In all honesty, much better than we had expected! We've stayed in all categories of hotels-5-star and lower. This one is one of the best-based upon a balanced cost performance view. Located in a somewhat rustic jungle like setting. Majestic view of the Philippine sea/rock islands(from bungalow 4). Unbeatable sunset! Mike, Carmen, Nelson (he's a great singer), Maika, Robert, and everyone else (including the occasional balcony gecko) made our trip a true pleasure-never to be forgotten. When we had a request, it was taken care of without exception. Breakfast on the balcony was a huge plus. Access to PPR (Club-Med style resort) is a huge bonus; however, in my opinion they are an overpriced resort. I could go on and on, but rather I recommend you check out other comments from other visitors at tripadvisor.com about this splendid, special resort.

Hey Guys, the days we were able to spend in this nice bangalow were just overwhelming.
What a view, what a breakfast, what a smile each morning and what helpfull staff
you have! Thank you very much, especially Mike...you were just wonderful. Please
keep on doing the good work!

Our bungalow was just as advertised -- a beautifully crafted wood building that
recalled a traditional Palauan meeting-house but included all modern conveniences.
Each evening we pre-ordered breakfast, and each morning their charming and efficient
staff served us on our private balcony while we enjoyed a spectacular view of
the Philippine Sea and Rock Islands. Guest privileges at the nearby Palau Pacific
Resort allowed us to enjoy the beautiful beach at no extra cost.

Truly Paradise! We stayed for 3 weeks in bungalow 5 in this lovely small resort.
We enjoyed staying her. The staff was very friendly and helpful with a smile!
A perfect location, breathtaking views, mouthwatering breakfast on your own porch
and colorful sunsets. A place we will never forget. Zenie, Carmen, Eustasia,

Hello, everyone! My older daughter and I made it home Sunday night safely. I
had to let you all know just how much we appreciated the quality of our stay
at Caroline's Resort. Everyone was gracious, helpful, and went out of their way
take very good care of us and make our stay memorable. You all have certainly
mastered the art of providing quality service and attention to details with fresh
flowers daily, helpful hints and help with transportation and other amenities
to numerous to mention. I certainly hope I can return and see all of you again
in the future. Thanks for being so accommodating!

To Zenie & her fantastic staff!!
THANK YOU so much for your warm hospitality & generosity during our honeymoon.
We truly were able to relax in your comfortable bungalows, and was always greeted
with a smile by you & your staff! A special "thank you" goes out to Carmen, Nelson,
Mike & Eustacia! They helped to make our stay a memorable one! But the biggest
thank you goes to you Zenie for also remembering Danny's birthday & surprising
him with a cake! We hope to be back someday soon, but till then are very happy
that we stayed at Caroline's resort, and wouldn't hesitate to stay there in the
future. Hoping this finds you well! Best Wishes,

in Palau. Everything has been more than perfect. Thanks again to your precious

We are now back in Germany from our wonderful vacation. Itís only been five weeks
but we already miss the nature, the landscape and the lovely people in Palau.
It was so amazing, it's like a wonderful paradise there. Zenie and her staff
were always there to help, and made our trip filled with happiness. Everyone
at the Carolines Resort are so helpful and kind, we think it's the best place
to stay when visiting Palau.

We stayed at the Carolines resort for 5 days and we absolutely LOVED it!!! We
told Zenie that it was a special trip for us, being one week before our wedding.
When we arrived in our Bungalow #8, there was a wonderful wedding cake!!! What
a lovely surprise!! The staff is fantastic, very helpful and always smiling.
The location is to die for. This is a real piece of PARADISE!!! We will definitely
stay at the Carolines Resort when we come back to Palau.!!

Now we are back again in our country Switzerland, but in our thought we are still
in Palau. Above all we liked your lovely resort with the friendly staff and the
perfect organised shuttle service. We did also find the combination with the
Palau Pacific Resort very pleasant: to stay in a room with a marvelous view and
enjoy the beach at the PPR, even if we was the most time on diving with Sam's
Tours, we mean the best diving center in Palau. So we hope the come back again
as soon as possible.

