The resort today looks nothing like these vintage views. The first card shows the mid-century modern design of the building and the interior of the Aku Aku. Her are a couple of blown up views. Sorry for the bad quality of the scan. Looks to be a velvet painting on the wall flanked by what maybe Witcos. Crossed war clubs or paddles mounted on grass mat with a tiki above can be seen. Float lights, and some other classic lights can be seen hanging. There is a small lounge in the background behind the fish netting. The rattan chairs appear to be the same as the chairs in the newer Porthole Lounge. The main dinning room with a turtle shell on the wall. This is the pool that the Aku Aku looked out on complete with fake palm trees. Another exterior view. Thanks for looking.
