I am in New Zealand now, take her here. Who cares about some stupid hotel in the shape of a palm tree? You'll appreciate being gobsmacked by natural wonders instead. If you're in Europe you can fly LHR-LAX-AKL on Air NZ if you are worried about transiting in a country because she is trans, you could also fly LHR/FRA/MUC/ZRH/CPH/CDG-BKK-AKL and no one is going to bat an eye about it at BKK.
If she cares about an aquarium you can take her to our world famous one in Monterey.