Dear Zenie and staff, Thank you for everything during my and my family's stay
at your bungalow. It was a great pleasure for us to return to Carolines in about
3 years. And we could have a very wonderful vacation in Palau again. Beautiful
bungalow, wonderful spectacle, delicious breakfast, beautiful flowers, kind and
excellent staff...... I will choose your bungalow at the next vacation. Hope
to see you again soon!

We have just returned from a 2 week stay at Carolines and we already want to

on the hill. The staff is excellent. They help with everything and are super
friendly. We recommend Carolines to everybody. Thanks again for making our vacation
fantastic!

Palau was amazing and our stay at the Carolines Resort most memorable! Fantastic
views from our comfortable bungalow (#4), lovely breakfast on our balcony and
the impeccable service from everyone at the Resort combined to make our stay
wonderful. A great big thank you to Zenie who has to be the most gracious hostess
I have ever encountered in the hospitality industry - she went above and beyond
to make sure we had a great time in Palau.

Hi again Zenie, We are now back home after spending a lovely few days in Hawaii
(though we preferred Palau !!!). I've tried 3 times to add a report in your Guest
Book but it tells me that the security code is not recognised though I'm sure
I'm typing the correct one. I don't know if you can add it direct ?? This is
what I wanted to say: "We've just got back from our holiday to Palau and wanted
to back up what everybody has said about Zenie and the resort. We had such a
lovely time staying there. We truly enjoyed our breakfast on the balcony (one
of our fav moments of the day) and Zenie could not have been more helpful. She
was so thoughtful and saved us so much money by advising us to book tours early
before the prices went up. The Carolines was far more intimate than the Pacific
Palau Resort and since you can access all of PPR's facilities free of charge
by staying at Carolines anyway, you get the best of both worlds and much better
value for money. Hey! :) We miss Palau terribly. Everybody was sooo welcoming
and it's one of THE most beautiful places I have ever seen (and I've visited
52 countries by now). My friends back home who saw my pictures were speechless
- they had no idea such an awe-inspiring place *really* existed. You will love
staying at Carolines, it really felt like being 'at home' right from the start.
Thanks again Zenie for ALL you did for us, we appreciate it more than words can
say. Take good care.
We miss you ! Sylvie & Roberto". Lots of Love and we DO miss you ! :))) Sylvie

I absolutely loved staying here. The service was friendly and helpful and the
staff was welcoming. Our bungalow (#7) was cozy and the view was absolutely gorgeous.
If you're a fan of birds and bird watching, there was an endless parade of species
viewed easily from our balcony. I can't imagine staying anywhere else on Palau.
Thanks to all at the Carolines Resort and I hope to be back soon!

The Carolines is the only place to stay while in Koror! Not only are Zenie and
her staff fantastic, but the connections that they have with other businesses
are first rate as well. My husband and I stayed six nights at the Carolines for
our honeymoon and loved the whole experience. Zenie and Michael were always available
to help coordinate dive tours, rental cars, airline reservations and travel to
Peleliu and Carp Islands. Breakfasts are amazing and served promptly on your
balcony. And the sunset view from there is unbeatable as well. The hospitality
of the staff is truly a high point of this operation - and they know all the
great place to eat that are not in your Lonely Planet guidebook. Thank you everyone,
especially Manang Zenie,for a wonderful vacation!! We miss Palau!! Aloha,

We would like to add our hearty endorsements to all the positive comments about
this lovely resort. Zenie and her staff are really caring, the bungalows are
lovely, and the view from our terrace was truly amazing. We wish we were back
there now! This is definitely the nicest hotel in Palau.

My husband and I returned to Palau for the third time in September and stayed
at The Carolines for the second time. We enjoy the resort so much we would not
consider ever staying anywhere else. Zenie and her staff are the BEST!!! Zenie,
thank you again for a wonderful stay and we'll see you next year!
Diana and Ray Bullion - October 2008
We stayed at the Carolines for our honeymoon in July. We had the best time and
absolutely loved the hotel. Zenie picked us up at the airport and set up our
whole schedule including diving, kayaking, snorkeling, renting a car... everything.
The service was amazing. Zenie and her staff served us breakfast every morning
on our terrace and took care of everything else we needed. After seeing all the
other hotels on the island, we were sure we made the best choice. To have the
beautiful view and feel like you're part of nature... were definite pluses. Plus,
you have access to the Palau Pacific... but still get the feeling of being tucked
away at the Carolines. The view, the service, the bungalow... all made for an
amazing stay. Thank you Zenie!

