"Extremely accommodating staff....spotless hotel. No real amenities. Next door to a restaurant with full menu and very pleasant staff. Not "right downtown" but minutes away but vehicle, about 15 minutes walk. Minutes walking away from Sam's Dive Shop and other facilities in the area. Have been to WP Malakal a few times in the past, and will continue when I visit Palau for my dive trips."
