We loved staying here. The villa has a shared kitchenet with all the basics you need including microwave, coffee machine, gas hob, fridge freezer, toaster hot / cold water dispenser. The rooms are very spacious with large bathrooms. the space is clean, the beds comfy and the towels fluffy! But what really makes this hotel special are the staff. A guest couldn’t ask for more from Leo and his team. Super friendly and attentive. Josh, was so helpful, always smiling, always checking to see if we were OK. Leo was super helpful, knowledgeable and went out of his way to make sure everything was perfect for us. I had a small medical emergency and I wouldn’t have wanted to be anywhere else, they helped me every step of the way.

We visited Palau in August 2023. We stayed in Koror at Shell Villa apartel resort. We definitely recommend this hotel. The rooms are spacious, very clean and equipped with all necessary facilities. Location very good. The transfer from the airport is very short and you can get to the city center on foot. Most importantly, very polite and helpful staff. Open to all guests' needs and requests. If we visit again, we will definitely choose the same hotel.

Was met by the hosts at the airport and given a very intimate welcome, including pointing out landmarks and interests on the ride to the airport. The room was roomy for one, but perfect for two. The common rooms were a nice touch and the breakfast tasty.

We really enjoyed the spacious and well furnished room & communal area. We did not end up doing much cooking but still nice to hang out there. The staff was incredible helpful and responsive. The only thing was the location which was a bit too far out of town for us, which would have been still ok but for the road works down town causing bit of the traffic.

Looking for a resort for your wife and family to hang out in the day while you are out diving then this is not the place. Go to Cove. Looking for a resort that has a poolside bar and big western bar /restaurant /lawn /buffet then go to Cove.
HOWEVER, if you want a special secret place that is 1/3 the price of Cove and a great place to sleep while you use your hotel arranged $50 /day car rental then stay here! The hotel is local and smaller so it is a great place to sleep at night with good size breakfast and plenty of free breakfast coffee. It is similar to Cruise Control Diving Center, which Leo, Shell Hotel Manager, helped me find and actually drove me to. I wish I could have given him a big tip! CrCont Diving is Japanese tailored, English speaking, Japanese traveler and Western traveler place that is larger than Sams and Fish&Fins, yet not as well know outside the Japanese tourists. It is less than half the price as the others and all the dive places use the same 500 hp boats and go to German Channel, the Big Hole and Blue Corner etc. (The three biggest sites). How did I find out about it? Leo from Shell Hotel personally took me there!
Getting back to Shell, it was great. I lived the clean Balinese interior. There was no mold, no bugs on the floor and modern toilet, shower and sink that are even better than my upscale home in the USA.
I have not written a review of a destination hotel before. I did this because I owed travelers this inside only special gem of a place that charges so much less and isn’t on the Google searches. I wish they would put this on Google Maps or the Apple Maps that comes with the iPhone. That way more people would know about it. Yes, they rented me a car for $50 per day including insurance. They took me to Cruise Control Diving. I hadn’t heard of them before either. I did put some pictures of Shell on this review. Again, Shell is not the place you will want to hang out at all day. It is a more local hotel that is a great place to lay your head at night. It is priced lower because it is not a resort. If you want to go to Palau and need a super clean and helpful staff, oh yes, did I say 1/3 the price of a resort :) , then this is the place to stay where you won’t feel ripped off. It is like a B&B but your own and not in someone’s house. In it’s category I highly recommend it 10/10. The staff will give you all the inside knowledge of Palau and take you to locals priced places. Thank you Leo!

It is the best place in Koror, so don't waste time looking for other locations. By far the best performance, price, and quality

We will never feel alone; Leo, the acting manager, Sylvia, Josh, and Elmer will be your devoting followers during your stay.
