Description

The Coco Palms was the oldest hotel on the more isolated and pristine Island of Kauai and was made famous by Elvis Presley's film Blue Hawaii. Its history, however, stretches far into Kauai's past, before even Elvis crooned his way into Joan Blackman's heart. Since the 13th century, the area around the Coco Palms resort was the home of Ali'i (royalty) until Kauai's last monarch was overthrown. The current resort of Coco Palms was struck hard by Hurricane Iniki in 1992, and has been shut down ever since. However, renovations have been underway for some time now, and in 2007-2008, the hotel will be reopened (complete with Elvis museum). With luck, people will be able to enjoy its coconut groves and picturesque lagoons in the near future.
