Originally created by Gene Levitt, Fantasy Island<\/em> is a fantasy drama series that originally ran from 1977 to 1984. The series starred Ricardo Montalban as the mysterious Mr. Roarke, the overseer of an enigmatic island resort that allows guests to live out their wildest fantasies \u2014 for a price.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although the original series came to a close in 1984, someone\u2019s greatest fantasy must have been a revival. Because that\u2019s exactly what we got in 2021. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fantasy Island returned to screens in August 2021 with a sequel series starring Rosalyn Sanchez as Elena Roarke, one of Mr. Roarke\u2019s descendants. She\u2019s back to carry out the family business of granting fantasies with a Monkey\u2019s Paw twist. And the new revival series also showcased some new filming locations<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The original “Fantasy Island” <\/em>series was filmed primarily in Burbank, CA<\/a>. Although shots of Hawaii brought tropical beauty to the show\u2019s opening sequence, filming for the show didn\u2019t take place there. Hollywood<\/a> was the hub for filming.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The famous white house with the bell tower is the historic Queen Anne Cottage<\/a> in Los Angeles<\/a>. Long before Tattoo ever rang the bell, the cottage was home to wealthy land baron Elias Jackson “Lucky” Baldwin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can visit it at the Los Angeles Arboretum and Botanic Gardens<\/a> in Arcadia. Filming for some outdoor scenes also took place on the Arboretum grounds. Otherwise, most filming for the show took place on Warner Brother\u2019s sound stages<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the original series relied mainly on Hollywood magic, the revival series demanded something more authentic.\u00a0The 2021 <\/em>“Fantasy Island” series was filmed on location in beautiful Puerto Rico. According to Republic World<\/a>, locations like Rio Grande, San Juan, and Old St. Juan were premier filming destinations.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FIlming for some outdoor scenes took place at Escambr\u00f3n Marine Park<\/a>, a popular recreational park known for its gorgeous water. For scenes set in the city, the production was mainly filmed in Santurce, one of the largest barrios on the island. Filming also took place at Miramar, a sub-barrio of Santurce. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 2021 revival also chose a new location for the “Fantasy Island” <\/em>resort headquarters. And if you\u2019re in the neighborhood, you can stop by and fulfill a fantasy or two of your own.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
