The hotel seems to play down the Tikis on the grounds, and there's probably less than on the grounds of the Red Lion Hanalei, but there're still there:

From an article in the San Diego Union-Tribune, 13 Nov 2003:

At the Catamaran, the most impressive specimens sit in display cases, out of reach, un-rubables. But the directional signs on the resort's lush grounds are attached to tikis, and Menkin identifies each one.

"The iguana tikis."

"A fertility tiki."

"The pirate tikis."

I'm looking for a good image of the beautiful tapa cloth over the front desk, you can see small images of it on their webpage on the Resort Tour or Panoramic Photos pages.
