Let's see: All the elements of Polynesian pop were there BEFORE Tiki style. They were the stage that the Tiki appeared on. Without the Tiki they would have been BORING, because they had been going on for generations. In Tiki style, all those concepts were pushed to the peak. Tiki style is the culmination of Polynesian Pop. Mid-century modern, non-bamboo places that used Tikis are called Tiki Modern. If Don's used a Tiki, it was an EXCEPTION to its otherwise Beachcomber look. I never said the Kalua Room was not "Tiki" it was Tiki ahead of its time. IF IT SAYS TIKI ON IT, IT SHOULD HAVE TIKI IN IT!
