This seven-story, 150-room hotel had a fantastic Polynesian front entrance and theming when it first opened under the auspices of the Best Western chain in 1972.
Although the majority of the property was a generic white-washed multi-story building, the lava rock facia along the ground floor and the grand port cochere entrance transformed it.
Today, the port cochere has been removed, and the white-washed multi-story building remains the same, but there is still some lava rock on the ground floor.
The site is now re-named the Islander Beach Resort.
