My experience at this hotel was mixed. The rooms were spacious and nice, but the service left much to be desired. There were too many restrictions that affected my overall stay, and the dining options were quite limited. On a positive note, the unique atmosphere and clean environment stood out during my time there.

My stay at this hotel was incredibly frustrating due to the unaccommodating nature of the staff regarding dietary restrictions. While the pool area is enjoyable, the hygiene standards left something to be desired. The location is convenient, but it can be quite far from other dining options.

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.
