One thing about Tiki is you want to draw on as many natural elements as you can get: earth, stone, wood. White rarely exist in natural. Try adding more greens, browns, darks reds. If you want to go white, try more of a sandy buff color. Definitely more foliage. Big Broad leaf plants (depending on your location, you may have to plant in containers and then move inside if your area frosts). More wood elements. Bamboo, brushberry, or even reed, fencing, perhaps. Tikis, more Tikis. The natural stone/rock waterfall feature is really nice. Add more of that.
