Hotels Near Mt. Schroeder in Guam

グアムと言えばオンワードビーチリゾートというほど、殆どこのホテルにしか泊まっていない。 タモンの繁華街から離れていることで敬遠されがちだが、グアムに3つしかないウォーターパークのうちの一つがここにあり、1週15分程度かかる流れるプールや、ウォータースライダー、マンタ、ボディボードを楽しめる波の出るプールのほか、最近はオーシャンZIPという、空中滑空が追加されていた。 ビーチに目をやると、ホテルの前に広がる海が殆どホテル専用になっており、ジェットスキー（$55）やカヌー（先着順無料）、シュノーケルなどもほとんど制限なく行うことができる。混雑度は今回は混んでいるほうだったが、それでも流れるプールに浮いている浮き輪が足りなくなるような混雑はない。国籍は日本人（一番多い）、中国人、韓国人、欧米か？がバランスよくいる感じ。 今回はコロナ入国制限直前の神がかったタイミングでグアムに訪問できたのでその際のことを書こう。 今回もオンワードビーチリゾートのタワー棟を選択。（タワー棟にはタワーラウンジがあり、お酒を含むドリンクと軽食が無料で利用できる。タワー棟へ入るにはルームキーとは別にタワー棟のキーが必要で、これを持てるのはタワー棟宿泊客とウイング棟のジュニアスイートのみとなっているのだ） ホテルに到着するとタイミング悪く日本語ができるスタッフが居なかったので、英語で案内される。ルームキーをもらって、Wi-Fiの接続方法の説明を受けた。その際外国人スタッフ同士が英語で「このお客さん部屋に案内する？」「日本人だからしないでもいい」といった内輪の話をしてしまっていたところだけが唯一のマイナスポイントだが、案内されないこと自体はチップ代が浮くので全く問題はない。（I can hardly speak English.なので殆ど会話はできないが、簡単な英語ならそこそこヒアリングはできるのだ） さて、ちょっとしたハプニングの後、ホテルに到着したのが夕方だったこともあり、手始めにウォーターパークの流れるプールに入る。浮き輪に乗って3週ほどプカプカ浮いているだけだったが、南国特有の強い日差しの晴天に恵まれて、仕事を忘れてリラックス。 部屋に戻るとバスタオルが見当たらないので濡れネズミのまま探していると、タイミングよくホテルのフロントから「何か不都合はございませんか？」と日本人女性スタッフの電話が来たので、神に感謝しつつ「プールから戻ってタオルを探していたんですけど、見つからなくて…タオルはどこですか？」と聞くと「それは寒かったでしょうね、申し訳ございません。もしタオルが無いようでしたら直ぐにお持ちいたします」と言われたので、一応設置場所を確認すると自分の身長より高いところにあったらしい。（あれ、昔からここだっけ？）と思いながら、同時に「何か不都合はございませんか？」と気を回してわざわざ電話をくれたスタッフに感謝。うん、こういった痒いところに手が届くところがサービスとして重要。（決して部屋でうろうろしてるのをモニターで監視をしていて「怪しい」と電話してきたわけじゃないと思う） 夕食は事前予約をしていたオンワードトロピカルBBQ（※コロナの影響で現在はやっていない可能性あり）で、食べ飲み放題の食事をしながらポリネシアンショーを見る。部屋に戻ると前日の睡眠時間の少なさと、飛行機に揺られてきた疲れもあって、死んだように寝る。明日からは本気出す…zzz。 二日目は事前予約をしていたジェットスキーだ。開始時刻5分前くらいにビーチカウンターの受付に行き予約票を渡すと、「用紙が足りない」と言ったことを英語で言われる。なんとなく2枚重ねのうちのお客様用と書かれたほうを部屋に置き忘れたのに気付いたので、急いで取りに帰る。戻ってくるとジェットスキーの説明書きを読めと言われて、表が英語、裏が日本語になっている英語面を見せられるので必死に読んでいたら、「Sorry:)」と日本語面に裏返される。ちょっとおちゃめなスタッフさんだ。得意の斜め読みで「OKOK」と言ったら、「really?　…ホントニィ？（なぜ日本語？）」と聞かれたので「YES」というと、説明書きを裏返されて、「ジェットスキーのブレーキは？」的な事を英語で聞かれる。（あれ、ジェットスキーにブレーキなんてあったっけ？？？と思いながら）「え、ブレーキ？ブレーキなんてあるの？？？」と日本語で言っていたら、「ホラホラー（これまた日本語？）」と言って日本語面に切り替えて、「no brake！」と言ってきた。「やっぱりないじゃん！」と言ったら笑ってたが、なんとなく楽しいやり取りだ。その後、片言の日本語でどこから来たのかを聞かれたので答えると、どうやら一時期同じところに住んでいたらしい。その後、「あのスタッフについて行って」と英語で言われるのでついて行くと、2番目のスタッフからさらに沖の方（腰がつかるくらいの場所）を指さして、「インストラクターのところへ行くように」と英語で言われる。（え、ジェットスキーの説明何も受けてないけどいいのかな？）と思いながらインストラクターのところへ行くと、そこで説明を受けた。もちろん英語だ。海に浮いている4か所のブイを指さしながら、「左回りでブイの外側を回れ」ということらしい。あと、ライディング時間は15分とのことで、その間自由に運転していていいとのこと。なんとなく理解したので、さっそくジェットスキーにまたがって周回を開始。アクセルを吹かすと勢いよく進み、緩めると停止する。日本だと免許が無いと単独走行できないが、グアムでは乗れるのだ。やばい、これ楽しい。何周したか忘れたが、かなり堪能したのと最後にライディングしている雄姿（？）をデジカメで撮影してほしかったので、終了3分くらい前に戻ると、「もういいの？」的な事を言われたので「Very enjoyed!」とカタコトの英語で答えつつ、腰のデジカメに手をやって「Would you mind …」と言ったところで、「okok!」と言われて写真を撮ってもらえた。（海上だからチップ持ってないんだけどどうすればいいんだろう）と思いながら、言葉で感謝を伝えて楽しいジェットスキーの時間は終了。心残りは、出発前に必死で覚えた「Would you mind taking a photo for me?」を最後まで言わせてもらえなかったことか…。その後はカヌーをやろうと思ったが、「既に本日分の予約はいっぱいです」とのことで、プールでスライダーや回遊プール遊びに切り替える。シュノーケルは個人的にできないので選択肢が少し狭いが、シュノーケル好きならいくらでも海で楽しめそうだ。 この日の夕食は「嵯峨野」。実はこのレストランは昔来た時は恐ろしく不味くて、刺身を頼んだら明らかに腐ったようなにおいのものが出てきたのでその後ずっと敬遠していたのだが、最近の口コミで明らかに料理内容が変わっていたのと美味しいということで、恐る恐る再訪を決めたところ、これが大当たり。 頼んだメニューは伊勢海老の鬼殻焼きが付いたカットステーキと刺身などが付いた和定食。う、旨い…。これ下手な日本料理屋より旨いですよ。セットで$50くらいだった

