I Would not recommend this Hotel, The amenities they advertise on their website are Not available. No Phone, Internet or TV service is available. Yet, you are required to pay full price for not having these services. I ask to speak to management for three days, but the staff just told me the manager is not on the island and no assistant manager is available either. DO NOT STAY AT THIS HOTLEL, no English is also spoken, Food and rooms are horrible.

We stayed in multiple locations in Palau and in my opinion Sea Passion was the best! You can’t beat the location or the view and the service was outstanding. A mid range hotel that exceeded expectations with clean modern rooms, a small beach and pool. Hiring a kayak is a must, and so is sunset at the Beach Bar. Fish n Fins tours are right there and it’s super close to other tour operators. Highly recommended.

We loved the spacious rooms and the on site snorkeling and beach. It was nice to have breakfast included and we could walk to several restaurants. We also enjoyed kayaking but had to pay extra for kayaks and they were not great kayaks. All in all, we really enjoyed our stay.

Few days in Koror after a dive boat.

An incredible hotel. The location and views from the hotel are stunning, the hotel fantastic, the staff are extremely attentive. I highly recommend this hotel for a great stay in Koror.

First off the hotel is in my opinion situated in one of the best locations in Palau. Beautiful lagoon/beach access, just outside of the main area in Koror. Close enough to everything you need but isolated enough to feel private and secluded. The room you get will make a difference in the overall feel you get. Since I wasn’t planning on leaving the hotel much I opted for one of the rooms with a deck and I totally loved the view. This is probably the closest you could get to a bungalow over the water without actually being in a bungalow over the water. They have their own little beach area, dock access, and small pool. The staff were very friendly and helpful and most rooms come with a continental-ish breakfast. Breakfast selection was limited but it did have omelets to order and some meats like ham and marinated pork so it was more than just a continental breakfast and more than I anticipated. [Update] the breakfasts kept getting better and better as the days went by. Definitely caters to more Asian tastes but still good. All that said there are things to be forewarned about. I had a really nice bathroom and bathtub but there was a bad smell coming from the drain(s?) which I endured the first night. The hotel maintenance and housekeeping worked on it but it wasn’t fully resolved. They, along with the front desk staff, were caring and responsive. It’s important to keep in mind that Palau is tropical so there were bugs in the room. Not a lot but enough to be noticeable.

The staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was decent; good food but the same menu every day with only 1choice of fruit offered (oranges). The hotel was in a quiet location with a small beach area and walkable to a couple of good restaurants (The Barracuda and Elilai). My only complaint is the BEDBUGS. The hotel was notified and said they checked the beds. They responded by saying they didn’t find any in the room or adjacent rooms. Unfortunately, the bedbugs were there and I think it is prudent to leave this review. The money spent on our stay wasn’t worth the hassle.

Palau Hotel

The hotel was conveniently located with several restaurants in walking distance. The staff was helpful. Omelets were made to order at breakfast. However, there was very little fresh fruit, only orange slices everyday (we stayed here twice, before and after our drive boat trip). Kayaks were fun for $20/day with excellent areas to explore. Wi-Fi was good in the room but spotty in the lobby.

We have been returning to this property many times over the past 20 years, The breakfast has declined in selection and taste. Further for people traveling from the US they should take into account the horrible flight schedules and adjust their prices accordingly.

Overpriced for a dated hotel. It was a bit annoying that a Bentley and Rolls Royce blocked the entry to the hotel on a daily basis. The food was mediocre at best and expensive. However, the front desk was helpful and polite.

Lovely hotel surrounded by beautiful waters! The staff are so friendly (as are all the people of Palau we’ve noticed). Food is delicious and varied. We loved kayaking and snorkeling all around; amazing how many fish there are just here in the lagoon. Highly recommend this hotel and will definitely staff here again!!!
