A friend gave me a copy of the Bali Hai drink menu and this is what it describes as the ingredients of the "World Famous Bali Hai Mai Tai":
"Coruba Jamaican Dark Rum, Ron Rico Light Rum, Orange Liqueur & Sweet n Sour. No Fruit Juice Added! 6.95"

I have to toss my hat in the ring here. I love this drink, even though they are a bit strong. I find that the BH Mai Tai is a little too strong at first, but give it a few minutes with the ice, and they're usually just fine. Having a drink that can handle a little dilution as ice melts is important if you're not suckin 'em up. They are definitely not drinks for chugging. Unless you want to get wrecked, of course.
If you're not sure whether you got a bad one, you can always try making one yourself. There's a recipe floating around here with the actual proportions. Here we go:

1 oz Light rum (I used Mt. Gay)
1 oz Meyers Origional Dark rum
1/2 oz Triple Sec
1/2 oz Oregeat
1 oz sweet & sour

Fill 14 oz glass to the top with shaved ice. Pour in the rums, triple sec, orgeat and spash it with a little sweet and sour (maybe an ounce..). Stir to mix and Garnish.

I'm guessing you probably got a bad bartender.