The club lounge could only be used for breakfast. Also, during the cocktail hour, there were no cocktails at all even though the advertisement said cocktails. The breakfast taste was average, but there were quite a few insects in the vegetables, fruits, and bread. The room and pool were good However, I was woken up several times during the night by the cleaning staff slamming the door of the room next door. The building itself is old, so it's quite noisy. Also, on one day, the Chinese people downstairs were having a party until around 24:00, and it was so noisy that I couldn't help but feel uncomfortable. I warned her, but she wouldn't stop making noise. I booked this hotel thinking it would be a quiet hotel, so I was disappointed.

It must be said that the location of the hotel is facing the street, and it is really noisy at night. After the first night, I had to change rooms. The more important thing is that each room has an electric box. The night was buzzing and noisy, and I had booked four nights at this hotel. After two nights, I was forced to change the hotel. Hotel front desk and health services are ok, especially the front desk service is very good, but it is too noisy, if you live temporarily, it is ok, if you come to the exam, really do not recommend

I have traveled to Guam many times, but I always used the hotel near Tamon Bay. I used the Royal Orchid Hotel for the first time this time, but it was more convenient and better than I thought. Near the hotel, there was a free shuttle bus to outlets, micronesia mall and DFS. The hotel had washing machines and dryers, but I think it was good to use them for free. There were caprichoza and Tony Rome in the hotel, both of which were favorite restaurants. The unfortunate thing is that there was no veranda. The dryer was important because there was little space for laundry to dry. Near the front desk, there was a staff who could speak Japanese from the afternoon, so I was saved. I would like to use this hotel if I have a chance.

The couple stayed in the holiday suite for 2 nights from the beginning of the year. I knew the hotel was aging, but the room was large, but the lights in the room were only a stand ２ and it was dark. I entered the hotel after check-in was 3 o'clock, but I was waiting for it to end because I had not finished cleaning yet. The next day, no matter how many times I came back from the outside, the room cleaning did not come, and I came after 7 o'clock in the evening, and I refused because I had already relaxed after dinner. I have stayed in various countries and hotels so far, but it was the first time that it was so late. The location of the hotel is good but a little disappointing.

