Coco Palms was magic, just magic. We owned a summer condo across the street and I spent hours and hours of my life on the grounds. The canal that Elvis floated down in Blue Hawaii was stocked with fish and the hotel put out bamboo fishing poles for kids to fish with. What you have no sense of just looking at pictures is how massive the grounds are. It was built on the grounds of a failed coconut orchard and they left most of the trees intact when the hotel was placed there. They have to have full time guards there now not just to keep people out of the rotting hotel but also to keep someone from getting killed from a falling coconut.
