Palau Sunrise Sea View Landison Retreat

新開的酒店，設施一流，海景絕佳

We just spent a fortnight in Palau and for our last few days we experienced wonderful luxury at the Sunrise Landison Retreat hotel. After busy days based in Koror and snorkeling out at the amazing Rock Islands, we were able to completely relax, take in the marvellous views, sleep on beautiful linens, and have endless swims in the infinity pool - this hotel was a perfect ending to our Palauan visit. Whilst the hotel is away from the main town up on the east coast, having needed to rent a car as there are no pavements/side walks in Koror, it was an easy drive to Malekeok; and if you are not renting a vehicle, the hotel provides transport to and from the airport and Koror. The staff are welcoming, helpful and professional - we just loved our time here.

I recently stayed here, it had a lot going for it: beautiful decor, beautiful rooms, and great amenities. However, my experience was somewhat overshadowed by a few unsettling factors. First, we were the only guests staying here during my stay, which created an eerie atmosphere. The silence was palpable, and without other visitors, it felt more like a deserted retreat than a bustling hotel. The remote location, very far from the city, added to the isolation, making it difficult to explore or find things to do nearby. And the drive to and from the city for food makes it a very long day especially if you don't have a car or are on the island with friends. Additionally, I couldn't shake the feeling that the staff were watching our every move. While they were polite and attentive, their constant presence made me uneasy. It felt less like hospitality and more like surveillance, which took away from the sense of relaxation I was hoping to enjoy. They also say on the website they've got a beautiful look out viewing spot on the roof, we went to check it out and it was closed. As well as their on site shop was also closed. The rooms and hallways looked unfinished, like the job had been rushed, there was still ladders and other building equipment left all over the resort. The menu items for dinner are also extremely expensive. In summary, while the hotel itself was bea and well-appointed, the lack of other gues. remote location, and the feeling of being monitored made for an uncomfortable experience. It is a shame, we had high expectations however we feel disappointed in our experience. I would recommend it only for those seeking solitude or a unique getaway, but it might not be ideal for everyone.
