Reviews and Ratings
My stay at West Plaza Malakal was pretty decent overall. The accommodations were clean and the staff were super friendly. However, the rooms felt a bit tired, and I encountered some noise issues on Friday night from the brewery and club nearby. It's a suitable spot if you're focused on diving, but not ideal if you're looking for a relaxing retreat.
West Plaza Malakal offered a decent stay for my four nights. The location was convenient, being close to various restaurants and the shore, yet my room was quiet and comfortable. However, I felt the rates were a bit high for what was provided, especially with no major amenities like a pool or spa.
I had a quiet and clean stay at West Plaza Malakal for four nights. While my room on the second floor was comfortable and the staff were friendly, the view from my balcony wasn’t much to write home about. The hotel is conveniently located near good restaurants and has a laid-back atmosphere, but some might find the price a bit on the higher side for what’s offered.
West Plaza Malakal offered a good budget value given how expensive things are in Palau, but it definitely has its quirks. While my room was clean and functional for my diving needs, the shower could use some improvement and the dining options left a bit to be desired. Overall, if you're just looking for a place to crash between dives, this hotel fits the bill.
I had a pleasant stay at West Plaza Malakal. While it's not a luxury resort with lots of amenities, it offered a clean, comfortable room at a reasonable price, especially for divers like me. The location was fantastic for accessing restaurants and dive shops, but if you're expecting much in terms of facilities, keep your expectations in check.
