Talofa to all of our dear Friends!
On 22 October, the entire Coconuts team, along with many of our family and friends, celebrated the twentieth anniversary of the opening of the Original Beach Club – the forerunner of Coconuts Beach Club Resort & Spa. At that time, the Beach Club consisted only of the Bar, Kitchen, Palm Terrace, and Public Bathrooms. We have indeed come a very long way in twenty years! This photo was taken at the Celebration, and shows Mika, Jennifer & myself sitting at the ‘new’ original Three Stool Bar in paradise.

"Very distinguished list of family, friends, and dignitaries joining us in our wonderful celebration"
We were so pleased to have a very distinguished list of family, friends, and dignitaries joining us in our wonderful celebration. The keynote speech was delivered by none other than the Prime Minister of Samoa, and the Pastor of the Maninoa Methodist Church provided a lovely blessing. This wonderful celebration took place in and around our brand new Dining Room, which is now bigger and better! We enjoyed a wonderful feast followed by a traditional Fiafia celebration from our neighboring village. It was truly a wonderful day and a great celebration for Coconuts. |

We have been VERY busy at Coconuts!
In the month of October, we were able to finish construction of the new roof over the swim-up bar. This is a traditional, thatched roof that is similar to the one that was there before, however, it is now quite a bit higher and very dramatic. Work will continue to be done in and around the pool area, as we construct new thatched-roof shade fales.
The construction of our new Office facility continues, and we hope to be completed with this project by December 15. It will be a welcome relief to be able to centralize our office activities in one place instead of the two temporary locations we currently use. We will also be starting to build our new Reception in about two weeks. It is anticipated that we will work on both the reception and the office building at the same time since they are located quite close to each other.
In the meantime, we are happy to say that we have been running at full capacity with a lot of Returning Nuts . Despite the occasional minor distraction due to the construction activity, we are so happy to be receiving very positive feedback from our guests on their Coconuts experience. We hope to see YOU soon at Coconuts!
Fa’afetai,
Barry Rose |
