They also had fresh coconut water waiting for us in our room. The coconuts were chilled and the coconut water\/juice was so fresh and delicious. Brian doesn’t like coconuts so I got to drink both. Yeah!<\/p>\n

We got two free massage oils. That’s what was in the little woven bag.<\/p>\n

The bathroom was very nice.. 100X better than the one we had to endure at Alona Tropical in Bohol.<\/p>\n

Brian trying our our tub… <\/p>\n

\"IMG_8297\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The spa staff made an herbal bath for me on each night of our stay.<\/p>\n

Brian and I wanted to indulge so we stayed at Mogambo Springs, the spa at Plantation Bay. We were in MS 02.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_8310\"<\/a><\/p>\n

They only have three guest rooms there. The rest are treatment\/spa rooms. The spa is patterned after a Japanese village. The place was so relaxing and serene. The entire area smelled fragrant and aromatic also. We loved it!<\/p>\n

\"IMG_8338\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"IMG_8337\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I think this is the manicure and pedicure hut.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_6931\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"IMG_8432\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I loved all of the kalachuchi<\/i> flowers everywhere.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_6898\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"IMG_8470\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This is the spa lobby.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_6895\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We went around exploring and checked out some of the treatment rooms.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_8364\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"IMG_8367\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"IMG_8362\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"IMG_8366\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"IMG_8339\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Lots of bamboo trees everywhere…<\/p>\n

\"IMG_8365\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"IMG_8365\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"IMG_8357\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We had a free one hour massage for each day that we stayed at the spa. These were the massage oil choices.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_6934\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Mom and dad got a poolside room which was just a short distance away from the spa. Staying at the spa cost Brian and I a bit more, but we got free massages and herbal baths so I thought it was a pretty good deal. <\/p>\n

I think next time we go we’ll only spend one night at Mogambo and then move to a lagoonside room. That might be better because getting massaged every night was a bit much. The herbal baths were nice, though. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Plantation Bay was one of the highlights of the trip. The property is beautiful and well-maintained and all of the staff were fantastic. We will definitely go again on our next trip to the Philippines.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
