I was wondering about a post by Casey which suggested that the Tropics in Palm Springs is the most Tiki Hotel in the world.

Such may be right, although I might give greater weight to a hotel closer to the ocean. Nevertheless, what would be the top 5 or 10.

Here is my list:

1. Royal Kona, Big Island - with Don the Beachcomber

2. Hawaiiana Hotel, Waikiki - There are plenty of Tiki and lush vegetation.

3. Waikiki Beach Hotel (Resort Quest) - Featuring my favorite Tiki Bar of all: Tiki's

4. Ka'anapali Beach Hotel, Maui - an enormous Ku statute on the grounds and feature a "Tiki Terrace" and the "Tiki Bar."

5. Hyatt Kauai - The restaurant Tidepools features an two giant Tikis in the lobby, and one overlooks the lagoon, water and Tiki torches when dining there.

6. Ocean Palms - North County San Diego - Tiki cut into Palms
