Love those mugs from the Hawaiian Isle, esp the "navy grog" one........
Maybe I'm wrong, and thinking of another place, but on the 1st page of this thread is a shot of the Hawaiian Isle from the street that looks very very familiar. It looks very much like the Ocean Club, which is the "beach part" of the Fairmont Turnberry Isle Resort & Club, located in what is now called Aventura. The Fairmont bought an existing small hotel on the beach and uses it for beach access for guests. There's a pool, bar, and restaurant there. Guests from the Fairmont (and employees) are bused over from the main resort. I don't remember anything about the hotel part--I was only there briefly on a tour--if it's still there or what. However, the street side looks exactly like that with the drive and fence and all, and the entrance looks a lot like what would have been a lobby at one point. Like I said--I could be off but it sure looks a lot alike and the address puts in about in the same area, if my memory serves me. Might be worth looking into??
