Palau Pacific Resort and Sam’s Tours

Palau, Micronesia

Palau Pacific Resort is located on a pristine white sand private beach on the island of Koror, the Republic of Palau. It is the ultimate tropical gateway in Micronesia, nestled in 64 acres of lush tropical gardens with the Pacific Ocean caressing its pristine white sand beach. This luxury resort in Palau features 160 unique villa-style guestrooms including the amenities of a world-class resort. The resort was built respecting the surrounding natural Palau environment, building no higher than the tallest coconut tree.

The Palau Pacific Resort is one of the primary supporters of conservation to protect Palau’s biodiversity for future generations. The resort contributes annually to various organizations and continues to promote eco-tourism activities.

The resort is just a 30-minute drive from the Palau International Airport. Transportation to and from the airport may be arranged for guests by NECO Shuttle bus service ($22.00 each way), private taxi, or car rental. Transportation from the hotel to restaurants and shops downtown may be arranged at the Guest Service counter either by BBI shuttle bus service (starting at $8.00 for a one-week pass) available in the evening or any time of the day by taxi (starting at $8.00 one way to downtown).

MARINE LIFE RESERVE BY KOROR STATE LAW:

Palau Pacific Resort Marine Sanctuary was established on December 2, 2002. The fringing reef sanctuary has a high biodiversity with over 566 species of marine life including algae, sea grass, coral, fish, and macroinvertebrates. This sanctuary is home to several endangered species: the famous giant clam, the humphead parrotfish, the humphead wrasse, and the hawksbill turtle.

PROTECTING WATER RESOURCES:

Palau has had dry seasons leading to water shortage and conservation. To ensure an adequate and safe water supply, the resort maintains its own source of water from rainwater and a deep well. Water drawn from these sources is filtered, chlorinated, and stored in tanks that distribute the water to the entire resort.

TRANSPLANTING BABY GIANT CLAMS:

Palau has 7 species of clams out of 9 species in the world. Guests can participate in the Baby Clam Planting at Palau Pacific Resort’s marine sanctuary during Earth Day or on special occasions. This is their effort to conserve clam species as well as snorkeling attractions for their guests.

SOLAR POWER GENERATION:

Most living things on earth such as people, plants, and animals enjoy the benefit of the sun. A solar module panel was installed in 2011 to generate solar energy. This effort was to help minimize global warming as well as cost savings on electricity and maintenance. The solar panels provide electricity for the lobby area of Palau Pacific Resort.

WASTE PLASTIC OILING SYSTEM

Palau Pacific Resort has invested in an environmentally friendly machine that converts discarded plastic back into oil which is a blend of gasoline, diesel, kerosene, and some heavy oils. The oils are being used for tiki torches and small equipment. It can be processed further and could go straight into a diesel car.

COMPOSTING RAW GARBAGE:

Every day, raw food is picked up at the Koror State’s compost recycling center where the raw food is processed into pure soil. The soil is used for gardening throughout Palau Pacific Resort.