It has been our first time in Palau and we must say that it is a real paradise!
Caroline is the perfect place were to rest and relax after a day full of activities,
first of all diving. Get dinner at Caroline is the right way to appreciate a
wonderful cuisine in front ao a stunning sunset. The whole staff is so kind,
gentle and available that it is impossible to commence a new day without a smile.

For our first visit to Palau we were looking a nice and quite accommodation and
we were totally satisfied with Carolines Resort. Our wooden bungalow was very
nice and spacious with a great view on the sea. It was lovely to have our breakfast
on the veranda looking at the ocean! Zenie, the manager, was incredibly kind
and helpful and she helped us to organize any kind of activity during our stay.
Palau is simply wonderful and Carolines was the perfect place to enjoy the island.
Many thanks!

Last May, me and my husband visited Palau for the first time and we will absolutely
visit it again. It's like paradise, the underwater world is fenominal and also
the scenery is like magic. Caroline's Resort makes you visit complete. The people
who work there are most friendly and the cabins are beautiful with an amazing
view. We travelled around the world for three months, but our visit at Palau
and Caroline's was the best!

My wife and i spent 5 nights at The Carolines Resort in March. The place is fantastic.
The views are wonderful, the breakfasts and dinners on the balcony delicious
and all of the staff were so helpful and kind. Zenie was so helpful with regards
the tours we went on. If you are thinking of visiting beautiful Palau, then this
is the place to stay.

We had such a great and lovely time in Palau and especially at The Carolines.
We loved having breakfast on "our" veranda. The view was amazing. After a "busy" day
diving we enjoyed the quite and peaceful location of our bungalow. Special thanks
to the friendly staff. We hope to be back one day.

Many thanks to Zenie and her staff for a wonderful stay at Carolines. The resort
is a relaxing and lovely spot. After active days touring the gorgeous islands
of Palau it was always a treat to come back to our comfortable bungalow in the
evening. The proximity to the beach is a real plus,and Zenie's knowledge of tour
operators on Palau is incredibly helpful. Best wishes to the Carolines team for
a successful 2008!

time of our lives. The bungalow was private, cozy, and had the most spectacular
views on the island! The staff goes far and beyond to make sure you feel at home.
They provide impecible service and make sure all your needs are met. We hope
to return to Palau soon and when we do---we will defninitely be staying at Caroline's
again! Thank you to all the staff! Best wishes for the fall season!

My husband and I spent 5 glorious days at Carolines in early September. This
was our second time to Palau, the first being on a live aboard. This time we
wanted to experience a land based vacation and we were not disappointed. When
looking to book our accomodations we came across The Carolines and thought is
looked perfect - and it was. The Carolines is magical. It's everything described
on the website and more. I highly recomend to anyone to stay at the Carolines.
My husband and I have already decided, next time is for 2 weeks!!!

This August (2007) me and my girlfriend went to Palau. We had already been two
weeks in the Philippines, so going to Palau was kind of spontaneous. Luckily
we found Carolines. The resort definitely has a more native feel than the other
resorts nearby, with their fantastic cottages located perfectly on the hillside.
The crew (Jimmy, Nelson and in particular Shanie) treated us like royalty. Their
easy going made us feel very much welcome. Even though the resort doesn't have
its own beach or pool, the short walk is not a problem. Compared to other resorts
on the islands, you really get your money worth. Our one week at the resort was
amazing and we would love to come back one day. Thank you!

Carolines was everything we had hoped for and more. We were there 10 days in
May and after talking with several other people who stayed in Palau at other
places, we knew we had made the right choice with Carolines. Even those who stayed
at the large fancy resorts envied us--some had tried to book at Carolines but
they were full at the time. Every morning we had breakfast delivered to our room
and enjoyed it on our open porch looking out over the ocean. Delicious, hot and
the plate was a banana leaf. For dinner the driver was always available to take
us into town and pick us up again--no problems there. Our room was the best!
#8 at the top, a little further to walk but well worth it. The pictures of the
room here on the web site don't really do it justice--mahogony throughout and
very spacious. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Carolines to anyone, just email
us for more info--glad to share our pleasant experiences and make recommendations
on what to do, where to eat, etc in Palau. (Necco is the best for diving! Best
boats, best lunches, best service.)

