Make sure cancellation policy is clear
Reviewed By dokodemomamaI did not end up staying at this property, but want to post this review to make sure people are careful with the booking process. I booked for Christmas 2021 via Expedia. It was clearly stated at time of booking that the bookings were fully refundable if cancelled before a certain date. The confirmations also stated this. However, when I cancelled well in advance of the cancellation date, PPR charged the deposit (that was supposed to be charged months before). When I inquired with PPR reservations, they indicated the room was non-refundable. I showed them the confirmation that clearly said the room was refundable. They did not respond. I then went to Expedia, which told me that the reservation was definitely refundable and that I would definitely get my money back. But a couple of days later, Expedia told me the deposit was with the hotel and the hotel was indicating the room was non-refundable. They told me I'd have to address with PPR. (A side note--never book through Expedia unless you have no choice. They do not stand by their customers and add an extra layer of bureaucracy. I think there are many people waiting for refunds from Expedia.). I reached out again to PPR with no response. I then went the nuclear option, disputing with the credit card company (which was completely useless and gave me an excuse to cancel this AA Platinum Mastercard after 20 years of grinning and bearing it), contacted the Palau tourist association in both Palau and my home country, started posting reviews warning people on all possible sites, and tracking down the name and email of a manager through a crafty Google search. It wasn't until I was able to reach the assistant manager that I was able to make some progress. To her credit, she was super responsive and was able to determine fairly quickly that there was a communication issue between PPR and Expedia. My sizable deposit of a couple thousand dollars was finally refunded to my card. I have heard great things about Palau and about PPR, and do hope to visit someday. But it was a huge hassle having to spend multiple hours trying to resolve this with PPR employees who were completely non-responsive and dismissive. If not for me finding the assistant manager's contact info online and tracking her down, I don't think I ever would have gotten my money back. Her assistance is why I have given a 3 rating instead of a 1.

Palau Plantation Resort is a South Pacific hideaway offering travelers a wide selection of traditional styled cabins, cottages and villas surrounded by the natural beauty of a tropical paradise.
Tired and broken.
Reviewed By KatherineF1929This could potentially be a nice, secluded resort but we found it to be in need of renovating, repair, and improvement. The rooms were ok with small balconies. Mattresses were fairly comfortable but blankets needed to be replaced. Bathrooms were the nicest feature with a nice shower and an array of goodies like travel hairbrushes, toothbrushes, and travel body towels in addition to shampoo, conditioner and body wash. Everything seemed clean. The door locks were very flimsy but security did not seem to be an issue. There was a set of perhaps 25 steep stairs that had to be climbed in order to reach the level where the rooms were located. No easy feat slugging suitcases. Outside, the pool seemed unused and not especially clean looking. There were no chaise lounges, umbrellas, or anything around the pool at all, giving it a closed down, vacant appearance. There were three rattan chairs on a sunporch but they were broken and uncomfortable to sit in. The entire place felt empty to us. We rarely saw or heard any other people there. Special note: this is not a place for anyone with difficulty walking or climbing stairs. The walkways are mostly stone (the bigger ones that are sharp and hurt your feet too much to go barefoot) and rolling luggage on them is going to damage the wheels for sure. It is also a good 15 minute walk from town, which made it inconvenient to grab a meal out (we never ate at the small restaurant there and didn't ever see anyone use it). There is a hotel shuttle which only runs in the late afternoons and evenings. We had friends who stayed at the hotels in town and thought they would have been a better choice.

4. Dolphin Bay Resort & Peleliu Divers
Overall Ratings
4 based on 49 reviews
Exceptional resort---entirely satisfied
Reviewed By David SGroup of four stayed four nights while visiting Peleliu. Had good pre-travel communications: email instructions for boat transfer from Koror, fax at hotel in Koror AND a call to room in Koror to confirm. Three levels of communication from Mayumi to make sure we understood boat transfer. Singularly impressive. Seven cottages all face the ocean. In great condition and well maintained. Cleaned effectively daily. Beach area with chairs and hammocks---face sunset, which was spectacular! Meals prepared by Joy were outstanding. Very attentive. Land tour of WW2 battlefield by Jeff tremendous...recommend full day-tour. SCUBA with Godwin well run. Note---beach area not conducive to swimming or snorkeling...reef makes too shallow. Do have kayaks available, but no other activities such as at a large resort. Bottom line---this is a very well run resort, perfect for relaxing and visiting island. I adamantly recommend.

Nice place to stay in Airai
Reviewed By Raj BAlthough the Resort is not in Koror but just nearby international airport of Palau. It has one unique thing "mangroves trial". Resort is clean in very peaceful environment. Mangroves trial ends at the sea, where we can enjoy the breeze and definitely views. other activities like billiards, golf, ping-pong are good for kids.

Boasting a collection of nautically inspired rooms and suites just steps from the marina and the best dive operators, this adventurous choice in Koror, Palau hotels is ideal for honeymooners, outdoor explorers and groups.
Just came back from 11 days in Paradise.
Reviewed By Rob CThe facilities at the Cove Resort were excellent, and the people are so kind (while being professional). I simply loved the buffet breakfast---the coconut rice was my favourite. I was able to set the air conditioning to a comfortable 28 degrees C (about 82 F) (it was typically 31 outside, even at 6am, and I don't like too much of a temperature shock). Would stay there again so very much! I should add: nice view, nice pool, good restaurant (important for the Restricted Movement phase before the mandatory COVID test). Was very comfortable there.

Enjoy your own private bungalow in a tropical jungle with ocean view, inspired by Palau's centuries old architecture. Each private bungalow has a balcony overlooking the ocean and rock islands, King or twin beds, A/C, mini bar, safe, TV, internet and much more. If you are looking for a place to spend your honeymoon or to get away from all the traffic, all the bustle of the city; then we are the place that you are looking for.
Excellent as usual!
Reviewed By TomofOrlandoI thoroughly enjoyed my third stay at Carolines for a business trip that included a little scuba diving, too, with Palau Dive Adventures. The staff at Carolines is really delightful and help with any little detail: arranging to have a rental car delivered, coordinating with the dive operators, making restaurant reservations, advising on covid testing requirements, etc. I look forward to my fourth visit!
