Rose Garden Restaurant

Reviewing the restaurant as we didn't stay at the rooms. We ended up going here something like four times because the team was super friendly and the food was such good value. You'll be hard pressed to find many other places that can beat this place on price and quality! The sizzle plates are some of their best dishes, as well as the set menu dishes with Garlic rice.

I visited Palau for the first time in September 2024. Rose Garden Resort Restaurant was recommended by others I know that have visited Palau. They said "fantastic views overlooking the coast, and one of the best hamburgers you’ll find in Palau. One of the few places where you can get a decent omelette in the mornings!" I went for lunch and ordered a 1/2 half lb. hamburger with caramelized onions. It was wonderful. Sad it was raining when I went so I wasn't able to see the view. I loved that they played R&B and R&B jazz music while I was there.

I did not stay at the resort, but had lunch at the restaurant. Excellent food (I had the green curry, very tasty and a real punch if you choose to have it spicy) and stunning views. Iced water is free; ice tea includes a refill. Ask for extra plates or small bowls if you like to share dishes.

***** What You Need to Know ***** * As with previous reviewers, this is for the restaurant, not the hotel. * There is not a sign from the main road for the turn up a steep hill. You have to just know it’s there. * While the location is close to central Koror, I don’t consider it walkable, especially on the return trip (up a steep hill). * So if you’re staying here, you probably want a rental car. * The meal prices are the most reasonable I’ve encountered anywhere in Palau. I mean, $4.00 for an Asahi beer?! * The beef with broccoli is the best I’ve ever eaten anywhere. The broccoli tasted like it had been roasted over charcoal. See picture with review. * The Caesar salad may be the best on the island. There wasn’t a morsel left in any of the three plates of those who ordered it. * I’m not sure why, but the service was uneven. Plates will come out in the order that they are ready, with no logical reason why some arrive 15 or even 20 minutes after others. Or why the starters, calamari and fried pickles) came out last. BTW, best fried pickles I’ve ever eaten. * There is no A/C, but given the location on a hill and open concept, there is a delicious cross-breeze. I have no idea as to the significance of the Harley Davidson cycle and motif, but there it is. If I lived here, the Rose Garden would become my regular haunt.

Beautiful views and friendly staff. The Rose Garden resort staff greeted us with a so much generosity and hospitality. Stayed in one of the second story rooms over looking the property and the ocean. Rooms were spacious, very clean, had cable and a nice sized tv in each room. Food was delicious, recommend French toast for breakfast. And if you have enough maybe 6-7 people order the burger challenge it’s great for a photo but also very good! I recommend this place for couples or anyone trying to get away from it all. It was very peaceful property, calm and quite. We had a wonderful stay and cannot wait to go back.

Yummy lunch. I didn't stay here at the resort but went for lunch with some friends. The view is gorgeous and I had a really good papaya salad. The spice level was just right and it was a big portion.

We came here with a group of friends and had an amazing time. The best part of the hotel are the views and the restaurant. The hotel sits atop a small mountain overlooking the main city of koror. Just beyond the city you can see the beautiful clear and bright blue waters and a chain of islands. We were even lucky enough to catch a rainbow spanning over the island, it was spectacular. In terms of the food we had the best meal of our 4 day trip at the hotel. The tropical setting and locally sourced wood that they used to build the hotel make it feel like you are staying in a treehouse. The rooms are clean and spacious and all come with balconies overlooking the view aforementioned. The sheets are white (I only stay in hotels with white sheets). All in all a great place to stay as it really suits the local Palaun feel.

So good hotels in Palau are a bit pricey. Low priced are pretty much a dump. So I opted for the Rose Garden hotel and wasn';t disappointed. The rooms are nice and large with adequate bathroom. Terrace with a view. What makes this hotel is the friendliness of the staff. Food is good. Internet is workable in the restaurant but not available in the rooms. The hotel is a 10 mins by car from Koror, and a little remote, but the hotel staff will take you to places. Advice when booking is ensure that you ask them to pick you top at the airport. The taxis are a rip off. The main diving shops are 15 mins away by car, 45 mins to walk. Recommend NECO Marine