Hello everybody at Carolines! We spent a bit more than a week at Carolines in
Febrary. There is not much to add to all the previous entries in this guestbook,
because you are simply great! We loved our stay at your resort so much and when

Carolines is a wonderful place. My girlfriend and I stayed for 8 nights over
New Years. Everything was perfect - the bungalows are well-built and well-maintained,
the views are the best in Palau, free access to the beach/facilities at PPR nice
on non-dive days, breakfast & the occasional dinner on the private balcony a
great way to start and end the day, and, most of all, Zenie and the staff at
Carolines were amazing. Thanks Zenie - we wish we were still there!

Greetings from Texas to all at Carolines Bit of Heaven, My wife Mary and I treated
ourselves to the best of Xmas gifts with one week each in Palau and Yap and have
never been more welcome, better treated, or enjoyed a stay more. Our first trip
to the far Pacific began with a welcome sign at the Palau Airport, a lei, and
a smile that set the tone for our stay. The lodging was beautiful, the service
was excellent, and, I must admit, breakfast on the patio of our cabin was a treat
I could get very very used to. Carolines is not a big resort but a small location
with a big heart, great access to Pacific Palau Resort's beach and snorkeling,
and a sincere commitment to make sure all of a travelers needs are met, if not
exceeded. I would (I will) definitely go back again to the Carolines

Aloha to Zenie and all the beautiful staff at the Carolines! I had an amazing
time in Palau and it was especially enhanced by staying in this quiet and peaceful
place. The room had a special warmth with gorgeous views of the water and hillside.
And after a day of exploring it was always soothing to know I was returning to
a more remote bungalow with kind people to help if I was in need of anything.
I would definitely recommend this resort, as it is small and quiet with loving
hosts! Aloha from O'ahu!!! Thank you!!!!

Thanks to all at Carolines. We had an incredible stay (September 8 to the 10th,
then September 17th to the 22nd). Thanks to Zeni, Apple, Roanne, Nelson and the
rest of the staff for making our stay so special. We were in Cottage #7. The
accommodations were clean and comfortable, the view was breathtaking and the

Lots of thanks to Zenie, Nelson and the others at the Carolines Resort. We had
a wonderful 5-day vacation on Palau and would love to come back. Staying in the
spacious and private family bungalow at the resort was very comfortable with
our two small children of 3 and 1?. Swimming pool and beach were only a two minute
drive away and we could easily include a trip to the beach into every days program.
Having breakfast on the balcony of our bungalow was very special indeed!

Through the help of a good friend John DeVivo, we had the opportunity to stay
at the Carolines Resort and ABSOLULELTY FELL IN LOVE with the place. Palau is
naturally spectacular, but to have a place that compliments the beautiful surrounding
with awesome panoramic view of the rock islands was just beyond imagination.
The bungalows with the friendly staff and excellent service was certainly an
added bonus to an amazing 3 nights. Please pass on our deepest gratitude to Ngira
John and to the excellent crew at the resort. We hope on visiting again soon
and enjoying the place for a longer period of time. Kmal mesulang!

Alli, Thank you Zenie and everyone at The Carolines Resort for your kindness
during my stay in Belau. Your assistance was appreciated when I had my medical
problems. It was nice to have some friendly faces who were concerned about my
condition to get me through, being so far from home. RoAnne was so attentive
and ready to handle requests for nextday plans. The breakfasts were great and
a good way to start the day. Being able to visit the Palau Pacific Resort (PPR)
was a trip saver for me. The snorkeling was very nice. It was so nice for Crazy
Jimmy to show me some of the sights of town on his off duty time, becase I was
not able to get out on my own. Thanks again for all of your help. Hopefully someday
I can come back to have my vacation.

