OUUUCH! That hurts deeply. So much for cold hard reality.

Here are the details from a hotel/business perspective: The GM at the Hanalei was told that the renovations had to take place. The property was audited by the parent company and evaluated and one recommendation was to consolidate the restaurants into one larger full-service one with increased seating.

Tiki history? Book of Tiki? Tiki revival? Who? What?

The entire waterway from lobby and into the restaurant is going away...

I was afraid of that. Too high maintenance, of course. This was the only place I know of besides the Chicago Marriott Kona Kai that still had fully working waterways, fed by waterfalls and crossed by Tiki-railed bridges, once a defining feature of classic Tiki supper clubs. Everybody at the last Oasis can be glad they got to see it.
