This was our first trip to Palau and we stayed 10 days and dove with Sam's Tours. Palau is such a tropical paradise...a step down from the overcrowded Oahu, Hawaii and Guam. The Palauan are very friendly people that will bend over backwards to show you their island. We spent the entire week scuba diving and did a day long... More

Filthy rooms, poor service, lumpy hard pillow, mould all over bathrooms and in a/c. I was bumped from Sea Passion due to travel agent mess up and regret trusting my travel agent. Internet is spotty, at cost, and only in the lobby.

I stayed for 5 nights this month...keep in mind, my stay was after a few days at Sea Passion and after a week on the Aggressor. It was a step down from either, but proportionately cheaper. For the price, I think a reasonably good place to stay. I ate breakfast 3 times and dinner twice at the adjacent Palm Bay... More

It is a bit too far from downtown. Seems nice place to go diving, but the diving tours usually finish before evening. We should have take a taxi to the downtown at 7USD oneway. Hotel staff are helpful and friendly.

We stayed at this hotel 2 times. The first time was in April 2010 and this time was April 2012. We were quite happy both times. The rooms and bathroom are clean and comfortable. They have good size rooms. The staff couldn't be friendlier. They got us a rent-a-car when we asked and they also made a couple of other... More

First, the location of West Plaza Malakal makes it very convenient when you dive with Sams Tours, as you can walk there in 10 minutes. Second, you are right next to the port where the boat to Peleliu departures from, which is a must for divers to go to. Third, you have Palm Bay Bistro Restaurant in front of the... More

We stayed here for one night, because the Sea Passion Hotel was fully booked on our last day. The West Plaza Malakal is close to the port of the public boat to Peleliu. Some would say this is a budget hotel. However the nightly rates are not much lower than the rates of Sea Passion Hotel. The rooms are noisy,... More

My husband and I just returned from 2 weeks in Palau. We stayed in the Palau Royal Resort (PRR) for the first 2 nights of our stay (it was an air/hotel package) then moved to the West Plaza Malakal for the remainder of our stay. The PRR had great amenities and very polite staff, sometimes almost to an irritating point.... More
