The Hawaiian Village in Florida opened in 1961. It was incorporated in 1967-1987.

It was a massive Polynesian-themed complex featuring not only 246 air-conditioned rooms and a swimming pool, but dining rooms and supper clubs, live shows, a cocktail Tiki lounge and even a golf putting green and coffee shop.

It had a great neon sign and a flaming moai out front as well.

There are also a wealth of collectibles from this location, including mugs, menus, swizzles, etc...

In 1971, the complex was sold to Red Carpet Inns (photo below shows a Red Carpet Inns sign that appears cut and pasted onto an earlier night time photo) and then it was later sold to Days Inn.

This location is now a Westshore Honda dealership.
