Beautiful grounds and perfect for peaceful rest (but isolated)

4.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed Jan 24, 2025
Absolutely stunning, beautiful grounds. Just know it's a 3-star property - and isolated - without a car it's a little tricky to get around. Front desk gave me a list of restaurants that offer free transport else you need to hire a taxi. Nothing nearby, and it's too hot to walk. No restaurant/bar/jacuzzi open onsite during the day, open in the evening only. Rooms honor traditional Palau culture, loved that. Perfect place to stay after liveaboard dive trip while waiting for 3:00am flight. They got me in early (no extra charge). Lots of steps, definitely not an "accessible" property. Peaceful, gorgeous.
Date of stay: January 2025
Room Tip: Upper level rooms offer a view of the rock islands.

Palau Plantation Resort offers an authentic Pacific island experience, eschewing luxury for a genuine connection with nature. Nestled amidst lush vegetation, the resort immerses guests in the raw beauty of Palau's landscape.
The accommodations are simple yet comfortable, allowing the surrounding environment to take center stage. Wake to the sounds of tropical birds and fall asleep to the gentle atmosphere of a tropical jungle.

A highlight is the Jungle Bar, a rustic gem serving up delectable local fare. Its intriguing interior, adorned with native artifacts and natural materials, perfectly complements the resort's ethos.

For travelers seeking an unadulterated taste of Pacific island life, Palau Plantation Resort provides an unforgettable, nature-centric retreat.

I found this place as a hidden gem when I stayed here 12 years back. And it still feels as exotic, romantic, and rustic as it felt back then. On an island more known for waterfront results and luxury digs, this jungle beauty is a refreshing break thanks to it being nestled amidst a grove of Coconut trees and thick jungle-like greenery

LOCATION: Close to Palau downtown inside a lush green setting. With easy access to the waterfront from the back of the property

DINE + DRINK: The Jungle bar is a super cool place to hang out in the evening and comes with an African jungle lodge bar vibes blended with a funky dive bar. The Restaurant was closed during our stay

ROOM: We stayed in Room PAPAYA COTTAGE, so this review is based on that; VIEW: sweet view of the coconut trees and greenery from a romantic balcony attached to the room; SIZE: Spacious enough for 2 adults and simple baggage; AIR-CON: Perfectly functioning cooler that helped in setting the perfect room temperature; BED: Comfortable bed that played the expected part of putting me to sleep; BATHROOM: Spacious enough and comes with a nice Bathtub and shower; TOILETRIES: Good quality cosmetics

FACILITIES: No gym on site. But there is a sweet swimming pool in the middle of all the greenery!

SERVICE: Friendly staff that took care of all our needs with a smile and made us feel pampered and well taken care of. Special Shout out to LISA who was managing the property for accommodating all our special requests, and LEONARDO who ensured we had a great time at the fabulous Jungle Bar

HOW WIRED YOU WILL BE: Free Medium-speed Wi-Fi that works well all over the property. No Television in the room, pure jungle chilL!

This could potentially be a nice, secluded resort but we found it to be in need of renovating, repair, and improvement. The rooms were ok with small balconies. Mattresses were fairly comfortable but blankets needed to be replaced. Bathrooms were the nicest feature with a nice shower and an array of goodies like travel hairbrushes, toothbrushes, and travel body towels in addition to shampoo, conditioner and body wash. Everything seemed clean. The door locks were very flimsy but security did not seem to be an issue. There was a set of perhaps 25 steep stairs that had to be climbed in order to reach the level where the rooms were located. No easy feat slugging suitcases. Outside, the pool seemed unused and not especially clean looking. There were no chaise lounges, umbrellas, or anything around the pool at all, giving it a closed down, vacant appearance. There were three rattan chairs on a sunporch but they were broken and uncomfortable to sit in. The entire place felt empty to us. We rarely saw or heard any other people there. Special note: this is not a place for anyone with difficulty walking or climbing stairs. The walkways are mostly stone (the bigger ones that are sharp and hurt your feet too much to go barefoot) and rolling luggage on them is going to damage the wheels for sure. It is also a good 15 minute walk from town, which made it inconvenient to grab a meal out (we never ate at the small restaurant there and didn't ever see anyone use it). There is a hotel shuttle which only runs in the late afternoons and evenings. We had friends who stayed at the hotels in town and thought they would have been a better choice.

We chose PPR because it was located outside the centre of town and its proximity to tropical green rather than asphalt and traffic. As it turned out, the place was staffed by the friendliest helpful people. The room and Resort location was perfect for us. Their excellent shuttle system helped out when we wanted to go quickly or further than the centre of town. The suites are very quiet and private with an authentic Palauan atmosphere. Staff went above and beyond when needed and made us sad to leave.

The Plantation Hotel is different to all others in Koror. There’s no marble, shiny silver or guilded decorations - this has a wonderful feel of nature. Views and sounds of the jungle are had from your room, dining and pool. Rooms are basic but beautiful, clean and feel like a jungle cabana, bathrooms are simple (showers are great!), pool & separate jacuzzi are pleasurable in the afternoon sun. The best asset here is the staff. Helpful, talkative, knowledgeable and all provide a service making your stay perfect!
