Situated southeast of the Philippines, Palau is one of the world’s most renowned scuba diving spots. Boasting mysterious shipwrecks and a wealth of diverse marine life, it’s no wonder this cluster of limestone and volcanic islands is dubbed ‘the Serengeti of the Sea”. The Blue Corner is located less than an hour’s boat ride from most resorts and is undoubtedly Palau’s most popular dive site. This shark-tooth-shaped point extends out into the open ocean and is surrounded by the likes of barracudas and grey reef sharks. Due to Palau’s strong currents, most sites are recommended for more experienced divers. If scuba diving isn’t your thing, you can enjoy a spot of snorkelling at Long Island Park or Nikko Bay. Local operators also offer day trips to the Rock Islands which include kayaking tours. Palau caters for budget, mid-range and luxury stays, with a number of guest houses, hotels and high-end resorts scattered around. The bulk of properties is located on Koror Island.

Staff is very professional and helpful, especially Nien Tai. We were at our tail end of our 5 months tour when we arrived at Koror and didn't plan anything ahead except were booked 3 nites at Parasia.
Nien Tai in no time help us book a kayak and snokering tour, get us a rental car delivered to the hotel within 30mins. Very efficient!

My stay at the Ocean Star Hotel in downtown Koror, close to the T-Dock, was a notably comfortable experience. The standout feature of the hotel was its exceptionally clean and modern rooms. I found the attention to cleanliness and the contemporary design of the rooms to be very welcoming and conducive to a relaxing stay.
The staff at the hotel were particularly commendable for their friendliness and attentiveness. Their approach to service was warm and accommodating, which greatly enhanced the overall atmosphere of my visit. Every request was met with a smile and prompt assistance, making my stay smooth and enjoyable.
The hotel offers breakfast, which I found to be quite satisfying. The quality of the food was good, providing a pleasant start to each day. It was a enjoyable meal that catered well to the start of a busy day exploring Koror.
The location of the hotel is ideal for those looking to be in the heart of the city and near the T-Dock. It serves as a convenient base for various activities and exploring the local area. The proximity to key attractions and ease of access to day trips around Koror was a significant advantage.
In summary, the Ocean Star Hotel provided a good stay with its clean, modern rooms and excellent service. The breakfast was a nice addition to the mornings, and the central location made it easy to enjoy the best of Koror. This hotel is a suitable option for travelers looking for a comfortable and straightforward place to stay in the city.