AWESOME NEWLY RENOVATED BOUTIQUE HOTEL IN TUMON! Stayed at Hotel Tano for about a month, and the hotel was the perfect property for us while on remote work/vacation on Guam visiting family and friends over our kids summer break. The hotel had just completed their renovation and conversion to a newly renovated boutique hotel. We loved the modern design and concept of the property and of the Premier Suite we had stayed in. We also loved the view of Tumon Bay and It’s sunset from our suite. The property is also centrally located on Tumon, where we made the daily walk to Fujita beach which was about a 5 minute walk and the main Tumon shopping ***** which was about a 10 minute walk. Staff were superb, as others mentioned on here. They welcomed us with the Hafa Adai spirit, they were attentive to our family’s needs during our stay, and at times a couple steps ahead in insuring we had a great stay. They sure made us feel like family. These individuals includes (Brandon, Robinson, Sam, Rey, Oz, Misty, Josh, Jay, Mark, Sheryl, and Jamie) A couple specific individuals that made our stay extra special, were Oz and Misty. Oz Lobby Host, consistently greeted us as we departed the hotel to kick-off our day and welcomed us back in the evening as we returned back to the hotel from our fun filled day. Oz would also check in on us to insure we were having a great stay. Misty our room attendant, was consistent in servicing our room, and would consistently check in to see if we needed any additional room amenities during our stay. It was refreshing to come back from our day to a clean room. My kids also loved the care that Misty had put towards their stuff animals. Overall an AWESOME stay, and we are looking forward to staying again and will be recommending Hotel Tano to our stateside friends & family who are in search for a hotel on Guam.

Excellent location to relax and enjoy the ocean view from where we stayed. Since our vacation was during the Holy Week, the ocean breeze and the waves played ambient sounds for my early morning prayers from the hotels balcony. The whole day was spent strolling around the commercial places which was a stones throw away from the hotel. Nice place to window shop and to buy some stuff for souvenirs. Though I didn’t have much time to go swimming because of the unpredictable rain, I had spent my afternoons waiting for the twilight as the sky dusked and captured the panoramic sunset images in my brain. As for the food, I haven’t tried the hotels restaurant the whole time. It was more fun to explore a good deal of restaurants and diners nearby. Stayed 4 nights at Hyatt and the place is recommendable. Ideal place for family vacation if your goal is to relax, unwind and bond with family and friends.

The breakfast at the hotel was a well-stocked buffet-style meal. They did make custom omelets. The breakfast included a wide range of meats each morning. There were breads, cereals, and pastries. Coffee, teas, and juices were included. The rooms are large and are well-appointed. The bed, pillows, and linens were outstanding. My room had a nice view of the pool and ocean. The internet worked well. The hotel is well located near the beach, dining, and shopping district. Other nightlife activities are in close walking distance. There was a large self-serve washer & dryer on-site.

After being „stranded“ in Guam because our connection flights have gotten cancelled over and over again, we decided to trade the uncomfortable chairs at the aiport for a real bed. Since there is no good wifi at the airport we decided to go the touristinformation to book a hotel. After 30 hours without sleep we just didn‘t feel like looking for a free wifi spot just to look up some hotels for one night. We told the employee at the information, that we don‘t care what the rate is. We just want a comfortable clean room with wifi and the hotel shouldn‘t be that far away from the airport. After he made some calls he said that a lot of hotels are full and dont have a room available. I suggested that it might be better if we check online by ourself and wanted to turn away from him as he said he can ask at Harmon Loop hotel. It is a little more expensive with 75$ a night but it is a nice hotel and they offer airportshuttle for 5$ per person for one way. We accepted and went outside to wait for the driver. We were picked up by the manager (I think) who demanded the transportation fee of 10$ dollars as soon as he had shut the doors. After giving him 20$ dollars and asking for the 10$ change he responded with broken english that we will get the change right away. We had to ask two more times for the money before we received our 10$. Irritaded by the whole situation we put it on the language barrier. When we arrived at the hotel it wasn‘t looking very inviting from neither the outside nor the inside. It felt like 40 degrees in the lobby and just to make sure what we have gotten ourselfs into we asked if we could see a room first before checking in. We could see that the people at the front desk didn‘t like that idea and they were discussing stuff in their mother tongue, their eyes still focused at us. Reluctantly he showed us the room. It was very heaten up and a little smelly but it had an ac and he told us that he has just turned it on. So it will be cool in notime. The rest of the room looked „okay“ at first and so we went back to the frontdesk and continued the ckeck-in. While I was completing the formal stuff the woman asked me why we wanted to see the room first, in a tone as if I had insulted her personally. I explained to her that we are just tired and stressed out and we didn‘t want to offend her. She did not reply anything and gave us the key, the wifi password and the remote to the television. But not before demanding the 10$ dollar transportation fee for the next day. Coming back to the room we noticed, that it hasn‘t cooled down. We started looking for a way to control the ac but decided to ask the staff if they could help us. They told me that they only have one remote and if we want to change the settings of the ac we would have to talk to them. After asking several times to give me the remote just temporarilly so we could adjust everything, they gave in and handed the remote over. But only if I will bring it back right afterwards. Be

I visited to ride the swimming pool and the largest water slide in Guam. I had a great time. There are no pictures of breakfast, but Korean food such as stir-fried pork and Japanese food such as omelet and udon suited my taste very well. The food in the photo was eaten at a separate dinner buffet reservation. It was nice that there were unlimited refills of alcohol and beverages and the food suited the Korean palate. There is a gun beach right next to the accommodation, so it's great for not only the view but also the quiet sea! Since the Tao Tao Tasi show is held next to it, I recommend this hotel if you have plans to see the show! A tumbler is provided in each room, and there is a water purifier with ice in the hallway.
