west plaza palau?

7 posts
  1. Hi.

    Any information about this hotel WEST PLAZA BY THE SEA at Koror, Palau?.

    Thanks in advanced.

  2. who are you diving with?

     

    The hotel is a nice clean hotel but is sort of out of the way. They run a chain of 5 hotels. My preference is WP Malakal as it is very near Sams Tours and Neco Marine and right next door to the best restaurant/Bar in Palau, Kramers.

     

    WP Desekal is in the centre of town and central to all of the other restaurants and shopping and close to Fish n Fins.

     

    I would choose one of those two WP over By the Sea.

     

    But any WP you choose will be clean, well serviced and professional

  3. I stayed at the West Plaza..2002.

     

    As Mike said nice and clean (when I was there) but a bit out of the way. Although the lovely Phillipino desk attendant did give me and my mate free DVD's everynight and she cut my toe nails..Don't ask.

     

    Only a short taxi ride though.

     

    Dive safe

  4. It was OK, but the West Plaza Coral Reef was worse.

    Thanks Mike we planing the tryp for this august (we hope to get nice weather) and we should dive with “Fish Ìn Finsâ€...Ah! and maybe we will spent 4 days at Yap at Manta Ray...should i meet you there?

  6. My wife and I stayed on a liveaboard in Palau. The Big Blue Explorer. We saw a handful of day boats at some of the dive sites. From my understanding, these day boats travel quite a bit to get to the dive sites. The islands of Palau are spread out quite a bit. It might be interesting to compare land based vs liveaboard in regards to the sites you are interested in diving as well as cost. The Big Blue was out first live aboard experience, as expected I cannot say enough good things about them.

     

    As for Mike.....

     

    Time with Mike is time well spent. You can't go wrong visiting Manta Ray Bay Hotel.
