I had a wonderful experience at Plantation Bay Resort & Spa during my quarantine. The setting was beautiful and relaxing, with clean and spacious rooms offering stunning views. The service was exceptional, and I appreciated the warm hospitality from the staff. The only downside was the lengthy wait for taxis when it was time to leave, and some amenities could use improvement. Overall, this resort provided great value for a serene getaway during a challenging time.

During my stay, I found the hotel to be quite a mixed bag. The rooms were clean and had direct access to a lovely lagoon, which was a major plus. However, the dining experience was severely disappointing with very limited options and poorly prepared food. The service was friendly and made a real effort to enhance our stay, but the overall quality left me wanting more. Despite its charming environment, the dining experience really overshadowed my time there.
