We stayed in Caroline Resort during Easter break 2013 for 7 nights (dived for 5 days with FIsh n Fin). Have got to say, this is the best holiday I've been so far. Caroline resort is without doubt, one of the best resort to stay in Palau. It has best of both world - you have privacy of your own... More

you arrive at Carolines and your heart sinks. The access to the hotel is difficult (to say the least) and the reception area looks sad. However, the huts are great. Clean, good breakfast, good TV, air condition that works etc. Yes yes, I agree with most people here that say that value for money is poor. You pay lots and... More

i have stayed in 4-5 different hotels in Palau. My opinion is all of them are I priced for what you get. Said this, Caroline's has great services at the reception, and some amenities like shampoo, coffee in the room, etc. location is good, with a great view to Palau pacific resort villa. Rooms are spacious, bed is ok, quite... More

Nice bungalows with fantastic views from the balcony. Sunset is beautiful everyday. Its a rustic setting and cannot be compared to modern hotels. We were here for a week of diving so only returned in the late afternoons. It serves its purpose as a nice chilled accomodation. Whenever we wanted to head out for meals, the front desk would call...

I have to add my voice to the growing chorus of the disappointed. I went pre-disposed to like it, based on the reviews, but Carolines leaves a lot to be desired and it is <baffling> that it comes in at #2 in Koror. I expected rustic (and it is that) but... 1) our cabin was dark, dank and smelled of... More

The Carolines Resort gets major thumbs up for its authenticity, stellar views (if you're in bungalows 5-8) and overall comfort and outdoor private deck. It's a home away from home. The interior is simple but comfortable enough and staff is always charming and helpful. A major upside besides having your own private bungalow is having access to PPR's (Palau Pacific... More

We stayed at Carolines from October 20-27, 2013. I picked this resort based on Tripadvisor reviews. I would honestly say this is the first time Tripadvisor reviewers have disappointed me. I am hard pressed to understand how this place is rated number 2 in Koror. We spent October 15-20 on Peleliu at Dolphin Bay resort diving with Peleliu divers (I... More

The location and people are so great that it's hard to write about the complaints. However we did express them during our stay and when checking out as well. The bungalows are of uneven quality. Which means that the first part of our vacation, bungalow 4, was as all of the positive reviewers have also stated - rustic charm, natural... More
