& Wine Dine Your Valentine
By Josie Moyer
W
ith Valentine’s Day just around the corner, it’s best not to wait until it’s too late to make reservations if you’re planning a romantic night out at a restaurant. Here are some ideas on where to go to wine and dine your Valentine.
Underwater World Tunnel of Love
Sunset at World Cafe
For an enchanting evening under the sea, wine and dine with your sweetheart in one of the longest aquarium tunnels in the world, peacefully surrounded by more than 2,000 animals representing more than 80 different species—many of which are native to Guam and the Mariana Islands.
On any given night, the World Café at Fiesta Resort Guam offers an expansive buffet of international cuisine and some of the best seats in Tumon to watch the sunset. The restaurant boasts an authentic show kitchen where guests can observe chefs creating dishes, an on-site bakery for the best in fresh baked breads and pastries, and a diverse contemporary menu featuring cuisines from around the world.
In the Tunnel of Love at Underwater World, an elegant four-course dinner will be served, paired with your choice of Clos du Bois or Heineken. A single rose will be presented to your table, and guests will receive a special couples gift and souvenir photo of the evening presented in a love frame. Inside the aquarium tank, Underwater World divers swim up to your table and deliver a personal love note to your sweetie.
For Valentine’s Day, The World Café is beefing up their all-star buffet lineup with their famous roasted prime rib, lasagna, snow crab legs, tuna poki, tempura, freshly-made pasta and much more. Dinner guests will receive a complimentary glass of a special Valentine cocktail and bottomless iced tea, juice and coffee. Reserve one of the tables that overlook the pool and beach and as the sun sets over Tumon Bay, share a toast to your everlasting love.
Dinner: 6:00pm–7:30pm or 8:30pm–10:00pm Call 649-9191 for reservations
Dinner: 6pm–10pm Call 646-5880 ext. 1700 for reservations

Encore! A Magical Extravaganza If you time your dinner at The World Cafe just right, afterwards you can catch Guam’s newest entertainment show: Encore! A Magical Extravaganza. Master magician and illusionist Anthony Reed has returned with a brand new show, this time teaming up with the comedy of Mr. Robb and the circus artistry of Duo Romanesc. Together they present a dynamic evening of thrilling magic and illusions, laugh-out-loud comedy, wondrous feats of the human body, and Guam’s only baby white lion. Encore! has captivated audiences since its recent debut and has already racked up an average 5-star rating among locals and tourists on Trip Advisor. Anthony Reed is certainly no stranger to magic in the Marianas, and he has received international acclaim and is recognized as one of the most exciting performers in the world today. He’s made jaw-dropping appearances on the hit television show America’s Got Talent and was also invited to appear on NBC’s primetime show The World’s Most Dangerous Magic II. Enjoy a magical evening with your Valentine and a show you won’t forget. Adult tickets include a complimentary beverage. Additional beverages and snacks are available for purchase. Show times: 6pm and 8:30pm Call 647-7227 for reservations

There is no better way to capture the sparkle in your beloved’s eyes than with brand new jewelry. It will be both an unforgettable gift, and add a new meaning to the phrase, “I love you.” This Valentine’s Day, find inspiration in Lin’s Jewelry Store at the Micronesia Mall. Established on Guam since 1977, it would be no surprise why they have earned the reputation as the most trustworthy local store for their high quality jewelry and, best of all, their special sales! “Lin’s will have several deals for Valentine’s Day,” said Dudy Clariza, Manager of Lin’s. For starters, all engagement rings and wedding sets will be on sale. “Customers are encouraged to physically visit the store because we provide a ‘Special Coupon,’ which gives an additional discount on items already on sale,” said Clariza.
Sparkle MAKE THE
LAST
By Cheerful Catunao
Valentine’s Day is the best time to get diamonds, 10-karat and 14-karat gold pieces, because you can expect some to be up to 60% off at Lin’s. Clariza also states that on Valentine’s Day, Lin’s has heart shaped jewelry that is typically already on sale, and an additional discount is added to help make the occasion even more exceptional.
{

A perk to buying jewelry at Lin’s is the free shining for all newly bought jewelry. Additionally, as a small gesture of appreciation, they provides lifetime cleaning and maintenance, such as ensuring that gemstones are secured, for all Lin’s bought jewelry—FOR FREE!
For those trying to pick out the perfect color gold for a necklace, ring, or ear rings, here are some words of advice: “White gold has been a favorite in the past, but we are seeing a revival in yellow gold. It’s making a comeback as a popular item,” says Clariza. If there is one thing you want to know for certain for Valentine’s Day, it’s that you can give the gift of love through a piece of sparkling new jewelry at Lin’s.`

SOUTHERN SANCTUARY By Josie Moyer
N
estled in a quiet neighborhood in Yona, this 1,672 sq ft property features a private garden of tropical flowers and fruit-bearing trees, three cozy outdoor areas for relaxing and entertaining, an enchanting tree house, and a spa-like outdoor shower and bathroom. And that’s just the outside! Located just 20 minutes from downtown Hagåtña, this beautifully upgraded 4-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom oasis features lofty vaulted ceilings, ceramic tile flooring and a light-filled open layout. The beautifully designed kitchen is accented with granite countertops, a vibrant tiled backsplash, modern stainless steel appliances and a breakfast bar. The kitchen is adjacent to the spacious and comfortable dining and living space, with a sliding door that opens up to a delightful patio framed by a charming vine-filled trellis.
A wide, pitched hallway leads to four bedrooms and a full bathroom. The second full bathroom is attached to the large master suite that features loads of closet space and an oversized shower. Bedrooms are outfitted with built-in closets and energy-efficient split air conditioning. An enclosed laundry room, half-bathroom and storage room are just a few steps from the covered carport, all of which are quickly and easily accessible from the kitchen. Out back is a partially fenced private retreat that beckons relaxation and outdoor entertaining. In addition to the patio just off the living room, this home offers two other covered patio areas that provide the perfect atmosphere for outdoor entertaining, dining and relaxing, complete with an outdoor refrigerator, half-bathroom and outdoor shower area. Various fruit trees line the large, resort-like backyard including mango, papaya, star fruit, dragon fruit, calamansi, coconut, fig and more. For the green thumb, there is plenty of yard space for planting and there’s even a tree house for the kids.
Whether you have a family or run a business from home, you’ll have room to move and grow within 1,452 sq ft of living space. With major appliances included in the purchase–refrigerator, stove, washer, dryer, and a bonus outdoor refrigerator–and extras such as typhoon shutters and mail delivery, this lovingly-maintained home is move-in ready.
To make an appointment for a viewing or for more information about MLS #15-3665, contact Marilou Lacson of Coral Sea Realty at 988-5600 or email: marilou@lacson.net. Priced at just $277,000, this southern gem will sell quickly.
