The staff is all incredible. The room was spacious and the bed was comfy, however the hotel is tired & dated. The common areas (hallways, stairwells, pool area) are not cleaned or maintained. Also no lighting in the stairwell. I was disappointed in my selection of hotel.

Superb!

Spent three weeks here in November while doing a bunch of snorkeling and kayaking. The Cove is ideally located for these activities and a wonderful place to stay. Staff is very friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. Breakfast buffet is probably the best I’ve ever experienced! Love the room, very comfortable bed and great rain shower head. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it for anyone visiting Palau.

The hotel overall was okay. The rooms themselves were updated and had most all you could need while the common areas could benefit from a refresh. The breakfast was the real star of the stay. The biggest issue we had was the internet was incredibly slow and made even basic tasks hard to accomplish. It was so slow some days that we could not even load a speed test to document how slow it was performing. If you need to be connected while in Palau, this would not be a good hotel choice as cellular service is already a challenge on the island making wifi vital. The staff however was always nice and the location of the hotel was good. So it really comes down to what you need in a stay.

Would certainly stay here again.

This is a nice, comfortable newer hotel with very polite employees. I would love to have access to a washer and dryer though. Had to pack wet clothes, and our luggage ended up spending an extra night in Palau without us. Oops! One other thing that would be great in the room is a folder with information about the area, like restaurants, tours, etc.
