Activities disaster
Pros:

The staff were lovely, it was really helpful taxiing to get cash (more about this in a minute), rooms were clean and fresh, they were always happy to help
the restaurant recommendations were really good!

Cons:

Cash: they do make you aware before this is required but only certain banks will give you max $300USD so take it out before you arrive.

Swimming pool: it is mentioned there isn’t one but the nearest beach is about 10 min + drive away so if you want to be chilling by a pool or relaxing it’s not really ideal

Activities:
I was told before I arrived no need to pre book anything my self as the hotel can do it when we arrive.

the first day after landed the activities were all full.
I was under impression or tour for first day of arrival was booked and confirmed, then when I got up the next day it has been cancelled as activity was full and no one had said. I did ask at breakfast as the others who arrived same time as me had theres was cancelled and they said to wait and see until arrival time.
We were told there was no jelly fish in jelly fish lake and that it is not work booking to see it. People on my tour went to opted for the lake and saw hundreds of jelly fish. Others who went a different day so a loads of jelly fish too.
I struggled to get booked onto tours by front desk as they were all full. I mentioned I had spoke to one of diving companies for a snorkel and she said at front desk they won’t do it, they just to dives. I got booked onto said snorkel tour for the next day by organising myself.
On my last full day I booked a scenic flight (which had been booked by hotel the day I arrived). It was grey in the morning and raining and front desk phoned to ask if I wanted to cancel and I said no (it was my last chance to do it) and she said it had been cancelled because of the weather. I asked if any other flights rest of the day or other companies and she had tried and it was either $600USD or all full or cancelled because of weather. I contacted the company I was supposedly booked with whom had no record of me being booked on at 9am and luckily had space at 11am for me to fly.

Perfect place to stay, short of an expensive resort.
Pros:

If you want reliable western comfort, without paying top dollar for a resort, this is the place. Perfect shower, air conditioner, and internet, and very helpful staff. Great view of the sunsets. In Palau, most of the action is on day trips and you probably shouldn't spend all day in the resort. But if you are looking for a resort for rainy days or long afternoons after your trips, don't expect a glamorous room or a beach. It's about $10 cab ride to a public park with a good beach and really excellent snorkeling by international standards.

It's within walking distance from several good restaurants.

Cons:

You can tell it's an older building in places. But do you really care if the hot showers, internet, and AC work perfectly?

コロールの中心部に近いウォータフロントのホテル
Pros:

綺麗な海が目の前で見ているだけで癒されました。コロールの中心部に10〜15分の徒歩圏内で、食事や買い物には便利なホテルです。また、ホテルの従業員は親切で常に笑顔で接してくれました。

Cons:

経営者が中華系の人と思われ、宿泊客も中華系の人が多いことが理由かもしれませんが、テレビは中国の番組しか放送されていませんでした。パラオのテレビ番組とか欧米のチャンネル、可能であれば日本のテレビ番組も受信できるようにしてほしかった。

Wouldn't stay here again
Pros:

Staff was friendly and we had a working AC and a dehumidifier unit in our room. I liked the shampoo and shower gel they provided.

Cons:

It was difficult to communicate with the employees because of language barriers (Chinese staff), but they did try their best. The hotel is located by the water but everything around was closed or private households. The breakfast was quite lacking and after trying it, we ended up going somewhere else - could not even vouch for their coffee. Showering was a bit annoying as there was nowhere to place the shower head near the tub and it was impossible to not get water everywhere.
