plantation Bay as I heard good things about it and I believe it is a well established property. However, it really isn't to my taste. The entire complex is like a theme park. Everything, from the man made lagoons to the... More

Stayed in the Riverboat Suite and enjoyed the entire visit as I was with my wife three children and two nannies. Wasn't sure how the staff would be with children and needed a vacation.

Dear Mark W, Many of our guests are international couples/families like yourselves.
