Behold... Puu Pehe, known as “Sweetheart Rock”.

This is Lanai’s most notable landmark and the setting for one of Hawaii’s epic legends.
Story goes a hottie princess from Maui was "captured" by a young warrior from Lanai. He made her his wife and he was so smitten with her beauty and... apparently so insecure that he was afraid to let other men see her so kept her in a sea cave near the rock when he was away. One day the weather suddenly changes, the surf slams the area, and... yup, one less princess. The warrior rushed back to the cave, but it was too late, he climbed the steep rock where he buried her in a tomb and then overcome with grief leapt to his death.

Moral of story might be... um, don't abduct women and lock them in caves.

"The ocean front view was fantastic "

OUTRIGGER Kaanapali Beach Resort

10/10 Excellent

"I absolutely loved this resort...felt like true hawaii...we stayed over Christmas, and it was decorated so cute, the staff sang Chrismas carols outside the room on Christmas morning...it was a very mellow, laid back vibe. We had two ocean view rooms..they were clean and comfy. Walking distance to Whaler's Village and tons of restaurants. Maui Brewing onsite...can't say enough about it. :)"
