I picked up a few postcards and a brochure from Del Webb's Ocean House.

The first card is a nice rendering that looked strangely familiar....

That's because the architect for the Ocean House was Martin Stern who also designed the Ka'anapali Beach Hotel in Mauai that sported this postcard posted by Uncle Trav (he also did the Kuilima Hotel for Del Webb which has a new post on Locating Tiki).

Obviously the same artist.

The second card is a night shot.

It looks like the two of the three Ku statues shown in the previous photos have been moved to flank the entrance of the pool area. There also appear to be Tiki masks on the wall of the pool area.

Here is a rendering of the Ku Tikis from the brochure.

Will post more of the brochure later.
