That's another reason for me to go. FYI: the same hotel also had (has) a Polynesian Room of which there are several large chrome postcards featuring various hula shows and a luau buffet. The orignal Wreck Bar was at the now departed Castaways motel in Miami which was -- as has been reported by Bigbrotiki -- a notorious party spot in the sixties. For example, their ad in the 1969 AAA TourBook promoted nude sunbathing at the motel. How's that for an authentic South Seas atmosphere!!!? The Castaways also had a Tahitian Bar (Maybe the bar was only topless). Unfortunately, I have never seen any images of the Tahitian bar, but I have a couple of the swizzles. Final note: Davy Jones Locker in Waikiki had/has a bar with an underwater view of the swimming pool.
