I wish we could see more videos like this, of all types of business leaders, to get insight into what and how they think

[@noellerichardson20]

This hotel is truly amazing! We stayed there a month ago and fell in love with this hotel.

[@nomasnomore808]

Born and raised on kauai. My father was the Santander engineer for that hotel in the late 80s to iniki. This interview is fucking wild!!!

[@terry2588]

Great visionary Hello from New Orleans 👍🏽👍🏽

[@SaltwaterCamping-ik9bu]

The One Hotel overlooks hanalei bay, it is beautiful there

[@inhale.exhale.2527]

atd. attention to detail. 👌 don't know about the turtle tho ... 🤔

[@chrismawson1]

Having been to the St Regis in Hanalei a few times previously, these “upgrades” look like they’ve put a veneer of “eco” on top of what was already there. That sand on the floor boards is hokey AF. Kaua’i is full of natural beauty, this just feels a little tacky.

[@globalluxurytravel1]

It's the minor details like this that I look at when I pre vet hotels / resorts for my luxury portfolio for my agency. I have a small group of agents who are interested in visiting and experiencing your property for a FAM this August 2024. Who can we coordinate with? Will these changes you mentioned be made?

[@gabrielbatiz8168]

This guy gets it, clear see why the success

[@kauaiwithanne3134]

All I heard is why he doesn't like it. The north shore of Kauai the and views from 1 Hanalei...most beautiful place in the world.

[@connorroach538]

You can never get enough of what you don’t need

[@jansmith3158]

Hotel looks more Bali style than Hawaiian.

[@its-all-good]

Agreed. Stayed there when it the Princeville Resort and watched as the St. Regis and now 1 Hotel Hanalei Bay kill the Hawaiian vibes over the change in ownerships. This may be the reason, they are having trouble keeping it filled. This guy is too much into his own vision and must be pain to work for.

[@chuna-fish]

looks pretty empty. cool video though!

[@Josh-lg7tr]

Ve seen way nicer. Kind of cheesy design lol sand on the floor and shit ahaha
