–How did you come to work at the Crowne Plaza Resort Guam?
I moved to Guam in May 2024 from ANA InterContinental Ishigaki Resort, which opened in 2023 as the first IHG Hotels & Resorts brand hotel in the Micronesia region, and I am working hard every day to make more guests aware of this new hotel. We look forward to welcoming Japanese guests to Guam many times in the future with our warm-hearted service.
–What kind of hotel is it?
Crowne Plaza Resort Guam, a premium beachfront hotel with Guam’s most beautiful Tumon Bay at its doorstep, is located in the heart of Tumon, within walking distance to shopping, dining, and entertainment.
Rebranding as an IHG Hotels & Resorts brand in 2023, the hotel offers a relaxing stay with exceptional service and hospitality, including expansive tropical gardens, infinity pools, a wide range of marine activities, and a choice of restaurants and bars to suit your preferences! The hotel also offers a children’s club and a family pool. A kids’ club and family pool are also available, making the hotel ideal for family vacations.
— What is the unique experience of the Crowne Plaza Resort Guam?
The resort offers a variety of experiences made possible by its beachfront location on Tumon Bay, where guests can enjoy marine activities such as snorkeling, SUP (stand-up paddleboarding), and kayaking. The resort’s hustle and bustle environment also allows for direct access to the beach for a relaxing and active time.
–please let me know if you have any personal favorites tourist spots or restaurants in the vicinity of the hotel.
We recommend Slowalk Coffee Roasters, which opened in December 2023. Although not yet listed in tourist guidebooks and located a bit far from the city center, the antique interior and numerous coffee grinders make for a relaxing café experience.
–What restaurant menu do you recommend?
The Terrace buffet restaurant offers a wide range of local and international cuisine. The outdoor restaurant with panoramic views of Tumon Bay offers flavorful meals ranging from fresh seafood to Pan Pacific-inspired cuisine. Enjoy Guam’s signature local food, Asian-inspired cuisine, and other memorable culinary experiences.
–What souvenirs do you recommend?
Chamorro Chip Cookies are a great choice. The smallest individually wrapped cookies start at 99 cents, making them an affordable souvenir.
