Sea Passion Hotel

“As close to the perfect location possible”

We loved our stay here. The hotel is the perfect size, it has every facility you’d need but it’s not too large that the private beach is inundated with guests.

We loved our stay here. The hotel is the perfect size, it has every facility you’d need but it’s not too large that the private beach is inundated with guests. The location is second to none and the hotel staff are fantastic. There are a lot of mixed reviews about the breakfast buffet, best way to put it is that it’s a somewhat small selection but the dishes rotate every morning thus there are always new options and the, made to order, eggs are always great. For western guests, the hotel is definitely primarily visited by Chinese travellers as are most hotels in Palau. It’s an absolute non issue. We were told the hotel was fully booked yet we were amazed to find that we had the beach to ourselves most afternoons after our diving trip or island exploring. Blessed to have stayed here.

“Personnel exceptionnel”

Nous mettons la note Très bien uniquement pour tout le personnel exceptionnel, serviable, professionnel, toujours souriant. Nous avions choisi cet hôtel (en bordure de route et pas très joli) pour son prix moins cher que le Royal resort qui avait notre préférence mais en restant deux jours en moins… Plus

Nous mettons la note Très bien uniquement pour tout le personnel exceptionnel, serviable, professionnel, toujours souriant. Nous avions choisi cet hôtel (en bordure de route et pas très joli) pour son prix moins cher que le Royal resort qui avait notre préférence mais en restant deux jours en moins cela aurait été équivalent (car 10 jours au Sea passion c'est long si l'on ne fait pas de sorties journalières). La petite plage privée est très jolie et très bien entretenue.. comme tout l'hôtel d'une propreté irréprochable..par contre le snorkeling devant la plage est assez décevant,les coraux sont morts. Notre arrivée à l'aéroport a été perturbée car la navette réservée par mail n'était là et la personne qui s'est présentée à nous comme taxi nous a facturé 80$ pour aller au Sea Passion. Le petit déjeuner est uniquement chinois. Pas de viennoiseries.

“Great to be back in Palau”

A quiet, welcoming hotel with a spectacular private beach and great aesthetics. Room storage and some dining aspects need improvement, the location and sea view make it a highly worthwhile stay.

A quiet, welcoming hotel with a spectacular private beach and great aesthetics. Room storage and some dining aspects need improvement, the location and sea view make it a highly worthwhile stay. Location & Vibe • Prime Location: The hotel boasts a great location with its own private beach surrounded by crystal-clear water and an abundance of coral just offshore. • Atmosphere: Only four stories high, the hotel never felt crowded. • Noise: Despite being on the main road, there was no road noise in the third-floor room at the back. It was quiet, with "heaps of birdsong" every morning. • Cleanliness: The beach is immaculate, with staff constantly clearing debris. Ocean stewardship by the locals is highly commendable. 🏠 Room Experience • Aesthetics: Had a sea view room with nice aesthetics that felt welcoming and looked recently updated. • Comfort: The bed was spacious and comfy. o Drawback: Pillows were too flat. • Amenities: Included both a ceiling fan and AC, plus a smart TV with apps (could not connect to local stations). • Bathroom: Plenty roomy with a brilliant hot shower and fresh towels changed daily. • Size & Storage: Room size great and very adequate without feeling cramped. o Drawback: Not enough storage for a week's stay, making it impossible to unpack two suitcases. 🍽️ Food & Dining • On-site Coffee Shop: Located at the front, offering delicious cakes and gifts. • Breakfast Buffet (Included): Hit and miss and changed daily, with nothing exceptional. o Highlights: Egg station was a bonus (everything made fresh). Good bread options, including a favorite: purple yam and cheese. o Lowlights: Fruit supplied was mostly oranges (had to ask for bananas). There was only one domestic toaster, with only one side working properly. 🚶 Getting Around & Services • Walk to Town: About 20 minutes into the town center. The location being "a little way out" contributed to the quiet atmosphere. • Transport Options: o Local Bus: Runs about every hour with a flat rate of $1 (last run around 3 pm). o Taxi: The front desk can arrange a taxi. • Staff: Mostly very helpful and always willing to organise transport and tours, though they occasionally struggled with the Aussie accent. o Improvement: Staff should promote tours better; there were no brochures on display without asking. 🏊 Hotel Facilities & Improvements • Pool/Beach Area: Never felt too busy, but the pool area "could use some updating and tidying up." o Improvement: A few more deck chairs on the beach and pool surrounds are needed. • Dive Shop (Unpromoted): The hotel owners/staff do not promote the in-house dive shop or its facilities (e.g. no mention of snorkelling gear hire). o Guests from US, Canada, NZ, and Australia were steered to other nearby operators (Fish and Fins, Neco, Sams Tours) despite Chinese in-house guests using the dive shop regularly. This is seen as a missed revenue opportunity and inconvenience for guests.

“Very Pleasant Stay.”

We had a very nice room on the top floor. There were nice views over the extremely clear water. One of the local tour companies goes out of the docks here, so it is very convenient. The water is so clean, one can snorkel in the water around the hotel. There is a plane wreck just off shore! Br… Plus

The water is so clean, one can snorkel in the water around the hotel. There is a plane wreck just off shore! Breakfast buffet was ok and changed daily. Eggs are cooked to order. Staff were all very pleasant.
