Love the history of this place. To have it reopen some day with it's old charm would be great. Any news on the current status?
I'm so very glad that the wonderful Coco Palms is being rebuilt and reopened ! I stayed at the original hotel several times before it was destroyed by the typhoon. Every time that I've been back to Kauai since then I've been saddened when driving by the ruins of that wonderful hotel. I can't wait for the reopening, and only hope that the new iteration isn't priced out the range of most folks. Congratulations, Coco Palms !
In 1979, my family and I and my best friend from high school traveled to Hawaii for 16 days for our high school graduation. One of our favorite stays was at the Coco Palms! Back then, the TV show, Fantasy Island was filmed there, and we got a chance to see many of the stars from the show, and the red island vehicles throughout the compound! I even met "Tatoo" in the gift shop/party store that was on the property. Like others, I fondly remember the nightly torch-lighting ceremonies, the palm grove with the long straight lines of trees, the outdoor showers and the big clam shell sinks in the bathrooms. I'm excited to hear that the property is being renovated!! I'm actually visiting O'ahu this week and hoping to come back to Hawaii again with my wife (who, by the way stayed at the Coco Palms as a kid, too... we just didn't know each other then) and stay once the renovations are complete!! Congratulations on this excellent project!!
On the island at a nearby resort and can't wait to come back and stay at the Coco Palms!! I can think of a better incentive to return!
Coco Palms is a HUGE childhood memory. I stayed there a few times with my father, as it was his favorite resort. The memory of the men running with fire on chains that they swung with perfect precision to light the torches of the walkways all around the resort was a sight to see. I remember a clear as day the leopard with ruby eyes as a table in our chalet, and the out side garden shower with flowers all around. And Eating above the lagoon with all the fish that just seemed to be begging for you to throw some food their way. And that church, what a perfect little chapel in the middle of the palm forest. I do hope the renovations keep true to its original glory. I have a lot of film footage from are stays there If Hyatt needs any archives of the feel of the original Coco Palm. Let me know I would be happy to share. I hope to see you in 2018 Coco Palms!!!!
