Palau Pacific Resort

My wife and I stayed here for a week on a scuba trip. We absolutely fell in love with hotel and the area. The hotel helped us book our dives through the onsite dive shop, which were all incredible. We usually try and leave resorts, but felt so comfortable and welcomed here that we basically spent the entire week onsite. Want to give a special shout out to a couple people who made our stay even better: Jerick the rockstar server who gave us a special honeymoon dinner service, Heather the best bartender on the island, Ian who makes the best margaritas on the island, and Rey who helped get us from the airport in style. Really can't say enough positive things about this resort. Will absolutely be back.

Ask for Kurt he’s a DAWG.

Visited for the day and had an excellent time reading at the beach, swimming in the pool, and playing board games. The ribs were exceptionally good at lunch.

We spent a fortnight in this resort. It is beautiful and comfortable place but what makes it, is the staff. From the lady GM to the last helper in the garden, they are ALL incredibly friendly and helpful! Honestly, it was the best experience possible. Actually still is, we have another couple of days 👍

We loved staying at PPR. We rented a 'hut' over the ocean which was amazing. You could pop into the ocean from our deck. It was magical sitting on the deck and watching the ocean. The bed was nice, the wifi strong, the shower was huge and surrounded by glass windows. It felt private, quiet and delightful. The grounds are lovely and very well groomed. All of the staff were kind, friendly, helpful and everything that you might want. If you can swing that you'll have a lovely time and remember it forever. Our kids stayed in a normal hotel room on the other side of the property that was okay, but cramped and a little mildewy. If we had stayed there I would have hated it. There's some slightly weird classism there (we could eat in a separate apparently fancier place, but never tried it because they wouldn't let our teenage kids go there since they didn't have a beach hut). There's only 6 beach huts and the place wasn't very busy so I don't see why they wouldn't accommodate us, but it wasn't important enough to us to push it. The normal food was pretty, plentiful, but pretty depressing. Imagine the kind of thing you might eat on a small multi-day live aboard trip or maybe a mid-range business hotel breakfast buffet. Overcooked, under-flavored and catering to a very wide array of tastes. That said, their natto was incredible. The kids liked the pastries, but I didn't try them. We ate dinner there the first few days we were there because we didn't have a car (yet) and were exhausted from our kayaking/snorkeling trips. That was a mistake because the restaurants in Koror are much much better/more interesting.

All around beautiful resort area, especially the large white sand beach with palms and the pool bar in the back. The garden between some of the rooms is similarity picturesque and relaxing to walk through. (Brand new tennis courts also notworthy!) Another strength is the exceptionally friendly and supportive staff; they were quick to help us with all our needs and concerns, one of them being the room, that seemed fairly aged and in need of renovation. All together a memorable five days, especially with the beautiful surroundings, great staff and good (though not cheap) food being the highlights.

An excellent resort in Palau!!

Location, location, location! We weren't staying here, but we decided to stop by for a drink (or several) at the beachside bar. The location was unreal and I loved their speciality 'shark attack' cocktail (just make sure you don't drive after that one!). There are two great gift shops. One is more of a gallery, with really cool handicrafts. The other has your standard souvenirs etc. If you aren't staying at the resort you also have the option of paying $100.09 to use the facilities for the day. This includes a ~$38 voucher that can be redeemed for kayak rental, at the bar, or gift shop (must be spent at one place only). Although we didn't end up snorkelling, some fellow travellers told us it was some of the best in palau. If you want somewhere that you don't really need to leave, this is your place!

For the price we paid to stay, and this being a 4-star resort, I feel like it is lacking a lot of things. Cons: 1. The suite we stayed at got flooded because the toilet broke, and we asked the front desk to come and fix the problem... took us more than 4+ calls to even get them to come check after they forgot our problem... we came back to find that the toilet was not inspected or fixed at all. They endedup telling us the toilet can't be fixed immediately, and we will be reasigned a new suite. However, after switching to a new one, we found out that the safe was out of battery... 2. The safe in our other room was also broke. 3. Only provided one set of everything. One umbrella, one key...which is not the most welcoming of all hotels. 4. Had to manually drag our luggage down as we leave our compound. No one offered to drop us off any point of our stay. 5. The breakfast buffet was mostly carbohydrate foods... not a lot of fresh ingredients. 6. The Coconut restaurant took forever to cook our meals ... 7. We have to pay to get fresh towels at the private beach that the hotel owns. 8. The hardwares in the rooms are OLD... a simple upgrade could've changed everything. 9. The bottles for shower gels and shampoo sets looked quite used...and could be presented better 10. The first suite was not very soundproof 11. The staff didn't give us a quick heads up of what facilities we can use at the resort, we were left to figure things out ourselves... The staffs should be trained better. 12. The suite rooms range from 55 - 71 m2. Neither do you get to choose how big a room you get to stay in, you also don't really get to choose if you get a king bed or double beds... You just have to pray they give you what you want. Pros: 1. Easy to park cars 2. Comes with two tennis courts 3. The biodiversity in the hotel is insane! 4. Great view
