Remember that you are in Koror. Not tons of choices. There are a few much more expensive places that cater primarily to the Japanese. This hotel is staffed completely with Filipino's, the worker bees of the islands. All very friendly and respectful. The rooms are super clean and basic. A couple channels on the TV and rock hard beds. The... More

We had to stay at West Plaza by the Sea a couple of nights until our rooms at Palau Pacific Resort were available. About all I can say is the place is cheap and the rooms seemed clean. It is a very dark and dreary place to stay so if you are going to have to stay there plan on... More

This hotel isn't fancy, but since we were there to be in the ocean the whole time, it was great. It is convenient to walking downtown or to restaurants. The room was large and kept clean. It was quiet for sleeping. Front desk was helpful and responded quickly to requests. Totally adequate for a stay.

My husband and I stayed here for 2 weeks while on a scuba diving holiday. This property worked out very well for us. We had a deluxe room, which was large and with a kitchenette. Bathroom had a tub & shower, and lots of toiletries were included. We had a sea view, and the location, on a quiet peninsula, was... More

We waited too late to obtain lodging at any of the resorts and were a little worried about what we would find when we got to the WP by the Sea. Fortunately we were pleasantly suprised. While definitely not in the same class as a newer hotel nor a resort, it fit our needs perfectly. The staff was super friendly... More

First, we had requested rooms on the ground floor for accessibility reasons. It is a good thing we did, as the hotel has no passenger elevator. Both rooms were very nice. A safe is available for a $50 deposit, but all the other regular amenities were included. One room had better lighting than the other. The ground floor rooms also... More

Admittedly we are budget travellers, but this hotel was fantastic for your money! In our room we had a double bed, single bed, kitchen and bathroom. The level of cleanliness was extraordinary and the staff were always so friendly and welcoming and willing to help. They loved chatting to us and were so friendly. You also got all the freebies...

Dear traveler, do not stay at this Hotel It is much too expensive for what it is. Before staying here I stayed in the green bay Hotel which cost almost half and was twice as good. The West Plaza by the Sea is very old and located at the end of a run down street with nothing to do around... More

West Plaza by the Sea is a nice hotel with large and clean rooms, a little kitchenette, nice views and good bar for having breakfast or dinner. We stood almost a week and enjoyed the kindness of its staff. Our purpose was a good and quiet place to rest and sleep during our diving breaks, and this hotel has the... More

Stayed here on a diving trip to Palau. This is a cheap and cheerful hotel, the facilities are basic. I'd say this was the Palauan equivalent of a Travelodge but it has a restaurant and bar in the building. The rooms are of a reasonable size, and are clean. The food is excellent at the red rooster restaurant in the... More
