A destination resort and timeshare lodging development was planned on the mauka-located site along the south shore of this relatively unspoiled Hawaiian island of Molokai.

A market study and financial analysis was prepared, along with strategic marketing considerations, for this planned destination resort development.

Hawaiians first migrated to Molokai about 650 A.D., generally considered to have come first from the Marquesas, then in double hulled canoes from Tahiti and other South Pacific islands.

Most of the history of the first Hawaiians in Molokai comes from chants, passed down from generation to generation, which have kept a chronology of events, battles and lineage. Captain James Cooke signed Molokai in November 1778, on his first visit to the region - the Sandwich Islands as he called them. Captain George Dixon in 1786 was the first European to actually set foot on and visit Molokai.
