Palau Beach Bungalows

Palau


Tucked away in a lush garden, this venture with a definite family-run feel offers an affordable lagoonside tropical oasis. The five bungalows are fairly ramshackle but clean and serviceable, and have private bathrooms (cold water only). Across the road, the beach offers excellent sunbathing opportunities, but is not that great for swimming due to the shallow water and coral formations.

Guests can order a meal for about US$10. Airport transfers cost US$30 per car. Wi-fi access is available at the Melekeok State Office, which is just next door.
