The series was filmed at the real-life Turtle Bay Resort near Kahuku, Oahu, which stood in for the fictional Grand Waimea Hotel and Resort.

Fox gave the show an initial 13-episode commitment before it premiered on June 14, 2004.

The series was canceled in January 2005 after a single season of 21 episodes.

The show ended on a cliffhanger, and its final episode has only aired once, never being broadcast in most territories including the United States.

Jason Momoa played hotel bartender Frankie Seau, one of his early television roles before he became widely known.

Dominic Purcell appeared in a recurring role as Tommy Ravetto.

Shannen Doherty joined the cast as Alexandra Hudson, presented as Walter Booth's illegitimate daughter and thus Nicole's half-sister.

Critics at the time described the show as a 'cardboard drama' lacking relatable characters, arguing it needed a better balance of escapism and realism.
