Blue Ocean View Hotel — Hotel in Koror

I had mixed feelings about this hotel, here are the pros and cons:||||Pros:||1. Nice views of the Rock Islands and the docks.||2. Housekeeping works hard at keeping things tidy.||3. Modern good quality flat screen TV (no premium channels).||4. Purified water in water coolers.||5. Very sunny rooms.||6. Nice balconies with drying racks.||||Cons:||1.

I was delighted with choosing the Blue Ocean View hotel in Palau. True to the descriptions the generous size room had a balcony and lovely view of the water and Rock Islands. There was the large flat panel TV and excellent reception. Breakfast was great and I appreciated the variety between traditional western styles and the Korean breakfast on alternate mornings. ||||The location of the hotel was convenient and within walking distance were several stores where we could get provisions such as ice and drinks. Plus there are several eating places nearby. ||||The hotel is well worth the cost which is great value for money. I highly...
