Family of 19 visiting after 30 years of being away. It was our lifelong dream to have our Children and Grandchildren connect with our heritage and roots. Valley of the Latte enhanced that experience. All the staff were wonderful! Thank you for helping us build lifelong memories! Dave Cruz
Everyone in the Valley of the Latte crew were friendly and accommodating. We were family of 19. As natives of Guam and being Patriarch and Matriarch of this clan we so appreciated the cultural experience our family went through. After 30 years of being off Island this was a dream come true to have our children and grandchildren reconnect to our roots. With heartfelt gratitude we thank you!
We took the Adventure Cruise Tour with a large family group of 19. Not only did they do a great job accommodating our big group, but they also made the experience overall a major highlight of our two weeks in Guam. Tori and Pineapple Ben did a great job sharing in cultural demonstrations and knowledge, including dance and fire starting. Captain Andy and Kannai were also fun and knowledgeable and made the trip memorable overall. While our family is from Guam, we still learned a lot, and had a great time doing it. This was a multigenerational family outing with people of all ages, and everyone loved it. Thank you for the experience!
