Comments The Palau Pacific Resort was outstanding. The best service that we've ever experienced. Great rooms and terrific restaurant. There is also excellent snorkeling at their beautiful beach. Sam's Tours is an excellent, well organized company. The dive masters, Ronnie and Jim, were eager to find and point out critters that the rest of us may have missed on every dive. They were also willing to follow our wishes as to which dive sites to visit each day.
