This was my 3rd trip to Yap and my 1st time staying here. I found the hotel to be just perfect. The staff is extremely helpful and the rooms are absolutely lovely. The restaurant is equally nice, the staff is so great, and the food scrumptious. There's a nice pool area, too. But the best part of this place is... More

This is a lovely hotel! The staff were all welcoming and friendly. It's a short walk, maybe 5 minutes to the water. I ate at the YPD restaurant most of the time I was there, and thought it was fine. I was on a package group snorkeling trip, so I didn't see their menu prices. My highlight, besides seeing manta... More

We LOVED our stay at Yap Pacific Dive Resort (YPDR). Thanks to the whole crew! Dieter and the Dive crew (Mike, John, Charles) were fantastic. Our land tour by Tamag was awesome. The two Loris in the restaurant were wonderful too! We got a great deal and it was worth every penny. You will NOT be disappointed! If you want... More

A friendly staff member was there on time and took us to our rooms. The resort was very nice and like just like the other... More

The staff of Pacific Dive Resort did do their share to make our holiday an unforgetable experience. Although we were only two divers, they still took us to all the nice places. We did the Mandarin night dive, the Shark feeding and the commen outside reefs. Good diving, briefings and well equiped boats. Absolutely worth to go there and to... More

Arriving at Yap Pacific was like arriving at the front steps of a Hemingway novel. The atmosphere and appearance of the hotel (flights arrive in the wee hours of the a.m.) was like being in the southern USA. The hotel itself is amazing cute, bright and open. We did not have any meals included - and for the most part... More

We used Yap Pacific as a base for our diving. It was comfortable and clean, rooms were large, the view was fine, and the staff was helpful. The hotel was very atmospheric- felt like I was in a Hemingway novel. A great plus is that the hotel is in walking distance to 'town' and to their dive operation. The dive... More

Although I didn't stay at the resort, I did do some diving with Yap Pacific on a recent trip to Yap. I was traveling with a group of experienced divers and we were fortunate enough to have the boat to ourselves -- the staff gave us a full briefing of the areas around the island and let us choose our...

I've been traveling many years in Micronesia and I would highly recommend the Yap Pacific Dive Resort if you are coming to Yap. This used to be called Trader's Ridge and always were way too expensive for business travelers like myself. Now under new management, they really are the best deal in Yap! Don't get me wrong, they also offer... More
