Designed as an “exotic rendezvous residence for two,” the fare features Polynesian decor luxuriously appointed in mahogany and teak, bamboo-paneled walls, full kitchen and bath conveniences, natural shell lighting and a unique combination dining table-aquarium-fishing platform.

The pineapple in this and nearby bins represents a $45,000 loss to the Dole Company. Forty-nine bins, containing 325 tons of fruit, were marooned on Lanai following a walkout of 44 truck drivers Wednesday in a dispute about who is to put gasoline in the trucks.
