exteriorTHe resort has a colonial-plantation village feel, unique from common "native" or "Asian" themes of most resorts in the continent. The 256 rooms and suites are separated into building each of five to twenty rooms, or small complexes such as Windward Cluster or Piazza Palermo, to avoid a high-rise, commercial effect.
lobbyThe Alcatraz Lobby building was named as such since this is where most administrative offices and indoor function areas are located. We joke the we pity those who have to stay indoors, like inmates of the infamous Alcatraz penitentiary, instead of enjoying the sunshine. Apart from offices and function rooms, the Alcatraz building features guest check-in and check-out, transportation desk, Lobby Bar, Tabaqueria tobacco shop, and a cage that is home to our resident cranky parrot. From the lobby area, guests can also see the Live Aquarium featuring the tropical fish that can be seen in the Plantation Bay house reef, as well as gazebos leading to our very own prawn farm.
generalThis 5 star resort is a tropical lagoon resort set in 11.4 hectares of secluded ground with lush tropical gardens, palm trees, and waterfalls overlooking a stretch of white sand beach. The resort has an extensive choice of water sport, tennis, golf and a playground for children. The outdoor spa offers body & face treatment, hot whirlpool and saltwater spring.
