    Price is on the higher end.

    Perfect location on the beach, superb snorkeling from the beach, very good food (but not cheap...) and extremely friendly and helpful staff.

    Great location for a beachside stay in Palau

    Noting that Palau generally seems to still be recovering from COVID, with tourism numbers struggling, we felt that the hotel was feeling quite tired. Last visited 15 years ago and although there has been the addition of the overwater bungalows, things generally had not changed and some more maintenance was needed. It is an expensive hotel by Palau standards and does not quite deliver value for money. It would also have been helpful if the hotel ran some shuttle services of a night time into town - the hotel is quite a way from downtown and other dining places - but we did find the taxis to be pretty reliable and quick.

    The location is excellent with a great beach out front with nice swimming and snorkelling over a good coral reef. It is a nice and relaxed location, with excellent service from all of the staff - attentive, welcoming and very helpful. Had a ocean view room with a nice balcony overlooking the pool and beach. Food varied in quality but generally good, and a nice beachside bar, particularly to enjoy the evening sunsets. Used the fitness centre and this was quite well outfitted. We dived most days and was great to be able to picked up on the hotel pier for our trips - very convenient.

    The corals in the hotel area are mostly bleached, very sad. Still, you can see some marine life. This should not be a downside, especially for divers who will be going elsewhere.

    Stunning location. Very relaxing. All staff were really nice, particularly Teruo, who went with me snorkeling and on a nature walk and told me about the vegetation, birds and past and present of Palau. Food acceptable for the context.

    The rooms were a little lower quality than you’d expect for the price, but the property facilities made up for it.

    A beautiful resort with fantastic service and unbeatable sunsets! There are plenty of activities at your fingertips. It was the best buffet breakfast we experienced in Palau. I suffer from a mould illness and was delighted to see an air purifier in the room. Highly recommend heading to the spa for a Balinese massage!

    Some of property becoming dated, but upgrades are ongoing. Too far to walk to town so need a car if that is important.

    Food was superb. The Beach had excellent snorkeling with gorgeous giant clams. Sleeping was great as mattresses were high quality. Staff was friendly and helpful. Sunset views outstanding.

    Everything was just what we needed.

    Perfectly located on its very own private beach, the views of the sunset and layout of the property made it very appealing and attractive to sit outside and truly relax. From the moment we opened our eyes, we had a spectacular view of the ocean, private jetty and the lush greenery. The property was very well maintained and the staff were incredibly helpful and friendly. We were always greeted and made to feel welcome. The food was great and we loved that breakfast was included in our stay. Travelling with 2 small children was seamless during our stay. We absolutely cannot wait to come back.

    We ate at the hotel five nights and almost exhausted the restaurant menu (with a family of four). We ordered a tropical fruit platter and received three types of melon and an orange - I was hoping for papaya, pineapple, mango, and banana. Says a lot if that's the biggest gripe I have...

    The location was excellent, right on the water. The hotel staff were friendly, helpful, and responsive. The facilities were straight-forward and not over-done. Perfect for a casual, relaxed get away. Nice snorkeling just off the beach. Comfortable pool with great sunsets. Enjoyed the frogs on the walk to our room.

    Well, the COVID has taken its toll there. The resort seems to have been sleeping for a long time. Not really clean, a lot of things need to be fixed. The rooms are rather small for the price and the bath curtain is something I wished I will no more see again in my life. However, people are nice and helpful and the cocktails are aplenty and well prepared.

    The surroundings of this resort is second to none. A pristine bay, a white sand beach and tropical vegetation complete this stunning landscape, . The infinite pool, lined with palm trees, is gorgeous to say the least.
