I've been going to the Royal Hawaiian since I was in a high chair some 50 + years ago. Last time I went I almost cried. I asked, and was told that the original owners sold after the fires in Laguna, they lost their home. They too, were polynesian lovers. Since the new owners took over, atmosphere totally changed and so did the attitude. I guess you really can't go back and relive your old memories.
