Toward that goal, telephone conversations and audible electronics are strictly prohibited in the gym, Spa, and most dining venues. Parents are enjoined to ensure their children do not bother others with repeated screaming or crying tantrums, which also endangers guest safety as it desensitizes staff, who might therefore fail to respond to a genuine emergency, as happens regularly in many other resorts around the world. Note: Unlike most hotels, Plantation Bay actually enforces its rules and policies. Ill-behaved guests and people addicted to their phones will thus not be happy at Plantation Bay and should book elsewhere. But if you want peace and quiet, a relaxing break from your high-stress life, we’re the resort for you. 1. Please note that the hotel only provides mattresses for extra bedding. 2. Plantation Bay a Real Resort with a Real Spa does not permit audible electronics and prolonged telephone conversations in the restaurant. All electronic devices are prohibited inside the gym and the spa. 3. Please be mindful of noise levels in consideration of our other guests, who are also entitled to have the peace and quiet they have paid for. 4. To ensure a clean and enjoyable environment for all guests, we will be implementing a Food Delivery Corkage Fee of P500 for each 6-liter bag of takeout food brought onto the property. This fee will be collected in cash by security personnel at the gate. Ordering takeout food to consume in your room can detract from the unique holiday atmosphere and may cause unintentional inconveniences. These include attracting pests, increasing cleaning and waste disposal needs, and posing health risks from improperly prepared food, especially when it comes to chicken and seafood. While many hotels in Mactan do not enforce such a policy, we ask that if you prefer to enjoy takeout food, you consider dining outside the resort or selecting accommodations that better fit your preferences.
