Aqua Hotels & Resorts said today it is taking over management of the Hotel Molokai and changing the name to Aqua Hotel Molokai.

Honolulu-based Aqua will manage the hotel for owner Beachtree Properties. Aqua Hotel Molokai, on Kamiloloa Beach, is designed after a Polynesian village and features a variety of accommodation options including garden and ocean front bungalows and a honeymoon suite.
“Aqua Hotels is a great match for this resort,” said George Joosten, Resort Operations Manager of Beachtree Properties. “Their understanding of the islands and lifestyle will surely target and bring the best customers to the island and Hotel Molokai. We share a similar vision and work ethic and are looking forward to a great partnership.”
“Aqua Hotel Molokai offers a natural and rural Hawaiian experience and we are looking forward to pairing it with the urban vibe of our Waikiki boutiques,” said Ben Rafter, Aqua’s President and CEO.
The addition of the Molokai property brings to 14 the number of hotels and resorts managed by Aqua.
