...Room. A rare blend of innkeeper and conservationist, Rockefeller has until now specialized in the Caribbean, building quiet, out-of-the-way resorts on Bali-Ha'i beaches with 24-carat accommodations-Caneel Bay on St. John's, Little Dix Bay on Virgin Gorda, Dorado Beach in Puerto Rico. Mauna Kea may prove his biggest resort investment so far. Designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, the hotel is a tiered, four-story structure whose 154 rooms surround palm-filled inner courtyards.

Space was so tight in the top spots that prospective guests at the Rockefeller-owned Dorado Beach Hotel, where rates run to $75 per couple per day, were putting up a $300 deposit just for a reservation. The 160-room Flamboyan Hotel, which opened last week, is already booked through the season.
