It's true, Hula Hula has a nice interior (it's no Thatch) but I've never had a good tropical drink there. I stick to beer and wells.

If The Islander ever served a good tropical drink I was never around for it. Since my fourth or so visit I've stuck to beer and wells there, too. (And last time I was there even the beer wasn't good.)

Ama Ama has an interior so swell you'd think it was in Portland. Their drinks menu is creative and on all my visits the people in our group have been very happy with the drinks. (Even the drinks usually preferred by prostitutes.)

West 5 is excellent. Their version of the Mai Tai is one of the more enjoyable tropical drinks I've ever had in a commercial bar, and it's consistently good. West 5's bartenders know their stuff, especially what's-his-name whose been there for some time and can be depended on for a quality drink.

If you actually follow any of this advice, TorchGuy, and visit one of these bars we want to see photographic evidence.
