Great photo! Love that "lagoon with native hut" landscaping. I bet the pond was not in that pool-blue color initially, and that boxy 2nd floor with the neon on it (dwarfing the A-frame on the left) was added as an afterthought. I always loved those little pointy A-frames on the right, a unique, totally extraneous embellishment not seen anywhere else in Polynesian pop architecture.

Too bad no good image from its early early days survives, it would have gone in the book.
