Hotels near DFS(Guam) in Tamuning

While there are a few positives with this hotel, I do think there are many negatives (below) that need to be addressed. We ended up checking out early and moving to a different hotel that met more of our expectations. Positives -Location -Fun slide, pools are nice (plus baby pool) and kids water park (although very cold) -Free life jacket and baby float rentals -Friendly staff, welcome drink -The ohana grill had really good food and service! Negatives -Rooms are extremely dated and need major renovations. Bathroom had mold, cracks, very run down. It felt gross and unclean. The room quality didn’t remotely match what you’d expect for the price/night. We upgraded to an ocean view and there was no usable patio or chair. -There is a nice outdoor deck that’s smoking and in order to get to the pool and beach, you have to walk through it, so there ends up being a lot of unpleasant smoke inhalation. It seemed like they were catering more to smokers and we were never able to get away from it if we wanted to sit on the deck. Other hotels have a very separate smoking deck so guests do not need to walk in it if they don’t want to. -Music was way too loud in pool area, lobby and restaurants. -Breakfast buffet was below average. While the selection was good, quality was poor. -Beach chairs require a fee, other hotels don’t charge for use of beach chairs.

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.

The hotel is located on a steep slope, near the road, the roar of cars is very loud at night. After staying for 3 days, I gave 2 small bottles of water when I checked in! Go to the front desk and ask someone to tell you that you will give it once when you check in! There is also cleaning every day and one day we forget about it! In addition, let me say that the hotel is average, and it is okay to stay for a day or two temporarily

My childhood memories are filled with fond recollections of the days when this hotel was known as Daichi, and the Seahorse was its neighbor. It's heartwarming to witness the tremendous growth in the form of the Crowne Plaza, now in its third iteration. Despite the substantial exodus of people from Guam and the challenges faced by the hospitality industry, my experience at the Crowne Plaza was nothing short of spectacular — even amidst the aftermath of the most devastating natural disaster to hit the island in over 20 years. During my visit, the hotel experienced sell out occupancy for several days before and after my stay. To complicate matters, some rooms were rendered unavailable due to storm damage. Yet, to my amazement, both of my rooms were seamlessly upgraded without request, including one room to a one-bedroom suite. This exceptional resource management and commitment to their loyalty program and customers leaves me truly impressed. The hotel honored all Diamond Elite benefits, and with the Club lounge temporarily closed due to the storm, we were accommodated with equivalent offerings in the Lobby lounge. The Crowne Plaza's complete makeover, featuring a contemporary design, elevates it to the status of a brand-new hotel rather than a simple update with - and this distinction is important - new yet outdated hardware. For example, their innovative digital elevator is a fresh concept on Guam, separating them from their local competition. I want to extend my sincerest appreciation to Abegail. Her exceptional service and assistance with check-in and resolution of an issue with our room rate demonstrated her expertise. I booked the best flexible rate and even that somehow doubled. Abegail took charge and resolved the matter. Her proactive approach and willingness to be our point of contact for any requests or concerns displayed remarkable initiative whilst juggling her duties at the counter. My gratitude extends to Abegail, the housekeeping, facilities, F&B, and the entire team for the outstanding care they provided during such challenging circumstances. A special thank you goes out to Tan Holdings and IHG for their continued investment in and commitment to the Crowne Plaza to ensure not just a future, but a brighter future, for Guam's hospitality industry.

Clean rooms, friendly staff, good location, and great access to the beach and infinity pool. The food in their restaurants are pretty good. They have a shop that sells some souvenirs, beach/swimming essentials, some snacks and beverages, etc. which is convenient. If you want to work out they have a small gym on the lobby floor. They also have a good amount of washing machines and dryers for use. Each floor is provided as well with an ice machine and microwave near the elevators. However, I did have some minor issues with my room specifically. Sometimes the lights would flicker and there were problems with the water dispenser. I could also hear the chair and furniture of the room above me moving a lot which was bothersome especially at night and early in the morning. These weren't present during my previous stays here, so maybe it was just bad timing on my end. But I think more thorough room maintenance checks would be helpful just to make sure everything is in order. Overall, I think the pros still heavily outweigh the cons. I always enjoy my stay in Guam Reef and will gladly come back! Their service and amenities are great and the location is perfect since it's walking distance from multiple shopping centres, convenience stores, and restaurants. This is still my go-to hotel in Guam and have recommended it to multiple friends.

All the staff were kind. I liked the room because it was clean. Especially, I was a Korean employee when I checked out I was wearing a name tag called Min I gave my child chocolate as a gift. Thank you!

To sum up: a very comfortable hotel, I will come again next time. 1. The hygiene was not perfect because ants were found on the bed 4 times. The 2 meals were good, the BBQ show was great, and there were discounts on meals at the hotel. 3. The parking lot is very convenient. 4. The beach is very good, and the church is one of the most beautiful churches in Guam. 5. Another shortcoming is that I booked breakfast, but because I checked out early, the breakfast was not refundable. Even though I told the situation when I checked in, and the front desk said I could try it when I checked out, it was not refunded. Alas, the loss was about 120 dollars. ．

The only negative I have is that some aspects of this hotel are dated/in need of repair, but nothing too bad. OK, maybe a second negative was the nightly live music in the lobby that my co-workers could hear from their rooms on lower floors. The inside of the hotel is open all the way to the top (21 floors). The music was not an issue for me, but I was on the 20th floor. Now for the positive…. The proximity to town is great - you can walk to shopping and dining. The beach was excellent and right on the calm bay. There’s a water sports equipment rental place on the beach right by the hotel pool. You can get pretty much anything you’d need, other than motorized equipment. I rented a paddle board and enjoyed paddling around the bay for a couple of hours and would highly recommend it. There are chairs and umbrellas in the beach. There is also a large, resort style pool with bar. The drinks were good and affordable. While there could stand to be some updating of the pool area (maybe cement patch work and painting), they seemed to be working on it because the second, smaller pool and hot tub were under renovation. It seemed to me that a lot of places in Guam are just now starting to come back from the impact of COVID (low tourist numbers so limited staffing and repairs/updates to properties and restaurants). The Westin Club Lounge was great - good food, wine and beer, plus it’s on the top floor with excellent views to the south and west. The breakfast buffet had a lot of quality options. The gym was a little small for the size of the resort, but it worked. Bonus - plenty of garage parking. The staff was friendly and helpful across the entire resort. I’d absolutely stay here again!!

Update: Upon reading my negative feedback, I was put in touch with Ms. Sunny Cho and Mr. Hanmin Jang. Mr. Jang was very apologetic about our situation and offered to comp our meals at Oceano at a later date. It also came to light that Mr. Tsaio had originally given us an incorrect email and that was why I never received a response back. After we checked in for our reservation Mr. Jang and Ms. Cho made a point to come over to my husband and I to meet us in person and wish us a good dining experience. I also believe that they told our waiter to take extra good care of us on that evening because the service was excellent. My husband and I stayed at Tsubaki in April. Upon our check-in, we were informed by the manger, Tom Tsiao that all of the restaurants on premise were closed due to a recent outbreak of Covid, and our dinner reservations were subsequently cancelled with no notice. Mr. Tsaio offered us 2 options we could cancel our reservation and come back when Oceano was back up and running or we could keep our existing reservation and would receive a voucher to eat at Oceano free of charge, at a later date. We decided to go with the 2nd option, seeing it as a fair comp. In December we decided to use the voucher for our wedding anniversary dinner, to be informed that it did not exist. When we spoke with Mr. Tsaio directly he informed us he did not remember speaking to us and offering a voucher to eat at Oceano. No such voucher existed.

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.
