Relaxing Spa Experience

My husband and I had the pleasure of using the spa at Plantation Bay, and it was hands down the best massage I’ve ever had! The atmosphere was magical, and the cleanliness was perfect. The staff were attentive and made our spa day nice. Highly recommend it to anyone staying here!

7.0/10

While the resort has beautiful lagoons and well-equipped accommodations, the dining options left something to be desired. Our experience was enhanced by the staff's attentiveness, but we found the food quality and variety lacking for the price we paid. Additionally, the noise levels were bothersome due to the lack of soundproofing. Overall, it's a nice place for a family visit, but improvements could be made in certain areas.

Our stay at the resort was a mixed bag. On one hand, the beautiful spacious rooms and the attentive support during a family wedding made for a memorable experience. However, we felt disappointed with the dining options and the service in terms of room cleaning and meal preparation. There are definitely areas for improvement to match the expectations set by the resort’s star rating.

Our experience at the resort was a mix of good and disappointing moments. The picturesque lagoon views were a highlight, and we appreciated the size of the family rooms. However, the strict rules regarding noise for our kids and the mosquito issue were major letdowns. Additionally, the dining options left a lot to be desired, and the unexpected car rental charge at checkout was frustrating.

The resort has stunning facilities with beautiful pools and lagoons, making it a visually appealing place for a vacation. However, my experience was marred by the lack of kid-friendly policies, frustrating dining restrictions, and poor service when it came to addressing our family needs. While the atmosphere is great for relaxing, it's not the best choice for families with young children.
