Airai Water Paradise Hotel

Palau


This is an amiable place that will serve as functional headquarters for anyone wishing to explore mysterious Babeldaob island. Old-fashioned character is the score here and it's done quite well. Standout features are the rich mahogany floors, a grand lobby decorated with the island's largest storyboard carving, a balcony restaurant, and a piano bar.

The hotel is mostly geared towards Taiwanese tourists but is welcoming to all guests.
