Room Choice Mischaracterizes the View

The water view rooms all face the bay yet the room selections give you an ocean view as an option. You can see the ocean if you go out on the balcony and look to the right. I selected ocean view for a higher rate which is no different than a bay view hence is deceitful.

relaxing, nice rooms, good view, solid food

Palau is a quiet place, with not a ton to do other than dive and relax. This hotel is great for relaxing and has access to diving. Good food. Nice views. Beach area is not big, but is nice and differentiates from other hotels in the area.
