Coco Palms Hotel

[Jonnie Santos]

...we're watching Blue Hawaii on a lazy Sunday here in San Diego, and
I'm surfing the net reading about the Coco Palms Hotel in Kauai.

I thought it is interesting about the rift between the native Hawaiians
and the developers.

Anything new on the subject? (just curious)

Construction is starting this year to be completed in '07.

The piece I was really interested in was...

Quote from the Star Bulletin --> "Although Weiser has won over most
critics of the project, a handful of Hawaiian activists protested the
plans for the hotel yesterday."

Quote from the Star Bulletin --> "They want the property, which was
the home of Deborah Kapule, wife of King Kaumualii and the last reigning
queen of Kauai, preserved as a cultural park, even though there are no
funds to build one."
