The room was spacious but too dark. Although he hotel has recently undertaken a refurbishment, the bathroom was shaddy and the lighting was broken in the living area which made the room even darker. There were both bathtub and shower booth in the room but water kept pouring out of the shower booth and soaked all the area any time we had a shower. Because of this, I decided to use the bathtub instead. However, I had to sit in the tub when taking a shower to avoid water pouring all over the bathroom since there was no curtain for the tub.

I was given the room on the Two lovers point side overlooking the dirty roof of the adjacent building. Morever, our room was very close to TGI's Friday where loud live music was playing until late at night on Saturday. The situation could be different if we were given the room on the other side of the building overlooking the pool area instead.

I had both prime rib&crab dinner buffer on Saturday night and Sunday bruch at the palm cafe. If you have to choose between these two, just go for the Sunday brunch since you can get all kinds of food offered in the dinner buffer and many other food and desserts more with the Sunday brunch.

The location of the hotel is the best in Guam. The beach is white with coral reef not so far away that I didn't need to go too far in the sea to snorkel. However, there were tons of aggressive Picasso fish which was very scary and annoying. The pool area of the hotel looked like a jungle which was very charming.

Hertz rent-a-car is on the lobby level of the hotel which is very convenient to those thinking of hiring a car.

Our plan included breakfast buffet and free airport shuttle service.

Although the room is not so impressive, I would definitely come back to this hotel again because of its great location, food and convenience.

Let's start with the negatives. We were able to check in quite late. It was almost 3pm when our rooms became available and considering that we got there before 6am (although we just left our luggages and proceeded to shop in Kmart and the Outlet Stores) and expected to be able to check in by 2pm, the wait seemed longer. You should expect a similar experience if you plan to stay there during peak season. (Note: we were not the only ones waiting to check in.)

The internet connection comes and goes. There were times when my phone could not detect the wi-fi.

Also, the next morning, there was a waiting line for the buffet breakfast as there was not enough space to accommodate the guests.

Of course, the negatives are probably the result of too many people wanting to stay at the Outrigger. Here are the reasons why.

First, it's located in the middle of all the nice shops. There's The Plaza within the hotel compound, the DFS Galleria across the street, and the Tumon Sands and JP Superstore which are both several meters away. There are also restaurants nearby. It's also very near the beach.

Our room was very nice, spacious and seemed to have everything we needed (including a coffee maker). It had a nice view of the beach. The bed was one of the most comfortable beds I have ever been on that I was tempted to ask for the brand of the mattress. The bathroom was spacious and complete with the usual supplies. I love the window panels (instead of drapes). They really bring character to the room. Plus, they make the room really dark if you want to sleep during the day.

The staff in the reception and buffet were very friendly and helpful.

The buffet breakfast was quite good. I wish they had more variety from one day to another though. Also, the omelette station was not impressive at all.

And perhaps to make up for the late check in (or maybe because there were not too many guests checking in at the time), we were allowed to check out at almost 4pm.

Over all, I really enjoyed my stay at the Outrigger.

Stayed four wonderful (and affordable) nights at the Outrigger in Guam. Our first hotel stay in Guam -we are usually long term condo stayers. Expected the worst but got the very best! Deluxe Ocean View Room (10F) facing south. Recommend that side - but stay on the north side if you don't want the hot sun. Internet wifi is free. Breakfast buffet included. Buffet was so good we never went to Sunday Brunch as planned. Check in and out took only 30-40 seconds!! Housekeeing was great. Room was clean and well appointed. Beds were the BEST we have ever slept on. Pool area well disigned and never feels crowded. Nice Jaccuzzi by pool too. Never had to call the front desk once for anything and that says a lot in a place like Guam which is occasionally rough on the edges (see our review of one night at the Aurora Resort). Strongly recommend this for your stay.

The Outrigger was a beautifully appointed place centrally located in the heart of the Tumon Bay. I stayed in a suite and all I can say was wow! The decor was really hip and modern, the robes and sandals were a welcome delight. The buffet at Outrigger was an affordable price and very delicious. The pool was clean and inviting and the beach was right out the back door. Parking in the garage was easy enough with the huge truck i had as well.
