Shell Villa Apartel Resort

My friend like this hotel, very comfortable.

部屋は広いので、広々と使えて良かったです。 空港からホテルへの送迎サービス以外に、ホテルのスタッフに頼んで、コロール中心街にも送迎して頂いたりできました。

정말 친절하시고 잘 대해주셔서 편안하고 즐겁게 보내다 갑니다^^ 정말 감사드려요 ! 덕분에 최고의 여행이었습니다😄

スタッフがとても親切でした。部屋も広くて快適です。 コスパはすごく良く、また利用したいと思います。

Great service! Property manager was very communicative and helped arrange local tours and transportation.

Looking for a resort for your wife and family to hang out in the day while you are out diving then this is not the place. Go to Cove. Looking for a resort that has a poolside bar and big western bar /restaurant /lawn /buffet then go to Cove. HOWEVER, if you want a special secret place that is 1/3 the price of Cove and a great place to sleep while you use your hotel arranged $50 /day car rental then stay here! The hotel is local and smaller so it is a great place to sleep at night with good size breakfast and plenty of free breakfast coffee. It is similar to Cruise Control Diving Center, which Leo, Shell Hotel Manager, helped me find and actually drove me to. I wish I could have given him a big tip! CrCont Diving is Japanese tailored, English speaking, Japanese traveler and Western traveler place that is larger than Sams and Fish&Fins, yet not as well know outside the Japanese tourists. It is less than half the price as the others and all the dive places use the same 500 hp boats and go to German Channel, the Big Hole and Blue Corner etc. (The three biggest sites). How did I find out about it? Leo from Shell Hotel personally took me there! Getting back to Shell, it was great. I lived the clean Balinese interior. There was no mold, no bugs on the floor and modern toilet, shower and sink that are even better than my upscale home in the USA. I have not written a review of a destination hotel before. I did this because I owed travelers this inside only special gem of a place that charges so much less and isn’t on the Google searches. I wish they would put this on Google Maps or the Apple Maps that comes with the iPhone. That way more people would know about it. Yes, they rented me a car for $50 per day including insurance. They took me to Cruise Control Diving. I hadn’t heard of them before either. I did put some pictures of Shell on this review. Again, Shell is not the place you will want to hang out at all day. It is a more local hotel that is a great place to lay your head at night. It is priced lower because it is not a resort. If you want to go to Palau and need a super clean and helpful staff, oh yes, did I say 1/3 the price of a resort :) , then this is the place to stay where you won’t feel ripped off. It is like a B&B but your own and not in someone’s house. In it’s category I highly recommend it 10/10. The staff will give you all the inside knowledge of Palau and take you to locals priced places. Thank you Leo!

The rooms were wonderful. Great beds, gorgeous baths, and comfortable common areas. The main building with the restaurant and bar is still in the process of being refurbished from the Hurricane in 2021 but the staff adapted and delivers breakfast to the individual cabins. The WiFi was great but the cable TV is still under repair.

We visited Palau in August 2023. We stayed in Koror at Shell Villa apartel resort. We definitely recommend this hotel. The rooms are spacious, very clean and equipped with all necessary facilities. Location very good. The transfer from the airport is very short and you can get to the city center on foot. Most importantly, very polite and helpful staff. Open to all guests' needs and requests. If we visit again, we will definitely choose the same hotel.

Was met by the hosts at the airport and given a very intimate welcome, including pointing out landmarks and interests on the ride to the airport. The room was roomy for one, but perfect for two. The common rooms were a nice touch and the breakfast tasty.
