1961, Ray Smith, a Texas oil tycoon, built the Lodge as his "home away from home". In 1965, it
was opened as a fishing lodge named Club de Pesca. In 1968, shortly after Ray Smith's
death, the Club was sold to Edwin Kennedy who renamed it Tropic Star Lodge to correspond
with a "sister Lodge" in Canada known as the Arctic Star Lodge.
Then in 1976, the Lodge was purchased by Conway D. Kittredge of Orlando,
Florida, and is still operated by the Kittredge family. One of his daughters, Terri
Kittredge Andrews, and her husband, Mike Andrews, are Chief Executive Officers and
Operators of Pinas Bay Resorts.
