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.

Guest review
This hotel was amazing. We stayed here for four nights and did not want to leave. We have a mountain view room which had the most incredible view (we did see the other rooms and the view is not as nice - onto main roads) and the bed was a comfortable cloud! Breakfast was also great, with tons of variety and eggs made to order. The pool and view from the rooftop is incredible and we loved coming back to recharge after long days out exploring. The staff are so kind and went above and beyond. We didn't want to leave.

Guest review
Stephanie, the host, was extremely responsive and helpful in communicating before and during my stay. A hot breakfast was provided on the first morning and breakfast provisions for subsequent days. There was a small kitchenette. It was a reasonably easy walk into the centre of town (10 to 20 mins walk depending on where you are going) .

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.
Providing garden views, Shell Villa apartel resort in Koror offers accommodation, a garden, a bar, barbecue facilities and a shared lounge.
Guest review
We visited Palau in August 2023. We stayed in Koror at Shell Villa apartel resort. We definitely recommend this hotel. The rooms are spacious, very clean and equipped with all necessary facilities. Location very good. The transfer from the airport is very short and you can get to the city center on foot. Most importantly, very polite and helpful staff. Open to all guests' needs and requests. If we visit again, we will definitely choose the same hotel
