I think you're right about the caribbean style versus "tiki", i think most of that has to do with the fence. I was 100% against a white vinyl fence but found someone willing to do 350 ft of it for $2900 installed so it just made financial sense vs. well over $10k for a wood-look composite fence (I am all about NO maintenance so wood was out of the question). Once I did the white fence I decided to make the tiki bar match. I actually like it with the bright white concrete so I think maybe i'll just roll with the caribbean style since I can't really do much to the fence. That being said maybe I should add more bright colors back there that'll "pop" against the white fence?
