AS LaoLao Bay Golf & Resort marks three decades in the CNMI, its general manager, Ronnie Il-Sik Yeom, is optimistic about the beautiful Kagman resort’s future in the islands’ tourism industry.
He said this is because the resort is committed to giving its guests the best. “Our success is rooted in our commitment to quality, consistency, and respecting the local culture,” he tells Marianas Variety. “We continuously adapt to the needs of our guests and focus on delivering exceptional service, all while preserving the natural beauty of the area.”
The resort, which features 36 holes of golf that boast some of the island’s most spectacular views of Laolao Bay, the golf course’s namesake, is truly a marvel that makes it one of the best sites in the CNMI.
Yeom says visitors to LaoLao Bay Golf & Resort are captivated by its pristine beauty alongside its high-quality golf facilities. Its serene environment allows guests to “fully relax and enjoy nature.”
“LaoLao Bay Golf & Resort stands out due to its stunning oceanfront location and challenging and scenic golf courses,” he says. “Each golf hole offers breathtaking views, and the surrounding natural beauty makes it a memorable experience. We focus on providing an authentic island atmosphere with a touch of luxury.”
Golfers, Yeom says, are people who love the game, and Saipan is where they can play to their heart’s desire.
“Saipan’s perfect climate and the challenging courses at LaoLao Bay allow them to focus solely on golf, providing an ideal environment to fully immerse themselves in the sport,” he says. “Our typical golfer values both challenge and relaxation. They come to escape, recharge, and hone their game. Many are looking for a unique experience that combines sport with leisure and natural beauty.”
LaoLao Bay Golf & Resort is not just for tourists or golfers, though. Anyone in the market for spectacular views with beautiful amenities is welcome to make reservations with the resort.
“We also welcome families, corporate groups, and tourists seeking a luxury getaway,” says Yeom. “The resort’s amenities, such as our dining and facilities, appeal to a broad audience.”
In the coming years, LaoLao Bay Golf & Resort will focus its strategic marketing to attract new and returning guests to its amenities, Yeom says.
“LaoLao Bay [Golf & Resort] has been operating in line with the economic and external trends of the CNMI for the past 30 years, weathering many ups and downs along the way,” he says. “With a team of seasoned veterans who have navigated these waves, we’re prepared for the current challenges. Additionally, with LaoLao Bay joining Hyulim Group in 2023, we are excited to announce…new projects, even in these difficult times. We invite you to watch LaoLao Bay’s transformation beyond a golf resort into a comprehensive golf entertainment destination.”
As the resort gets ready to celebrate 30 years of business, it assures the community that guest satisfaction will remain a priority.
“Our mission at LaoLao Bay Golf & Resort is to consistently deliver our core values to every guest who visits,” Yeom said. “Instead of pushing new projects, our main goal is to keep offering the same quality experience, as we always have, especially during these tough times. Being here to welcome and serve our guests with excellence and integrity remains our top priority.”
