Given the legacy and history of the Coco Palms, I believe it could be an economic powerhouse for Kauai and a significant tourist draw. However, I also understand the importance of this sacred land to the Hawaiian people. It is my hope that a solution can be found where by the cultural importance of the property can be showcased & celebrated, and the people of Kauai can benefit economically. Mahalo nui loa for the update.
It is an eye sore for sure and gives a bad vibe when driving by. I can't imagine staying there if it was restored because of the road noise. I believe people go to Kauai to have quiet. Mahalo for the video!
I think you used the term grotto mistakenly. Grotto is the Italian term for a cave. You probably meant to call the water feature a lagoon, perhaps, or a manmade river or waterway. Otherwise, I enjoyed the update on the Coco Palms and the restaurant, and thoroughly enjoyed the drone views of the palm grove and hotel buildings. It is truly a one of a kind property with its unique history (pre-hotel and post) and location. Looking forward to its reopening.🤙
Sept 1992 - I was there on Kauai just a few weeks before it happened. I believe they were filming Jurassic Park at that time. We had just visited the Coco Palms and then it was suddenly destroyed. So sad. I remember the torch lighting ceremony while we had dinner.

I thought, for sure, it would've been torn down by now. Interesting video.
Lots of people have those same feelings.

Would have loved to stay there in its heyday.
sounds like it was a great place.
