Day 1: From Airport Arrival to Hotel Check-in

At 10 AM, after a 4-hour flight from Incheon Airport, we arrived at Guam International Airport. The distance from Guam International Airport to Crowne Plaza is 2.8km, so we reached the hotel in just 10 minutes by taxi. While airport shuttle service is available, we chose a taxi since we had lots of luggage for our family trip.

✅ Pro Tip — For airport shuttle service, contact the hotel for details. Ask about rates when making your hotel reservation.

Upon arriving at the hotel, I immediately realized we were right in front of Tumon Beach. Crowne Plaza Guam is located in the heart of Tumon Bay, allowing you to perfectly enjoy the beautiful views of Tumon Beach while being within walking distance to various famous restaurants, cafes, and shopping centers.

Check-in time is 3:00 PM, check-out time is 12:00 PM, so since we arrived early, we left our luggage and decided to explore the area. The ocean view from the hotel lobby was absolutely stunning.

For lunch, we ate at the hotel’s restaurant ‘The Terrace’, where you can easily grab a meal, and it had a convenient atmosphere for families with children. Breakfast options include Western, Asian, Continental, and vegetarian varieties.

After checking in at 3 PM, we experienced our first wow moment in the room. Most rooms at the Crowne Plaza Resort offer spectacular views of Tumon Beach, and our family suite was incredibly spacious.

“As soon as we opened the window, the entire family gasped at the panoramic ocean view”

Day 2: A Perfect Day at the Hotel Pool and Beach

Our second day’s morning started at the hotel pool. The statement that the kids pool provides a safe and enjoyable environment for children was absolutely true. The shallow depth allowed our child to play safely.

There are 2 outdoor swimming pools – one main pool for adults and another kids’ pool. It’s a really convenient setup for families with children.

💡 Note — You can enjoy sunbathing at the resort pool or relax in the spacious, lush gardens while admiring the beautiful ocean views

In the afternoon, we signed up for a boat tour. It was convenient that the hotel could help with reservations. It was a short course around Tumon Bay, and our child loved it.

The Polaroid photos we took on the boat came out beautifully. The family photos with Guam’s crystal-clear waters as the backdrop will be memories we’ll treasure forever.

In the evening, we participated in what they said was the resort’s BBQ show, which showcases local Micronesian culture and is the most popular event among visitors to Guam. It was meaningful for our child to experience the local culture.

Day 3: Inarajan Natural Pool – Guam’s Hidden Gem

On our last day, we rented a car and headed to Inarajan Natural Pool. Since Inarajan Natural Pool is located at the southernmost tip of Guam, we recommend driving there if you’re traveling by car, so we really wanted to visit.

After about a 40-minute drive from the hotel, we arrived. Inarajan Natural Pool consists of 2 large pools: the shallow-looking left pool and the obviously deep right pool with a diving platform.

While waves crashed in the ocean right in front, the pool inside was calm, and this naturally formed swimming pool was truly special. The water color was so beautiful that it was perfect for photography.

⚠️ Important — If you’re traveling by car, make sure to bring swimwear. It’s also good to prepare water shoes.

The description as a seawater pool created where lava and coastline meet perfectly fit this place. The natural pool is actually an internal lagoon connected to the ocean, so while it’s seawater, it was safe without waves.

Nearby, there was a store selling many things including snorkeling equipment, towels, food supplies, and drinks. If you forgot to prepare anything, you can purchase it there.

In the afternoon, we also stopped by Two Lovers Point Observatory. 💬 Frequently Asked Questions
