Aloha! OMG it's time to JUMP with joy! One of my favorite 'in love with' resorts in Hawaii since the beginning of time Is Kona Village. Let's say, going back 30 years and our first visit, with the most recent being in October 2010 when the whole office went for a weekend for a company familiarization tour. Then, sadly, in 2011, the tsunami flooded the resort and they closed, and then the pandemic, and they re-opened in 2023. Renee & Susie from California will be blown away in November at this iconic resort, now upgraded to a Rosewood. (Watch out Four Seasons & Auberge). And, shhhhhhhhhh, I'm working on my own 'fam tour' so I can bring you the experience, feel and photos of the new Kona Village from the perspective of a 30 year Kona Village love affair. In the meantime, I'm working on finding all the great photos we've taken over the years. Many are on slides. The 2010 photos are here somewhere 🧐. In the meantime, enjoy the Rosewood Kona Village website and some of the resort's history. Celebrating my 50 years in Hawaii with huge aloha in my heart! https://www.rosewoodhotels.com/en/kona-village/media/press-kit/history-fact-sheet #:~:text=In%201965%2C%20Johnno%20Jackson%20and,and%20revered%20to%20this%20day.
