2.0

at Savannah Grill

(Plantation Bay Resort & Spa)

-Marigondon, Lapu-Lapu City, Cebu, Philippines-

with the Family

Our Second Family Vacation to Plantation Bay Resort & Spa (This Time with Momo) (Day 2)

• • Day 1 (5.118 Lobster Newberg)
  • Day 2 (5.119 Hungarian Hotdog)
  • Day 3 (5.120 Inihaw na Pusit)
  • Day 4 (5.121 Best Pig … Ever!)

For most of our stay, we hung out at Savannah Grill.  At times, I did wonder whether we should try to take advantage of the various other opportunities that the resort had to offer. But we were having such a blast, why bother.

For our next trip wherever, I’m thinking that we may just need to find a small boutique hotel in which all the amenities are centralized/concentrated, quality over quantity.

Savannah Grill has one of the three chlorinated swimming pools in the resort (the salt-water lagoon that dominated most of the property leaves a slightly icky residue on the skin), the only one in which most of the pool is shaded under tree cover.  The pool is only 1 meter at its deepest, so IZ could roam freely.

Another benefit is that food from the restaurant can be consumed indoors, under air-conditioning, if it gets too muggy outside.

The menu is clearly geared towards kids, and/or beer drinkers.

And yes, the food is pretty good.

The hotdog is Hungarian because it’s topped with chili con carne.

Happy Hour: 2-for-1 drinks from 1600 to 1900.  I’ll take 6-for-3, thank you.

We enjoyed all of our meals poolside.