Zenie, We were so impressed with how much effort you guys put into making our
stay in Palau so fun. From picking us up at the airport, to incredible breakfasts
on our porch served on banana leaves, to a well stocked fridge in the room, to
friendly Palauans everywhere, our whole stay was just incredible. We loved having
the PPR facilities nearby to use, but we loved being able to come "home" to a
quieter, more relaxed bungalow at the Carolines. Thank you so much for all your
kindness. You folks are the best. I'm sorry Palau is so far away - we'd love
to come back soon!!!

After telling a friend about Palau and how we spent our Aug. 1997 honeymoon in
Micronesia, I came across your site. I was so excited to The Carolines Resort,
it brought back such amazing memories. I was showing her where we stayed, what
we did all I did was rave. We had the best time of our lives there. Nothing has
come even close to being that good. You guys were awesome and so is your place.
When I'm able to go back I already know where I'm staying!!!

To Zenie and her amazing staff: Thank you for an absolutely wonderful stay at
the Carolines Resort. The bungalow was exactly what I needed. From the delicious
breakfasts served on my balcony each morning to the beautful sunsets at dusk,
the Carolines was the perfect place to spend my vacation. You and your staff
were professional, friendly, and personable-you all knew me by name and bungalow
number. I will definitely be staying at the Caroines Resort on my next visit

We couldn't have asked for a more hospitable staff and great accomidations. We
were traveling on our honeymoon and you and your staff certainly made it a honeymoon
in paradise. We certainly enjoyed our bungalow with the magnificent views and
sunsets. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect place to unwind and relax
after planning a wedding. Thank you so much for all your gracious hospitality.
It was greatly appreciated!! We can't wait to come back and spend more time in
Palau...especially at the Carolines. :) Maybe for our 5th anniversary. Thanks
again for eveything!

Dear Zenie. First
of all, we wish you and your staff a very happy new year. Secondly, thank you
for your hospitality during our honeymoon in Palau last December. We've only
just returned home, and I can tell you that a picture of the sunset as viewed
from the balcony of bungalow no. 3 is now a wallpaper for my computer screen.
We had a wonderful time in Palau. Next time we'll schedule the Jellyfish Lake
first thing, because we missed that due to the airline changing our flight. Thanks
again Zenie for calling them timely and saving us a lot of hassle. All the best
from Amsterdam, Joost and Lia Reinold

I went to the Carolines
Resort this past summer. Although the flight came in late, neverless there was
someone waiting for us to get our bags. To top that off they had fresh lays for
us to wear. I felt like royality! They set us up with our room and mafe us feel
like we were at home. In the morning, right on time came our breakfast. It was
steaming hot, and the women who delivered it to us were as kind as could be and
cometed on how beautiful i was. Went it was time for us to go SCUBA diving the
van was right on time and our adevture began. The water was so clear you didn't
know when you couldn't see! TONS OF FISH, TONS OF SHARKS(no worries they don't
bother you) and the guides are relaxed and laidback. Once we got back the staff
was ready to do anything for our dinne. we didn't feel like leaving so the order
a pizza for us. They staff at this Resort is ready to make you stay at Palau
was wonderful as possible. Anything you need they already have it for you. I
would like to thank everyone there for making me feel at home when i was so far
away from my real home. I can't wait to come back.

you to the Carolines resort on our recent Dive trip! We loved the luxury of the
rooms and the fantastic position of "the little resort on top of the hill".
All the locals we talked to confirmed that you are the best place to stay! It
was truely a luxery to come home to air-conditioned rooms and hot showers. The
mini-bars also got a bit of a work out. You certainly contributed to the enjoyment
of our trip and ....we will return! Tim McKenzie www.DivingTheBlue.com

Hi! Caroline resort,
I went to your web site and I fell in love your beautiful Bungalows resort. It
really awesome, I love it. Iam a Palauan who been away from home for more than
17 years, so I never knew that there are a lot of beautiful resort, hotels in
Palau until when I went to your web site.Anyway, maybe when I come to visited,
I will come and stay in your resort.

I love this website,
I haven't been back home since 1992 and I can see how much has changed since
I've been gone. Your website doesn't just attract foreigners and tourist it attracts
fellow Palauans that haven't been back home in ages. Your site makes me want
to fly down immediately,I wish you and yours a very prosperous future and best
wishes in your future endeavors. Add photos of guests and tourist that wouldn't
mind having their pictures online along side their comments on their adventure
at Carolines and Palau,that should bring more attraction to carolines if guests
that visit the website can have a visual on people that came and left with happy
memories. All the best!

