Situated just south of the central reservation near Neco Marine and the Palau Royal Resort, this is a relaxed waterfront seaside bar & barbecue place with shellfish and other local specialities. Because it is situated next to one of the diving centres, it is very much appreciated by scuba diving and tends to be quite occupied in the afternoons when all the diving vessels return.

The Bottom Time Bar & Grill is off the well-trodden paths at Sam's diving centre. Because of the situation in the diving base it gets too busy and noisy in the afternoons. Featuring a terrace on the outskirts of one of the rocky isles, and most of the weekend there is a good place to enjoy a Friday or Saturdaynight.
