Days 1-3 follow the standard 3-day plan. Days 4-5 add Ritidian Beach in the north, the southern Cetti Bay overlook, the Chamorro Village Wednesday Night Market, and a final dinner before departure.
Five days hits the sweet spot for Guam — three days for the major districts, plus two days for nearby destinations that show a different side of the country. The pace stays relaxed, you get more variety in your photo album, and the day trips break up the urban intensity nicely.
