Was the hotel you went to the Hyatt by any chance? It was one of the facier hotels in the area that I could tell and had one of the more popular Luau's.

I tried making a traditional Mai Tai even though I knew it wasn't what I was looking for - really, why the hell wouldn't I? Some substitutions were made such as Realime instead of fresh squeezed and the rum I used was Appleton's V/X. Ended being really limey and "weird". I think too much lime AND too much orgeat was the culperit but under all that I tasted a pretty good drink if I toned those 2 things down.

I'm rather anxious to "find" this recipe and even went as far as to see if the Hyatt had a general email address as a long shot but no luck. I'm thinking this pasionfruit mix might be a good shot in the dark. I thought I had a picture of the drink from my honeymoon photos but after checking it looks to be all show-related. Bummer. Oh well, at least when it comes to alcohol it's never boring to try it out as many times as needed :)
