The moment you walk through the door you'll notice stylish new design touches, crisp white linens on every bed and a selection of soft and firm pillows in every room.

E komo mai e kanaka. Welcome. Enjoy Paradise. Leave your worldly troubles behind. Everybody else does...

The loving memory of a beautiful life...beloved Boot...how do you sum up 641,605 hours of a man's beautiful life in 2 hours? You can't. You can only let the spirit of love help you understand how every day of our life is a gift from Ke Akua. And every second of Boot's life was a gift to the world... Ua kaʻi ka ʻaha. The prayer is rendered... ...an 'aha aloha, gathering of love...gathering of spirit... Beautiful dignified strength... ...an ahu of tribute, an expression of love... ...na ʻōpio ʻōlino...brilliant youth... ...sharing memories... ...deep reflection on the value of our lives... ...so many lessons for life in fond remembrances... ...fragile fragrant beauty intertwined in strands of love binding all of us... ...the memories of time spent together... ...of beautiful things in life learned... ...of shared secrets and revelations... ...of untold gifts of patience and understanding... ...of light hearted gifts of sunshine... ...of a legacy to 'ohana to carry on....
