Guam Accommodation
Guam is an island in the western South Pacific Ocean, about three-quarters of the way from Hawaii to the Philippines. (Geographic coordinates: 13 28 N, 144 47 E)
It is the largest and southernmost island in the Mariana Islands archipelago. Guam is a territory of the United States of America. It is considered to occupy a militarily strategic location, south of the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands.
Guam is one of many islands that make up Micronesia, which politically consists of Belau (Palau), the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM), Kiribati (anthropologically having affinities with Polynesia and Micronesia), the Marshall Islands, and several remote islands designated as the U.S.-administered islands of the Central Pacific.
All of Micronesia has close political ties to the United States of America.
The main tourist area is around Tumon Bay, which has a number of high-rise hotels and can be compared to a smaller version of Waikiki even more heavily geared towards Japanese tourists.
Cheaper accommodations exist near the airport, especially around the village of Harmon.
Be aware that Harmon hotels tend to be on the seedier side since Harmon is a mixed industrial/residential neighborhood.
Many of the flights scheduled through Guam to other locations (especially in Asia) often require an overnight layover, so plan ahead. Some hotels offer airport pickup, as taxis can be quite expensive.
