Rooms were very spacious. Mine consisted of a large common area with kitchen and couch/Tv and 3 private bedrooms with baths. Would be a great place for a family or group. Staff and management very friendly and helpful. Restaurant was not open for business yet but was served a delicious breakfast and awesome coffee. They rent snorkel gear which you can use at the beach or any number of parks. The water here is beautiful. Would definitely stay here again.

Shell Villa is a home away from home. The rooms are large and very comfortable with a sofa and huge soaker bathtub. The staff are very caring and attentive. They go out of their way to ensyou are happy and have everything you need. The kitchen is well equipped for cooking meals. I felt sad to leave because the staff made me ferl like family.

Amazing stay

The staff are amazing here. Breakfast was great and they will schedule it around your plans for the day (i.e. diving, hiking, kayaking). The staff is always willing to bend over backwards to help accommodate your needs. The rooms are great and very clean. AC works amazing in the rooms. Shared living area with other 2 rooms in each house.

Thank you for an amazing stay!

The staff were very kind, helpful, communicative and went above and beyond. The room was very clean, the pillows were soft and fluffy, and fitting with the name, the sink was a giant clam shell! The staff were happy to provide us will vegetarian breakfast, plenty of extra towels, helped coordinate with the laundry service a friend recommended, and on our last day when we were unable to find an available cab to drive us to Malakal, they drove us themselves so that we would not be late for our kayaking tour. I already recommended this place to a friend that will be staying there later this December.

Incredible Service!

I have been fortunate to travel to many countries and this experience was one of a kind. Importantly, the property itself is fine. It’s a bit dated and, as others have mentioned, about a mile out of the main strip in Koror. If you are an older traveler and hadn’t rented a car, this would be a limiting and probably disqualifying factor. That said, the service that Leo and his staff provided was absolutely top notch. Visiting Palau is not always straightforward. It isn’t as easy to book a tour, a car, etc as it is elsewhere. Leo helped with securing a car, offering suggestions on what to do and where to go, etc. That alone was invaluable to me! The staff provides a hot breakfast every morning around your schedule and is in the process of adding a restaurant later this year. If you don’t want to pay twice the money to stay downtown, this lovely place is definitely worth it!

The rooms were wonderful. Great beds, gorgeous baths, and comfortable common areas. The main building with the restaurant and bar is still in the process of being refurbished from the Hurricane in 2021 but the staff adapted and delivers breakfast to the individual cabins. The WiFi was great but the cable TV is still under repair.

Great staff! Clean facility.

Stayed at Shell Villa for a week in NOV 2017. Appreciated having a kitchen, however, no microwave and the living/kitchen is shared with two other rooms. Three units in one villa! Be aware there may be other guests in your shared space. Nice sitting garden area outside the front door. The AC is turned off when your gone so the unit is always hot when you return. I think it uses more power to cool down the rooms upon return then to simply crank up the temp a bit to use less power. But the great staff made up for inconveniences. A huge thank you to Ms. Rose, Ms. Nelda, Ms. Jeralyn and security guard, Mr. Steve and others that go beyond to ensure your stay is a good one.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
La struttura è composta da casette prefabbricate provviste di una cucina in comune e 3 stanze. Le stanze non sono isolate acusticamente e quindi si percepiscono tutti i rumori esterni e in special modo le convenzioni degli altri ospiti (maggiormente quando sono spiacevolmente maleducati). Nel periodo del nostro soggiorno il ristorante era in ristrutturazione e nella nostra camera si è scardinata la porta del bagno a causa della scarsa manutenzione. Nel complesso decisamente sconsigliato.
