Read moreI've stayed at most of the hotels here in Colonia, Yap and I have to say that O'Keefe's is by far one of my favorites. Each hotel has it's own pro's and con's but O'Keefe's just has a little something extra that draws you back.
It is worth the money to stay here for several reasons.
It is quaint and Cozy. The décor makes you think of southern antiques, as it is based off of the O'Keefe's of Savannah GA. There are only five rooms so you don't have to worry about large crowds and get a more personalized experience. The rooms are nice. Each of the rooms has a private balcony right on the water, equipped with a hose to wash of your potential salt/water items, and chairs. The rooms face east so you can watch the sun rise from your balcony if you wish. Each room has one large bed, its own TV, robe, towels, soap/shampoo, bottled water (2 complimentary others available at the desk for 1$), sink, wifi, coffee maker with coffee, a mini fridge and AC. Also, the showers are decent with plenty of hot water. The staff are always friendly. They are relaxed and welcoming. They have a really fun bar. This is a lesser known spot to have a nice relaxed drink. It has more of a lounge feel and is generally low key. There are several large cushy chairs to sit in. There is also an outside gazebo right on the water where you can see the Mnuw. Just remember its a tropical island so mosquitoes abound after dusk. Drink-wise, they are very accommodating at trying to make whatever you like (I even discovered a new favorite drink of mine here, the Rusty Nail) but supplies are limited on the island. You can order local Manta Ray brews (Gold, Hammerhead and Two Step AKA Light, Dark/Amber and a half and half mix) which comes in large glass bottles. Drinks can be charged to your room. They have a restaurant across the street, Oasis. It does a decent 5 and cheap lunch special. They deliver so you can eat at the bar. You can also order breakfast and have it served in your hotel room on a wooden tray. All can be charged to your room. They have a fun library that feels cozy, like someone's house. It has its own AC so you can curl up with a book and enjoy solitude. It is also a private yet communal space to watch a movie in with a group of friends. It has a good location. It is right on the water and in the heart of Colonia. Manta Ray Resort is right next door for diving and eating on the boat. The sound of the ocean will put you to sleep.
It is a great place to stay or just hang out. Good for couples, very close friends, or...
