How are these rankings determined?
No guest reviews have been submitted for these listings yet, so they are not ranked by rating: featured listings come first, then the rest of the active, verified listings in directory order. Once reviews are submitted through the Island Seeker directory, the order follows the average rating (highest first), with ties broken by review count and featured status.
insider tips
What to Know Before You Go
Book direct or via Guam-specialist OTAs for the best rates
Booking directly with the hotel often unlocks complimentary upgrades, early check-in, and free transfers. Guam-specialist travel agencies in Japan and Korea frequently offer bundled package rates that undercut major OTAs — worth checking if you are flying from Tokyo, Osaka, or Seoul.
Standard check-in is 3–4 pm; early check-in often available for a fee
Most Guam hotels have a 3 pm or 4 pm check-in and 11 am or 12 pm check-out. Early check-in (from 10 am) is often available for $30–$60 extra or complimentary if the room is ready. Late check-out to 2–3 pm is commonly offered at smaller hotels and guesthouses.
Ocean view vs. garden view: the pricing gap is worth knowing
Ocean-view rooms at Tumon Bay resorts typically cost 20–35% more than garden or parking-lot-facing rooms. Upper floors (8+) offer the clearest views. If budget is a concern, booking a garden-view room and spending time at the beach offers similar value at a lower rate.
Resort fees are uncommon but exist at some properties
Unlike Hawaii or Las Vegas, mandatory resort fees are not standard in Guam. However, a handful of larger resorts charge a daily amenity fee of $15–$30 covering pool access, fitness centre use, and Wi-Fi. Always confirm the total rate at booking — the listed room rate may not include these charges.
