Coco Palms Tour-9-22-20

[@BjørnKnudsen-z3l]

Always nice to follow you Bob... Still have our great tour of Coco Palm in my head from last September. Thank You

[@gayladawn4329]

I just came from Kauai and had no idea that the old decrepit building I saw along the highway was this building used in Blue Hawaii. This was so interesting. Thank you so much for documenting this.

[@pikiwiki]

the architect who designed the property, Pete Wimberly, knew the value of fixing a sense of atmosphere to a location. That is what inspired him to use giant clam shells as wash basins in the bathrooms. It made people feel as if they had really gone to an exotic place

Excellent tour uncle. Thank you.

[@matthewpminser]

Thank you so much for creating and posting this tour. Very interesting to see and to hear your telling of the history.

Took your tour 2 years ago..one of my favorite memories of Kauai..thanks for being there!

[@scottramsey451]

Hey Bob, thanks for keeping the love alive. Hoping to get back on island for Christmas. Hang in there and I'll call if we get back this winter. Mahalo!

[@ScottDLR]

We stayed in the area about 6 years ago and became enamored with the story of Coco Palms. I check it out every few months in hope that something has moved forward. This was just a wonderful tour. Thank you so much Bob. Mahalo!

Thank you Scott. If you are interested I put out a two hour documentary of the Coco Palms last year. It was filmed prior to the partial demolition of the hotel. It is on eBay and is called The Coco Palms Then and Now. It includes my full tour and interviews and also old footage of the property and ceremonies. www.ebay.com/itm/164408581358

Thank you Bob for the tour. It must have been a beautiful place, so sad. Passed it many times from our stay there. We were in Kauai at the end of May beginning of June our third time there. Do you know if they plan on rebuilding Coco Palms ? Beautiful island, saw Larry Rivera live on the island perform. Thank you !

This is a really neat video. Coco Palms isn’t anywhere I’ve ever visited or was even aware of, but I find old hotels, motels, and resorts very interesting for some reasons. Maybe it has to do with knowing a certain space once provided some very happy and wonderful times for so many people. Thank you for sharing your video.

[@skatee99]

As others: I must thank you so much for this post! I was never really interested in this subject, since it was way before my time. Yet ironically, I learned about it a few years ago via, a South Park episode, called, "Going Native". (Sixteenth Season - episode 11) Even if you don't like South Park, or think it to be crude (which it IS), their parody of the whole Hawaiian life style is spot on and priceless. Anyway, The Coco Palms is featured in this episode, (along, with the ghost of Elvis!), so, after seeing that, I HAD to begin to look into this FACINATING place. One you do, you really get sucked into it. If only there was a way to help bring it back to it's rightful grandor, . . .

My heart is broken to see this beautiful place. I was there on vacation left the night before Hurricane Nikki hit

[@davearlen3362]

Much Mahalo Bob... Great work I appreciate it so much...! Really enjoyed it...!

[@bgstrait]

fascinating!!! Thank you for taking us along! I was able to see a little in the winter of 2020 before the shut down but was too nervous to go further than the shell building and lobby. Didn't know where I was going and didn't want to get in trouble!! :) Would love to take a tour with you next winter when I visit in 2022!

[@bgstrait]

Just ordered your documentary! Looking forward to viewing it

[@montevproductions]

Thank you for the video! I did your tour in Dec 2015 & it was so much fun. I love all this history of Coco Palms. Keep the updates coming. I am sad they knocked the bungalows down. I am glad I got to see them! Cheers!

[@loriu991]

Great job on the video. Mahalo Bob.

[@alohastateofmind3565]

I brought a fallen coconut back from the Coco Palms property last time I did your tour. Mahalo

[@mnoftzger]

Thanks for sharing Bob. Hate missing our visit to Kauai this October. Stay safe.

RIP Uncle Larry. Love the mask!

[@JurassicJordan808]

Great video Bob im so sad about the bridge but really glad to have seen it this year with you.

[@firstaid4film]

It was such a beautiful place back in the day.

[@codyaustin3841]

I love your video, mahalo!

[@jasonbabila6006]

I was hoping Coco Palms would be rebuilt.

[@randallanthony1794]

excellent

[@satin1977]

Hey Bob! LOVE this!! Are you still doing tours at the Coco Palms? I would love an in person tour! Hope to be on the island later this month or the beginning of August. I heard about the auction though and so I wasn’t sure if that would put an end to it and if you were still doing live tours now or not... 🙏🏻 Thank you!

[@CocoPalmsResortKauai]

Aloha Julia...check with me closer to the end of the month. I'm not 100% sure if I'll even be on the island. You can get in touch with me at the email address in the 'about' section of this channel. Mahalo :)

[@satin1977]

Coco Palms Resort Kaua'i thanks so much for getting back with me! I’ll check for the email!

In the retail stores I remember the two girls who worked at the ice cream shop there; both blond goddesses '74

So sad to see all that beauty decay. His voice is sad too.

[@donjones3620]

Is this in Las Vegas?

[@CocoPalmsResortKauai]

This hotel is on the Hawaiian island of Kaua'i.

[@donjones3620]

@@CocoPalmsResortKauai I would love to see 1 day But I'm kinda scare also I'm 72 and I've always heard that Hawaiian people aren't very friendly to outsiders!

[@CocoPalmsResortKauai]

@@donjones3620 I'm 77 and I do the tours. Nobody bothers anybody.

[@donjones3620]

@@CocoPalmsResortKauaiOk but what I'm saying is On the islands people are not friendly to outsiders! So I don't know if I should visit if people in general are going to be not friendly to me!
