Palau Hotels Reviews, Tips, Photos

We arrived late at night (around 9:30 PM) and the entire hotel staff + hotel manager were waiting for us. They handed each of us a tropical drink and a cool, damp washcloth. Check in was very easy, quick, and done with the best customer service in mind. Our hotel rooms had a small but comfortable second bed set up for our 13 year old son. Our bed was queen sized. The comforter and pillow were VERY comfortable. The room came equipped with a large flat screen TV with about 10 cable channels as well as a channel specifically centered on the history of Palau and things to do during your visit. The room had hard wood floors which was very convenient because the hotel it's own marina/dock and we weren't afraid to drip in the room. The bathroom had a nice travel kit set up and the stand up shower (BEAUTIFUL) had shampoo, conditioner, and shower gel that smelled fantastic - so you don't need to pack very many toiletries. Our room came with a breakfast every morning - which in some places we've stayed is minimal to say the least. However, the LMH had a huge breakfast buffet available that included the regular fare (eggs, toast, breakfast meats, cereal) but also touched on some local foods as well (fresh fruits from the island, sweet cakes made from the local coconuts, etc) plus much more that changes daily. We had dinner twice at the hotel's restaurant. The selection of the menu was great and they have wonderful chef's there. The bar is stocked with anything you can imagine. We got to know our bartender, Dez, who greeted us by name each night. The views from anywhere in the hotel are great (I will admit our balcony had a view of a dive company but it wasn't horrible). You can take your meals in the air conditioned restaurant, outside on the veranda, or even on the dock - where the tables have umbrellas to block any sun. I would recommend this hotel above any of the other resorts because of the price, customer service, atmosphere, and in large part the hotel manager, William. Definitely 4 stars!!

The LMH has it's own marina, and therefor it's own dock. This is very convenient for visitors who'd like to take boating tours, kayak, snorkel, or just even take a quick swim before dinner. The rooms have a nice island decor (think tropical blues and blonde wood), large wide screen TVs, queen size beds (some in our group had rooms with two twin beds), extra beds that can be set up are also comfortable. The hotel's restaurant has a wide variety of dishes (from hamburgers to lobster) and an excellent breakfast buffet (though you can order off the breakfast menu). And most of all, the entire staff of LMH center around the best customer service we've ever had. Having said all that, I would like to mention that one of the main highlights of our stay in Palau was the manager of the Landmark Marina Hotel, William Tsung. If there was anything - anything - we needed, we just went to William and he would make it happen. For example; we were traveling with a group of 39 people and we ended up having an extra day in Palau. A couple of us had talked about wanting to arrange an all day snorkeling tour. We didn't even know where to begin. William overheard this and within the hour had an entire tour set up for us the next day. He even procured an underwater digital camera/videocam for my husband and I AND he put it on CD/DVD for us by the evening we returned from the tour. I mean...THAT'S GREAT SERVICE!! William went out of his way to make it a memorable stay for each of the 39 people we were traveling with.
