The Polynesian Press Release

The “South Sea” hotel was going to have 840 rooms in a motel complex along with 250 rooms with private gardens. That concept evolved into the 12-story, 700-room “Polynesian-style” resort. This high rise structure would also feature two-story “out-buildings.” All of the rooms were designed to face the water. Guests would “almost literally feel they have traveled to the far Pacific.”
