The Grotto

Booked last minute and was immediately given instructions to check in. The hotel is more a self service but that’s exactly what I needed for my diving lesson. Rooms are spacious, clean and comfortable. The location is phenomenal, central of all the restaurants and walks from the beach. The staff was friendly and accommodating.

The most comfortable beds in Saipan. The staff is incredible and works hard to make sure everything is perfect. You will not regret your stay. The restaurant will please any appetite.

This is probably the best hotel on island. We’ve stayed in different properties over the years, but ARC is the most genuine and Saipan-like. The staff are always ready to work for you and are super pleasant and professional. The food is totally decent and the bar is absolutely capable. We had Sunday brunch which was great plus they serve actual champagne for the free flow!! The rooms are comfortable if a wee dark. Everything is clean but perhaps a bit dated. But it’s Saipan! The location is ideal, far from the gritty Garapan but close enough to pop in for dinner and shopping. We love being so close to our fave beach. Wish the hotel will put a little more effort into the pool area, like more loungers and table’s with shade for dining. Bar service at the loungers? Oh, and clean those loungers!!! Beach view and access is blocked unnecessarily from pool area too. But the staff is amazing, and Saipan’s charns make everything all right!
