Fantastic location on the beach and close to town. You still need a car to get around. Some restaurants offer a shuttle otherwise you are on your own. Hotel was a bit tired looking, but had excellent food options. Fantastic outdoor bar with excellent staff. Spa was worth a visit to relax. Snorkelling straight off the beach. I’d stay here again.

Excellent stay. Our room was near the pool. Close to everything. Snorkeling from the beach was great.

I spent nine nights there and the place grew on me day by day due to the high quality of service and the people working there. The breakfast was always a highlight and Heather managed the bar very well, even during busy times. All in all this place is a gem and my highlight was waking up on an ocean front room and going for a snorkel before breakfast. I hope to be back sometime soon again!

it's dated premium resort from 80's, but the location is the best of the entire country, with direct access to snorkeling spots from the beach, and many giant clams near the hotel.

Very friendly staff. Calm water beach. All white wines more than 4 yrs old and turning. First upscale resort in a series of many we've stayed at to charge for kayak and SUP use.

Employees were rude

The rooms are well appointed and spacious. The staff is excellent. The location is a big selling point. The resort has an entire bay and coral reef to themselves. The food at the main eatery was also great.

The staff and beach front are the best.

Outstanding location, the best resort in Micronesia. It is showing its age a bit, but is still a fabulous place to stay with great staff and a spectacular setting. Most highly recommended and deserving of 5 stars!

The PPR is spectacularly beautiful place to stay with wonderful friendly staff. The facility can appear 'tired' to those used to luxury hotels as they struggle to keep up with maintenance of a largely wooden sprawling facility in a very humid tropical environment. It remains very nice and is by far the best place to stay in all of Micronesia. We always ask for an upstairs room with the lofted bai style ceilings. We most highly recommend the PPR!

Great resort, but couldn't give it five stars. There were several things around the hotel and our room that needed repair. I still highly recommend this resort for anyone coming to Palau.

The resort's attempt to milk its past glory is evident in its nickel-and-diming approach, charging for even basic snorkeling gear. Despite boasting about its reef, the reality falls flat. From the absence of shark heads in their signature cocktail to the dismal breakfast spread, it's clear they're prioritizing profit over quality. With a dwindling guest count, it's a glaring sign of their downward spiral. Despite friendly service staff, their refusal to accommodate guests, hiding behind rigid policies, speaks volumes. Insisting on a 3pm check-in despite low occupancy is just another indicator of their downward spiral. Don't waste your money on this disappointment.

Stunning

This property and location was amazing! Beach was amazing, snorkeling was great; breakfast was delicious; No complaints and can't wait to return in the future!

Great location and amenities

This is a beautiful property. The beach is fantastic - if you're a snorkeler, the reef is pretty amazing! We were on a boat and went by the Palau Royal and would recommend this beach over theirs as it's on a busy marina and much smaller. The food is good, but the menu is a bit odd. It could use some adjustments. Service is overall friendly, but not consistent. Some little tweaks and this hotel could be amazing, but I would still recommend it for anyone looking for a beautiful, secluded resort.

Beautiful setting, from the gardens to the beach. Good snorkeling and water sports right from their beach. I would stay here anytime. Food and service are also excellent.
