Situated southeast of the Philippines, Palau is one of the world’s most renowned scuba diving spots. Boasting mysterious shipwrecks and a wealth of diverse marine life, it’s no wonder this cluster of limestone and volcanic islands is dubbed ‘the Serengeti of the Sea”. The Blue Corner is located less than an hour’s boat ride from most resorts and is undoubtedly Palau’s most popular dive site. This shark-tooth-shaped point extends out into the open ocean and is surrounded by the likes of barracudas and grey reef sharks. Due to Palau’s strong currents, most sites are recommended for more experienced divers. If scuba diving isn’t your thing, you can enjoy a spot of snorkelling at Long Island Park or Nikko Bay. Local operators also offer day trips to the Rock Islands which include kayaking tours. Palau caters for budget, mid-range and luxury stays, with a number of guest houses, hotels and high-end resorts scattered around. The bulk of properties is located on Koror Island.

The bugalows were beautifully surrounded by nature, various blooming plants with beautiful smells. The views were amazing and it was so nice and quiet. The staff was so helpful and nice. They even took me for a ride around the tesort in their buggy and kept my laptop while I went diving.

Free transfers around Palau provided by the hotel was a god send and definitely needed if you’re not hiring a car. The staff were very friendly and went above and beyond to accommodate our needs. Would definitely recommend staying here, great location, very clean and good breakfast buffet.

A family owned property that is located few minutes away from the city. Provides a relaxing ambience, privacy to guests and a comfortable space including a decent size kitchen where we cooked most of our meal. Our host, Jerome and Godiva were very accommodating and welcoming, and has been very helpful all throughout our holiday. Rented a car from them and got a great deal and they also organised our island tour partnered with locals which was amazing! The staff were very kind and what I love the most is they care about the animals - they have three rescued dogs - Lady, Pineapple and Ariana who are always happy to greet you anytime of the day. Thank you Ngermid Oasis and will definitely come back.

The host is warm and friendly, making you feel right at home. We encountered issues during the time travelling, and the host came right away to sort everything out perfectly. Super helpful.
The room is perfect for friends to relax and unwind after days of intense underwater activities.
They offer car rental, which is a better offer than other companies.
We had a wonderful stay here and will choose here again in the future.

Palau Sunrise Seaview Landison Retreat has free bikes, outdoor swimming pool, a fitness centre and garden in Melekeok. With free WiFi, this 5-star hotel offers room service and a 24-hour front desk.
Guest review
This is a new hotel and a perfect choice for enjoying Palau. The place is isolated, no others hotels are in this side of the island at the moment. It’s totally new a modern but surrounded by nature. The hotel offers rooms for any budget and both views are astounding. Families are welcome the pool is huge, there is a playroom for kids, bicycles and an observation point at the rooftop.
The staff is really nice. They help as much as the can like shuttles, organising private tours or dropping you at the beach with the cart. They try to make you a confortable stay full of memories.
We really enjoy the food of chef Simon. Well done and many different options and tastes from many parts of the world. The breakfast is very complete and fresh flavours.
There Spa offers Thailand massages, don’t miss it, because they are amazing, strong hand and de-stressing treatment.
The island is the paradise of a snorkelling, scuba diving, discovering nature and enjoying a quiet and peaceful holidays. 100% recommended!

West Plaza Downtown features free WiFi throughout the property and views of city in Koror. There is free private parking and the property provides paid airport shuttle service.
Guest review
The staff are very friendly and helpful. The location of the hotel is central and within the city centre. The entrance is not appealing and not the ambiance of a hotel. The room was a good size but somewhat dated. The reception arranged a snorkelling trip with Impac Tours to Rock Islands, including Jellyfish Lake, Shark city, Natural Arch and Milkyway which was fantastic. Large shopping centre, restaurants and cafés within walking distance. Good gift shop with traditional storyboards at Belau Museum. The West Plaza group has another hotel across the road at Lebuu Street which seems much newer.
Palau Hotel is centrally located in Koror, just 5 minutes’ walk from the waterfront. Free WiFi is available in entire hotel.
Guest review
In particular the very friendly staff made my stay so nice. Always with a smile and a friendly greeting as you passed the reception area. The most friendly staff at any hotel I have ever stayed at made my stay exceptional. The room was clean, plenty of hot water in the shower beds were comfortable.

Providing garden views, Shell Villa apartel resort in Koror offers accommodation, a garden, a bar, barbecue facilities and a shared lounge.
Guest review
The most important was the people that helped us during our stay, Leo Sylvia Josh and everyone else. Leo helped us a lot with day trips, car rental, scenic airplane and any other information about the island. The room was spacious and the shared kitchen an added convenience. It was useful having a car as distances even within Koror are big and you need to explore the big island. All was great.
