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 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!

Guest review
My stay at the Ocean Star Hotel in downtown Koror, close to the T-Dock, was a notably comfortable experience. The standout feature of the hotel was its exceptionally clean and modern rooms. I found the attention to cleanliness and the contemporary design of the rooms to be very welcoming and conducive to a relaxing stay.
The staff at the hotel were particularly commendable for their friendliness and attentiveness. Their approach to service was warm and accommodating, which greatly enhanced the overall atmosphere of my visit. Every request was met with a smile and prompt assistance, making my stay smooth and enjoyable.
The hotel offers breakfast, which I found to be quite satisfying. The quality of the food was good, providing a pleasant start to each day. It was a enjoyable meal that catered well to the start of a busy day exploring Koror.
The location of the hotel is ideal for those looking to be in the heart of the city and near the T-Dock. It serves as a convenient base for various activities and exploring the local area. The proximity to key attractions and ease of access to day trips around Koror was a significant advantage.
In summary, the Ocean Star Hotel provided a good stay with its clean, modern rooms and excellent service. The breakfast was a nice addition to the mornings, and the central location made it easy to enjoy the best of Koror. This hotel is a suitable option for travelers looking for a comfortable and straightforward place to stay in the city.
