Where Tradition and Innovation Meet

Hawaii’s reverence for its cultural heritage is a hallmark of the island state, and its commitment to preserving traditional practices is palpable. While some locales resist the pull of modernity altogether, most strike a balance between the old and the new.

The Kauai Marriott is a prime example of this fusion. Here, they opt for a more primitive method of forecasting the weather, eschewing scientific meteorological data. Instead, coconuts hang from a sign that details various weather conditions. The coconuts sway in the breeze to signal the wind, providing a charmingly rustic alternative to high-tech gadgets. It’s a testament to Hawaii’s unique blend of tradition and innovation.