You know, we would
NEVER say enough! The Caroline's and Palau was an ultimate vacation for us. We
thought it would the the trip of a lifetime. Not so, we want to go back and always
do when we visit this site and watch slides from our trip. We thought if we could
bottle the sounds we heard at night it would help. We miss the sounds, the smells,
the people, the sites, the quiet...you name it, we miss it, want to go back,
never forget it, can't stop talking about it...fall in love with each other all
over again and with the Carolines too! the history, the DIVING (awsome!).

Zenie and the entire
Carolines' staff made us feel right at home during our honeymoon! Their service
and hospitality were better than a 5 star hotel. Staying at the Carolines is
the best place on the island and the bungalows have a great view ABOVE the PPR.
It's by far the best place to stay in Palau. Also a special note to traveler's,
Koror has ALL the conveniences you can find in the USA like fully stocked grocery
stores and department stores, so don't worry about packing items thinking that
you might not find them on such a remote island. Enjoy your next trip to Palau!!!

the beautiful, amazing country of Palau. Zenie and the rest of the crew made
us feel welcome and keep the resort in terrific condition. Transportation is
easy to arrange; the bungalows are very comfortable and intimate. We particularly
enjoyed the breakfasts brought to our balcony overlooking the lagoon. We highly
recommend the Carolines resort for a special and delightful vacation.

Greetings from Seattle!
We arrived early yesterday morning (May 31st) after a long trip from Yap. The
weather in Seattle today is beautiful--we have sunshine and about 70 degrees
farenheit. The lake looks wonderful today but not as lovely as the view of the
Rock Islands from our balcony at The Carolines Resort. Thank you to Zenie and
her staff for making our stay at The Carolines so special. We enjoyed ourselves
very much and appreciated every little detail that Zenie and her staff did to
make our stay so special. The bungalows were spotless and meals always arrived
on time. Though the setting was lovely, what made The Carolines so extraordinary
is Zenie and her staff and their gracious hospitality. Thanks Zenie and the staff
of the Carolines for making our stay so memorable.

Hello all. We just
returned from Palau. We spent 7 nights at Carolines from 23 January to 30 January
2002. This was the most relaxing and romantic place that we have EVER stayed.
The bungalow was absolutely superb.. we loved the hand-carved details. The view
from our balcony was breathtaking both at night and day. Having breakfast brought
to us and served on our balcony each morning really started the day off perfect.
The food was excellent and filling. The staff was GREAT!! From the managers all
the way down to the grounds keepers.. everyone was always friendly and went out
of their way to speak to us as if they knew us. Every request was met with no
hesitation. Zenie the manager was sweet even to the point of a goodbye hug. The
night clerk (sorry I never got your name) was always helpful in arranging transportation.
Nelson, our driver, was always prompt and super courteous. Carmen, who to our
eyes did several jobs, was sweet and helpful. Thanks to all of you for making
our vacation perfect!! If anyone is planning a trip to Palua and would like more
information or pictures, please email us. If this is anyone's first trip to Palua..
stay at Carolines. It will definately add to your experience in Palau.

We visted Palau
and the Carolines Resort for our honeymoon in October. Zenie and her attentive
staff never ceased to do everything they could to make our stay in Palau perfect.
We stayed at the one of the largest resorts on Palau (the Palau Pacific Resort)
before moving over to the Carolines. We found that the friendly staff made all
the differance. They not only did they make us feel at home, but they went out
of their way to arrange our boat rides, hikes, dives, and restaurants, and even
provided the transportation! What could could be better than a postcard perfect
sunset on the deck of your own bungalow, drink in hand, after a day of diving
and before a romantic night out. What an unbelievable place to stay. Thank you
for for everything Zenie!

The Carolines is
a gem. Definitely the most romantic place to stay in Palau, but can be a little
lonely if you're by yourself. The secluded bungalows have amazing views and are
nicely furnished. Overall the accomodations are "elegantly rustic" --
if you're going to be worried about finding a gecko in your room, or have a hard
time with low water pressure, you might want one of the more commercial hotels,
but if you're into quiet evenings, beautiful sunsets, privacy, and friendly helpful
service, this is the ONLY place to stay in Palau.

