Ralph DLG Torres, more units to accommodate guest are always welcome and Palms Pacific Resort is unique compared to all the others around Saipan.<\/p>\n<p>Right off the bat, he noticed that the area is quiet and doesn\u2019t overlook the beaches, like what all the other resorts aim to do.<\/p>\n<p>Marianas Visitors Authority managing director Chris Concepcion also welcomed the new resort, saying this will ultimately redound to the good of Saipan\u2019s tourism industry.<\/p>\n<p>Concepcion said that if there are more hotel rooms for occupancy, Saipan could accommodate more tourists. <\/p>\n<p>Concepcion is excited for the opportunity to work with the newly established resort. <\/p>\n<p>Palms Pacific Resort offers an array of activities such as tennis, swimming, an instructional diving pool, and more. It will be working with local tour agencies. <\/p>\n<p>The Palms Pacific Resort is the first hotel investment of the Palms Pacific Corp. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For those seeking a discreet location that feels like home, the new Palms Pacific Resort&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":24,"featured_media":264721,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[900],"tags":[19102,19103,19104,19105],"class_list":["post-264715","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-featured","tag-dianne-torres","tag-min-seo-kwon","tag-palms-pacific-corp","tag-palms-pacific-resort"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/264715","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/24"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=264715"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/264715\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/264721"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=264715"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=264715"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=264715"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
