The Paxau Resort was a holodeck programme created by Neelix, modelled on a Talaxian holiday spot, which served as the Voyager crew's main recreational setting during the third season.
Neelix unveils the programme in Warlord, basing it on a resort he remembers from Talax. The crew quickly adjust it to their own tastes, adding holographic hosts, a volleyball court and tropical touches that make it feel more like a Polynesian beach.
The resort replaces Chez Sandrine as the regular gathering place. It is the venue for the luau in Alter Ego, where Harry Kim and then Tuvok become entangled with Marayna, a hologram who turns out to be controlled by a lonely alien on a nearby station.
The setting turns up in several other third-season episodes before giving way to later programmes such as Leonardo da Vinci's workshop, Captain Proton and Fair Haven.