The Carolines is
an excellent choice for a quiet location but without being isolated. There is
an excellent drop off and pick up service which means you can be where you want
to be quickly. The people are friendly and cannot do enough to make the stay
relaxing and care free. The views from the balcony are superb. In sum, a quiet,
relaxing and private location but with quick drop off and pick ups so you can
go where and when you want. Excellent service and best of all excellent people
to help with any issue. We are going back next year. Any questions, please feel
free to contact us.

Thanks to Zenie
and her attentive staff for making us feel so at home again. The spectacular
diving and hospitality at the Carolines drew us back only five months from our
last visit. We can think of no better way to start a day than having the wonderful
breakfast delivered to our balcony and enjoying the great food and the heavenly
view of the Rock Islands. And we can think of no better way than to end the day
of magical diving than watching the setting sun from the balcony. This time,
we also enjoyed the Carolines' tasty preparation of local fish for dinner in
the comfort of our bungalow. We want to thank each and everyone at the Carolines--Zenie,
Roberto, Annie, Eustacia, Nelson, Rey, Arnold, Ed, Mariano, (hopefully Jimmy
is back now too!)--for their hospitality.

Comfort, privacy, and views, views, views! We especially loved our breakfast
served on our balcony. The food (lunch and dinner if you want too) is excellent,
a bargain, and served with tropical flair and flowers. Allthe staff were incredibly
friendly and helpful - they will go out of their way to arrange anything you
want. Carolines also has the best gift shop in Palau. Don't miss a snorkel or
dive to see the giant clams. Just like the movies - they're HUGE!

The view was incredible and we loved having breakfast each morning on our balcony
overlooking the Rock Islands and Phillipine Sea! We also enjoyed some breathtaking
sunsets! The staff at the Carolines were so accommodating and hospitable. They
really made us feel welcome and had some great suggestions of things to experience
in Palau. Jimmy was always available to take us places and Zenie was so friendly
and knowledgable. Palau is a very memorable place and will always have a special
place in our hearts. The food was outstanding, the diving - fantastic and the
people are so nice! We can't say enough good things about Palau and want to come
back to see you soon! Hope you all are well!

Great site! I'm
half palauan, and I was looking for a site with pictures (to show off of course!)
and your site had the best selection. I can't wait until you add more. Makes
me want to go back for another visit.

Palau is a Paradise!
I can't wait to go back. I had the pleasure of staying at the Carolines Resort
and it was everything I expected. The view from the bungalow was breathtaking!
I loved having breakfast on the balcony every morning. The fruits were delicious
and your prices very reasonable. The rooms were spacious and cozy,and the VCR
in the room was an unexpected surprise. It made us feel really "at home".
The staff were very hospitable and warm. Special thanks to Jimmy for all his
efforts in making our stay comfortable. Zenie, thanks for setting up the Rock
Island tour. A tour every visitor to Palau should take! The experience will stay
with you forever. And to the rest, thanks for taking the time to take us to the
various delicious restaurants and shops. Definitely a nice change from the usual "Resort
Hotel" stay!

We visited Palau
in May of this year and it is one of the most beautiful places we've ever been.
Our experience at the Carolines was wonderful and the staff was so very friendly
and accomodating. Sam's Tours offered us some of the most memorable diving and
kayaking ever. We truly enjoyed our visit and have recommended both Carolines
Resort and Palau to all adventurers like us!

else during our visits to Palau. The Staff is outstanding and go out of their
way to make sure that your stay is great. We would like to personally thank Zenie
for being the best hostess that anyone could possibly ask for! The Carolines
Resort is without exception the best place to stay while visiting Palau. We plan
to return again and again and again!

and the staff go out of there way to make the stay romantic and relaxing. The

I just got back
from Palau. If there is one word that can summarize my experience at Palau it
would be: SPECTACULAR. If you want to experience Palau at its best you owe it
to yourself to stay at the Carolines, from the morning breakfast on your porch
to the breathtaking views everything is just perfect. This is what Palau is all
about. I am already planning my next trip to this paradise. Carolines, thanks
again for your hospitality and cordial service. You made my stay at your resort
an unforgettable experience.

