Arrrgh! THE ISLANDS enendangered? This is the holy site that became the receptable for the lost treasures of THE LUAU (read BOT p. 204 and the captons p.205)!
Already, in the late 90's, the A-frame entrance was demolished and replaced with an ugly stucko port cochere. The sign devolution is documented in BOT p. 204

The interior was only halfway screwed up then, the beautiful booths with the BACKLIT Maori carvings and weapons were torn out and a wall was put in for a seperate bland conference room. BUT the main waterfall was left intact, and thus this place remained as the LAST Tiki supperclub in South Cal with waterways traversed by bridges (see BOT P. 66 (sorry for the non-pagination!) the color pic in the upper right corner: I took this in 1995!) During the process some of the major Tikis that had made it from THE LUAU dissappeared...

But now? Somebody please look into it.

SCD, did you check out the courtyard in the hughe rise addition in the back? The Luau entrance hut is now gone, but there are some fine carvings from the Luau (pic BOT p. 205) left, and it is really neat to take the glass elevator to go ABOVE the 20 foot high palm trees and come down into the jungle.
