Not speaking with I've-been-there authority (nor have I done a Search on here - have you?), but Jamaica is not tiki, so I wouldn't expect it to have tiki.

Now, an enterprising bar-owner may have tried recently to open a tiki bar, but more than likely it will play reggae.

Hence, it ceases to be a tiki bar.
It becomes "a tropical bar" or "an island bar."

(NOT that it is IMPOSSIBLE to have the occasional Bob Marley song heard in your private tiki lounge and have it still be called a tiki bar, buuuuut....)

A palapa and palm trees does not a tiki bar make. It's a good start, but "if it says tiki on it, it better have a tiki on/in it."

None of which means, of course, that you couldn't have a WONderful honeymoon in Jamaica! Congratulations!!