Carolines, YOU ARE
THE BEST! My husband just returned from 9 months out at sea and we were looking
for a honeymoon atmosphere on Palau. Carolines was the answer! What a dream come
true... a real heaven on earth! Zenie and our driver Jimmie were an absolute
delight, working hard to make our stay the most memorable! Palau was our last
vacation before leaving Guam and it will be in our hearts and memories forever!
Thank you! Andrea and Matt

My boyfriend and
I discoverd Palau and all its wonders on the A&E channel as well.
Shortly after we booked our tickets for a week long adventure. We stayed at the
Carolines resort which came highly recommended by a number of people and from
our experience with good reason. The private bungalows are a perfect place to
relax after a long day of scuba diving. The view is just beautiful. Each and
every person that we met was extremely nice and were willing to do what ever
they could to make our stay a pleasant one....We had a great time. Thanks!

My friends and I
just returned from our trip to Palau. The Carolines is truly the best place to
stay on the island. We loved the fact that it is a small resort, with quaint,
romantic bungalows set in an authentic island atmosphere. The staff did a splendid
job taking care our every need. Zenie, your friendliness and amazing service
to us was particularly wonderful. Thank you so much. I hope to return again!

My dream is to return
one day to Koror--where I was born in 1949 and left when I was less than 1 year
old. My father was in the US Navy. I have many wonderful artifacts given to me
by the locals, shell money, story boards, statues of gods, a wonderful wooden
monkey lamp and monkey statues, and paintings done local artists. My parents
loved the people and culture and have shared many wonderful memories with me.
I hope to have my own memories when my dream comes true to return to Palau.

My wife, Adrianne,
and I chose The Carolines after checking out the website. What an excellent choice
for our honeymoon! This place is absolutely awesome and has an incredible staff
to boot. They went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed.
There is no better sunrise or sunset view on the island than from the bungalows
at The Carolines. If you are planning a trip to Palau and do not stay at The
Carolines....... that would be a mistake! You'll love it.

My husband and I
returned to Palau after 9 years. Carolines was a wonderful addition. We loved
the bungalows. Only suggestions I might make are having a locker near the office
so guests don't have to carry dive gear up the hill!!! We plan to return as soon
as possible. Thanks for a wonderful time.

Top 10. I am trying to decide where I would like to go on my honeymoon when I
get married. It may be a year or so from now but I was very impressed with the
beauty of the island and the wonderful scuba diving opportunity. It truly looks
like a paradise island. The positive comments regarding the staff from others
who have stayed there make it an easy choice. Hopefully I will be visiting your
beautiful island in the future. Sandy from Louisiana, USA

Enjoyed you website,
especially because I lived in Palau from 1964 to 1968--in Melekeok and later
in Koror. Tried all your website segments but had no success in finding a map
showing where you are located on Koror. A site map would be a good addition.
Ever thought about it? Or maybe it's there and I just couldn't find it. Look
forward to coming down for a vist. The pictures look like your resort is located
somewhere near the old "Topside." Love the look of the bungalows.

We thoroughly enjoyed
our honeymoon at the Carolines!! Laura and Zenie are most excellent hosts, and
Jimmy was awesome. We both travel quite a bit, and we have never seen the level
of service and hospitality offered by the Carolines, even at some high-end hotels
in the USA. Add this to the most beautiful sunsets ever (right from the balcony!)
and islands that define "tropical paradise," and you have the makings
of the best holiday you will ever have. Thanks for everything, Carolines!

My husband and I
are going to Palau Island for two weeks starting October 22. We are celebrating
our 10th year wedding anniversary in Palau and can't wait to finally see it.
Growing up with the last name Palau has always drawn my curiosity to it and after
reading lots of book, pictures, website and scuba magazines I will finally get
to live my dream and see what its like and have the experience of a lifetime.
Now that you've finally got a website it has made me feel more anxious than ever.
The Carolines Bungalows looks like such an intimate place to stay and enjoy the
true Palau experience. I can't wait to see your bungalows.
