very accomodating

The people at the front desk were very helpful. I rented a car from the rental agency located at the hotel, and I did not know what time I would be returning the vehicle. The hotel was willing to put the credit card charge on its final bill for me. The drivers who picked me up at and took me to the airport were on time. The Internet/wi-fi when I was there worked fine. The desk where one can do paperwork could use an electrical outlet. Hotel location is quiet. And there is an elevator that can be used to move your luggage to the upper floors.

It was okay but I also was killed staying here

The view was nice and I got my exercise for sure. Be aware there is no elevator in this hotel. I was located on the 3rd floor. The air condition was working great which felt good because it is extremely humid in Palau. There is a restaurant on the second floor "Red Rooster". The food is good and prices are descent. Only things they run out of hash browns the second day. On my last day, the cleaning staff left the floor in the bathroom wet so I slipped on the floor and injured my knee so bad I had to use a wheelchair when I left Palau. Also I had to rent a cable box because there was only 1 channel on the TV I did not want to watch TV in the lobby because there was always a Palauan Man sleeping on the couch. When using the cablebox no access to ABC, CBS or NBC but the filipinio channels are there so be for the staff who is about 99% of who I saw. Never found out if the guy sleeping the couch was a staff member. Creepy

A week in Palau - West Plaza Hotel By-the-Sea.

All the essentials are there, including hot shower, daily room service, and wifi (the last for a price, and very slow - a country-wide problem). Outdoor tables/chairs with a view. Very good restaurant attached.

Customer Responsive

We arrived late one evening. I had selected the hotel for what appeared to be proximity to downtown. The next morning it was obvious that his was not the case. My error. I went to the desk to see if we could be relocated to West Plaza's sister property in the downtown area. The clerk talked to the Manager and my request was granted. This was done with no difficulty at all. My commendation for a 5 Hotel Staff rating applies across the board for the West Plaza propoerties in Koror.

Convenient and clean hotel

Very clean and friendly staff. Not a high end place, but has great view on the bay side. Great location and walking distance from town without being in the middle of town. Sams tours is a great place to go with on your tours and the massage place called Health Services Center- Rose is the owner and they will pick you up and drop you off for a $25 an hour message. Also, internet is not good, but then you are not going to Palau to be on the internet, so don't bother to get a internet prepaid card, it does not work 99% of the time. Heads up, there is a 12% tax on the room, and a $50 departure tax as well as a $50 permit fee to go out to the rock islands, which you will want to do, marine life is amazing and the place is very clean. Locals are very friendly and they are very conscientious of their environment.

Just what we needed

While the hotel was nothing special, the room was quite spacious and very clean. I was particularly pleased to step out onto my balcony and see a neighborhood basketball court lit at night. I went down there and joined the game, which was an excellent way to work up some fatigue for my 19 hour journey home starting at 2AM. It was perfect for what we needed having come off of a live aboard dive boat earlier in the day. However, having to schlep our scuba gear in and out of their luggage "elevator" was a bit of a hassle.

First trip to Palau

This is my first trip with my companion. Everyone was friendly and willing to help. Palau is clean. Rock Island is breath taking. Dolphin city, museum, aquarium, and just the drive around the island was wonderful. I came mainly to fish and I was disappointed that it could only be done on a private boat($250 for the day) or a paid charter tour ($200 per person). We could not fish with rod and reel elsewhere because we were not Palauans. It was permissible provided we had a Palauan friend to fish with or accompany us while fishing. This place was a great get away from all the business of life.
