The staff was so helpful, friendly and welcoming. Norie, Gleemie, Ann, Vanessa n the Chef who prepared breakfast menus! Thank you! The beds however were super hard and uncomfortable. Please try to replace mattresses or use memory foam mattresses. I was so happy there was a fully operational bar and restaurant in hotel! That way its safer for visitors, just walk back to your room vice driving after having a few drinks 😅. I will definitely stay here again! Hoping beds will be more comfortable 🙏

Was there only a day coming from a liveaboard trip so did not have chance to explore the entire property but the experience with the staff was superb. Extremely friendly and helpful from before earl checkin where we could leave baggage to getting a car for us and checkout later that night and delivery to the airport. The property needs an overhaul but the room was very comfortable. There are multiple opportunities for water relaxation but the pools need to be maintained better. I would stay here again.

The best thing about this hotel was the staff! They were amazing! Very friendly and helpful, especially Gleerie! I felt very well taken care of staying here (I also extended my stay another night.) The hotel is very close to the airport which is why I wanted to stay here. It’s about 20 minutes from downtown Koror but they have a shuttle service or can call a taxi for you or they can help set you up with a rental car. They can also recommend tour companies. Breakfast is included and it’s pretty good. One morning they packed breakfast for me since I was leaving for a tour early in the morning. Had a great stay!

Although I had booked a room for one night, I couldn't stay there: a bad storm hit the island few days before we arrive and the generator broke down. Nonetheless, the driver was waiting for me at the airport and drove me to the hotel I was rebooked at. It was very good and no surprise with the price. Excellent customer service despite the situation they had to go through. Will definitely give it a try again.

On our last day in Palau, after checking out of the hotel we had stayed at the night before, we checked into Airai Water Paradise Hotel & Spa, which had a free shuttle to the airport as our flight was late at night. The staff were very friendly and helpful, and the food at the restaurant was delicious. It was a better choice than staying around until late at night because it was less tiring and we made the right choice. I would like to stay here again when I have a similar schedule. Although the building is old, it has more value than that.

A comfortable place before a flight

We stayed here after a diving liveaboard for a quick nap and shower before a 2am flight. The hotel is close to the airport and offers a free shuttle so that was nice. The rooms are average but clean and good enough for the few hours we needed it. There is no elevator in the hotel so you will have to carry your bags up the stairs. They offered free breakfast vouchers, although we were not able to take advantage of it. I'm not sure if the amenities were lacking or they were closed because it was a holiday in Palau but many services like the spa were not available. If you're staying in Koror, it's by the airport and not near the city center so something to consider. They do offer a free shuttle to town on set schedule though.

I don’t want to be too negative about this hotel, but it has some very strange quirks. The Airai is a very large hotel, but looks like they only use a few rooms, it is a long way from town, but walkable to a new shopping centre, which has some food options, the strange thing is there are never any customers, this was our third stay, depending on day of the week you get a full resort including a water park virtually to yourself. Positives: The staff are lovely, so friendly and welcoming. The rooms are spacious, with spotlessly clean bed linen and towels. Good air conditioning, plenty of hot water and they provide limitless free drinking water, they also provide a free airport shuttle. The water park is great fun. Negatives: The biggest negative for us was the food, with very limited options and virtually no options for vegetarians. Breakfast is not buffet style as advertised, you don’t even get a choice, it just turns up. The water park is old but very functional, hard concrete sun beds and very little shade, strangely you also have to sign in and out your towels even though you are the only guests in the hotel, also be warned on a Saturday and Sunday they hire out the waterpark to locals for children’s birthdays and events, so the waterpark is mobbed by locals, not good if you are looking for a bit of peace and quiet. They offer a shuttle into town for USD20, it used to be free. I would stay here again, but recommend hiring a car, so you have the option to eat elsewhere.
