The best part of Palau Plantation Resort is the grounds, covered in swaying palms and tropical flowers. The 20 all-wood units of varying standards won't knock your socks off but have terraces that command superb bay views, and the pool is an instant elixir when it's stifling hot. Facilities include a jacuzzi, a bar and a restaurant serving Palauan and Japanese specialities.
It's in a leafy neighbourhood south of the main street. The hotel offers its guests a free shuttle to the centre between 4pm and 9pm.
