Guam Reef Hotel

“A tropical resort hotel for normal people: convenient location, walking distance to beach, stores, and restaurants”

The Guam Reef hotel is the kind of resort I can deal with. The rooms are clean, unpretentious hotel rooms, which suits my minimalist and low-budget needs. The staff kindly helped me when I needed it, and Guam's reputation for laid-back and polite local manners held up. Also, I experienced my first Toto toilet there, the kind with the control panel of a small airplane, which was interesting and I want one now. The hotel is situated on a cliff of coral rock, and the beach is a few steps away. Remember this is a hilly, rocky island, so you'll be walking up and down several stories whether going to the beach or the nearby stores and restaurants. Speaking of which, stores and restaurants are all within walking distance: convenience stores, high-fashion outlets if you're into that, and Korean, Japanese, and local eateries. This was my first time in the honest-to-goodness tropics, and the experience was like going to another planet. I arrived at Guam after flying about 24 hours and passing through four airports or so, including George Bush in Houston and D/FW and wow was I ready to flop into the clean, comfortable bed at Guam Reef. Don't choose Guam Reef if you need that Roman Orgy experience with the people dropping grapes in your mouth and being fanned with ostrich plumes. But if you are an ordinary person who wants to explore a place in the tropics with a lower profile than Hawaii but which has hundreds of years of history, you'll be all right at the Guam Reef. Did I mention the beaches? Tumon Bay is shallow and clear, with a lively ecology of fish and marine invertebrates.

This is the second time I have stayed here and would happily stay again. The pool has amazing views over the bay. You can swim, stop and savour the views then swim again and repeat. Comfortable lounges that for me could stay in the shade. Room was great, quite big with a comfortable bath. My view from the room was awesome. Was a balcony but no chairs on it. I love the big water dispenser they have, hot or cold, bring your water bottle. Location is right in the centre of the tourist town. Easy to walk to shops and restaurants. If you have no car the trolley stops close by. You can walk down some steps, perhaps around 25? Then be on the beach, awesome. I started the morning with a walk and a swim before the beach was in the sun, just fabulous. Staff were pleasant, will store luggage before and after checkout in. Lovely to easily spend the day by the pool/ beach and shops. Highly recommend. Would definitely love to stay here again when back in Guam.

“Amazing Staff”

Location is great and you don’t have to pay resort fees it’s walking distance to many restaurants, shops, and has beach access. Also not far from the airport. The Staff from the store, front desk, and poolside bar (James, Cherylynn, and Clyde) all provided perfect service.
