Kodėl Žmonės Tai Mėgsta
- Private beach with a stunning house reef full of giant clams
- 64 acres of lush tropical gardens and a saltwater fish pond
- On-site PADI dive center (Splash Palau) with direct boat pickups
Greita apžvalga: It's the best resort in Micronesia, but the 1980s architecture feels a bit tired and the prices are steep for the room quality.
Peržiūrėjo @thezaisers: I treated myself to this stunning villa and it was everything I dreamed of. Having my own private pool and that huge soaking tub felt incredibly luxurious. The peace and quiet here is unmatched. If you need a real escape, this is it.
