Seniors
In a world that moves too fast, here is calm designed to last.Seniors
Plantation Bay is possibly the BEST RESORT IN THE WORLD for Senior Travel, Convalescence, the Disabled, and the Grieving.
Keep reading to find out why this matters.
Undecided on a holiday? We understand why: Most resorts are designed and operated as if YOU didn’t exist. Drab corridors and long walks. Mediocre food, just one swimming pool. No activities for YOU. And no respect for YOU.
Plantation Bay is one of the best choices in the world for older travelers, persons recovering from illness, and persons with special physical or emotional needs.
Blind persons will appreciate our flowering plants and trees, the soothing sounds of rippling water, and gentle sea breezes. If you’re searching on behalf of a blind or deaf loved one, search no further.
Healing massages and guided physical therapy are available at our 18th-Century-Japanese-themed spa, whose entrance is via a short ramp from the main roadway. It’s like gliding through a magic portal to another world.
Many sheltered rest areas are scattered around the resort. No fighting other guests for breathing room or a place to just be at peace with yourself.
- All our important food and activity areas are easily ACCESSIBLE. Almost the entire resort is on a single level, with paved roads ideal for walking, or for getting around in mobility-assistance devices (electric devices available, free, subject to availability).
- Plantation Bay ITSELF is easily ACCESSIBLE, close to a major airport with direct flights to all major cities in Asia, plus Dubai and Doha, and now Brisbane. Not only can seniors get here with less bother, but your friends and family will gladly accompany you.
- Don’t get stuck in an enclosed room that’s 10 minutes’ walk from any restaurant or facility (and effectively from any human contact), as in most resorts. Over half our guest rooms are on the ground floor, offering immediate immersion in Plantation Bay’s charming village ambience and many facilities. In case of fire (not that we ever had one), even with moderately impaired mobility you can be outdoors in a flash, unlike in most hotels where escaping fire is problematic even for fully-mobile persons.
Several unique free-of-charge or minimal-cost activities to promote family bonding, tranquility, and/or mental health: Birdwatching, Botanical Tour, Name Game based on resort signage, yoga classes, use of Spa facilities (sauna, steam bath, pools, lounging areas; children are not permitted in the Spa). Communing with Nature (charges apply, some mobility issues may rule out): boat rides to neighboring islets and sand bars, mountain picnic, whale shark excursion. Hyperbaric oxygen chamber (charges apply), said to help with some developmental difficulties as well as wound healing.
Nurse on duty 16 hours daily, doctor on call 24/7. Duty Manager and Telephone Operator available round-the-clock. By prior arrangement, we can also provide haircutting, manicuring, and simple dental services on site.
Most rooms are only a few steps away from the main roadway, quickly reachable by hotel vehicle. You can be on your way to either of two nearby hospitals (15 minutes’ drive) within a few minutes of calling for help. Compare that with being in a mid-rise resort several hundred meters away from the elevators and a lobby that is several hundred meters away from the parking lot, or in a remote location far from modern medical facilities (e.g., most of Greece, the Red Sea, Turkey, Maldives, Seychelles, much of Thailand, much of Vietnam, and most other Philippine destinations like Palawan, Bohol, Siargao, Boracay).
- We also work hard to provide delicious food from a variety of international cuisines; even our breakfast menu changes daily so that you don’t get bored even in the course of a long stay.
- And our spa offers massages for all tastes and moods, from babying to masochistic.
- Telephone addiction is bad for your well-being and your family relations. With everyone’s interest in mind, audible telephones and electronics are prohibited in most dining areas and the gym, and completely prohibited in the spa. Repetitive shouting and screaming are discouraged. Proactive enforcement of Peace and Quiet policies helps all guests relax and de-stress. There are few better hotels in which to recover from an operation or illness, or to come to terms with grief.
Cheerful staff with infectious good humor — the best of all cures, and the best way to feel young again.
Peaceful, relaxing ambience proactively enforced. Plantation Bay is one of the quietest and most tranquil resorts in the entire world. (Yet it’s only a 20-minute drive to major shopping, dining, and gaming centers.)
Ideal for multi-generation families, with activities and features to delight the young and the not-so-young in a unique village atmosphere.
- Unlike many resorts laid out repetitiously like prison camps, Plantation Bay offers a colonial-plantation feel throughout, but with constantly-evolving landscape and architecture, like a real village. Every bend in the road surprises and delights.
- As a resort with extensive grounds and unique features, we are committed to ensuring the safety and well-being of all our guests. In almost 30 years of operation we have never lost any guest by drowning or other accident, or due to failure to respond promptly to a medical emergency.
So, to repeat our question,
- 3 Days/Nights in a Ground-Floor Beachside Room
- Single or Double Occupancy
- P2,000 Daily Credit at the Spa toward massages, beauty treatments, or guided physical therapy
- FREE use of electric personal mobility device throughout stay (subject to availability)
