So, I gotta tell you about this Kim Wae Hotel thing. Sounds fancy, right? Well, it kinda is, but it’s also a bit of a made-up place, at least for some TV show or movie. Anyway, I got interested in it.
First thing I did was, you know, hit up Google. Found out that this Kim Wae Hotel is supposed to be some awesome Caribbean resort in Barbados, with a private beach and everything. Looks amazing, all right. I’m already picturing myself there, sipping something cold, no worries in the world.
Then, I started digging a bit deeper. Turns out, the name “Kim Wae” is just for the show. They actually filmed some of it at a place called Kapaa Quarry Rd, which doesn’t sound nearly as glamorous. But hey, movie magic, right?
Next, I got curious about where they really shot this thing. It seems like they used a bunch of different spots around Waikiki and Honolulu, in Hawaii. These places, the real hotels, they’re probably pretty nice, too. Just not called Kim Wae.
Here’s what I figured out:
- The Kim Wae Hotel is fictional: At least, the name is.
- Barbados setting: That’s the idea, a fancy Caribbean vibe.
- Hawaii filming: That’s where they actually shot the scenes.
- Multiple locations: They used a few different resorts, not just one.
So, basically, I started out thinking this Kim Wae Hotel was a real place, then I found out it was all part of some production that was filmed in Hawaii in late 2022 with the working title “Honeymoon Friends”. They made it look like the Caribbean, and I almost bought it. It’s kinda cool how they do that, right? Make you think you’re seeing one thing, but it’s really somewhere else entirely. Anyway, that’s my little adventure with the Kim Wae Hotel. It was fun while it lasted.
