Wonderful Hotel with great facilities and an excellent staff. I really enjoyed the restaurant; tasty food done well while I only ate all the cart, I peruse the buffet and it did have quite a large selection of choices. Having both a swimming pool and a beach with its own lagoon was also a treat. I highly recommend this hotel.

Probably the best place on the island. It’s a gorgeous resort. The beach is pristine. It’s really nice that all of that is Japanese style that there is no tipping necessary at all. I thought it was a wonderful value.

The location was walkable to some restaurants but don't expect to snorkel right there. The small lagoon wasn't much and there is too much boat traffic outside the buoy lines. The Blue Marlin dive shop was great though.

Palau is a quiet place, with not a ton to do other than dive and relax. This hotel is great for relaxing and has access to diving. Good food. Nice views. Beach area is not big, but is nice and differentiates from other hotels in the area.

I'm a repeat guest. All the staff were friendly and nice, the spa was nice as before, and the food was good. The only thing I didn't like was there were people smoking outside the smoking area( I couldn't dry my diving gears on the balcony cause the guest next door were always smoking on the balcony, which is not allowed).
