Besides the refreshing lagoon dips, impeccable accommodations, pulsating dinner shows, to-die-for croissants, and exceptional staff service at Plantation Bay Resort and Spa, first-time visitors never fail to share their experience at the world-class spa in Cebu named “Mogambo Springs.†A surprising find in the Mactan Island resort designed like a colonial agricultural estate is the full-service spa built to resemble an 18th-century Tokugawa Japanese village but using native materials from floor to ceiling. Four pools with built-in jacuzzis, pressurized needle showers, bubblers, and waterfalls provide massages that range from gentle to invigorating. A guest can also opt for the Vichy shower, a hydro massage from a row of shower heads while lying down. Plantation Bay general manager Efren Belarmino revealed that the picture-perfect Mogambo Springs pulls its own share of clients to the resort. For total body cleansing, Mogambo Springs also offers “Loving Life,†a modified detox program that focuses on eating the right food at the right time based on three body cycles. A stay of four days and three nights is recommended for full results. For inquiries, call (63-32) 505-9800, e-mail sales@plantationbay.com or visit their website at plantationbay.com.

A fabulous break for the Zonta ladies
The hardworking ladies of the Zonta Club of Manila I recently took a well-deserved break from the hustle and bustle of their various activities with a fun-filled party held at Minerva Tanseco’s well-appointed condominium. It was an evening of endless merry-making and non-stop laughter as the ladies enjoyed each other’s company over an endless buffet of their favorite dishes including a variety of juices enjoyed by the health-conscious group. Surely, genial hostess Minerva Tanseco knows how to turn a simple party into an enjoyable feast.
