Solomon's laid back sister resort, the Gizo Hotel offers the "Best
in the West" for those seeking all the adventure and excitement
the Western Province has to offer. Naru Island - Solomon Island Resort's own private paradise Naru Island earnt its place in history when John F Kennedy swam there after being shipwrecked during WW2. Fearing enemy patrols, Kennedy and another survivor stepped carefully through the brush but only saw the wreck of a small Japanese vessel out on the reef. Kennedy and Ross were just walking back onto the beach when they saw two men out at the Japanese wreck. The men, clearly islanders, Gasa and Kumana helped the Americans and left the following message scratched into a green coconut - NAURO ISL COMMANDER . . . NATIVE KNOWS POS'IT . . . HE CAN PILOT . . . 11 ALIVE NEED SMALL BOAT . . . KENNEDY Today Naru Island is owned by Solomon Islands Resorts, the largest chain of resorts in the Solomon Islands.
