Coco Palms Hotel and Elvis Presley

Beginning today, I will be posting many images from a series I photographed on the grounds of the old CoCo Palms Hotel and Resort on Kauai. The Coco Palms is where Elvis Presley filmed scenes from Blue Hawaii. I will be posting images of the aging and infamous Bungalo #56 where he stayed. Most of the buildings are ranshackle now. The Coco Palms was damaged during Hurricane Iniki in 1992; been in litigation and changed hands many times since. The present owners have until May 2012 to decide what to do with the property, abandon it, or sell it off. In the meantime, some of these images are also beautiful. You'll find the Coco Palms images in my "Inland Hawaii Gallery."
