'As a child, I visited this island paradise many times. Could the new version, the latest from Rosewood Hotels and Resorts, live up to my memories?' shares writer Chloe Schama.
In the early ’90s, my family began going to a resort on the northwest coast of the Big Island of Hawaii. This wasn’t a likely destination; we lived in Boston at the time, where people went to Florida or the Caribbean when they wanted to thaw. But my father, as he recalls it, had seen an ad in the back pages of, and something about the image—not much bigger than a postage stamp, but promising an expansive world beyond—appealed to him from the snow-bound northeast.
The journey was long. My parents bought us our first Game Boy to occupy us on the flight, and when the plane finally descended over the scorched lava fields surrounding the airport at Keāhole, my father was struck by nerves: What was this forsaken landscape? There were no walls to the homely airport—there still aren’t—and you could feel your brittle winter bones warming as soon as you stepped off the plane.
When Jackson opened his resort in 1963, there were 50 hales—freestanding huts, thatched with ti leaves—that made up the guest quarters. Over the years the number would grow. Many of them were perched on stilts over the lava cliffs; deeper in the resort, they hovered above the lagoon, a traditional fishing hole that had been converted into an amoeba-shaped pond where black swans did lazy laps and peacocks strutted the perimeter.
