Palau Hotels

The Airai Water Paradise was overall a strong "OK". The hotel is very close to the airport which can be a plus, but it is rather removed from the rest of the happenings around the islands. The hotel features a nice pool with some water slides, wait staff will bring you drinks, etc. If you like hanging out at the hotel and looking at the jungle around you, it is pretty good. The free breakfast is a nice thing too, always good to start the day with a decent breakfast. Chinese guests will make up the majority of the people you will encounter here. If, like me, you want to spend time diving and exploring, rent a car. The staff can assist you with that. The hotel is mostly wood flooring, it is loud and echos when other guest come and go around you. The staff was always great. There are NO elevators and the stairs are steep. If you have bad knees, beware. TV channels in room are very limited and do not match the channels showing in the lobby.

The room was spacious with a view over looking the beach. United flights from Palau to Guam (gateway to Tokyo) leave a little after midnight. We arranged a late checkout of 6:00PM by paying half the daily rate - giving us a place to shower after being in the ocean and a place to relax before the late flight.

Very friendly and helpful staff who helped with car hire and airport transfers. The hotel rooms are simple but clean and comfortable with good a/c. Good kitchen facilities for self catering. A good base for divers who need a reasonably priced motel and not a luxury beach resort
