I think alot of people are pissed that Tiki Caliente was basically dissed and dismissed from the Tropics....as we all love the place.

And how about the ORIGINAL, the Tiki Oasis? There was no other Tiki fest then...

Check out the elaborate entertainment program....Whooaa! :wink:

Sweet memories with good friends

This was the beginning of many years of successful Tropics Oasis events - until Otto had enough of being relegated to the hottest months, and not getting any favors for all the business generated - the same reasons why Rory left.

And what about the persons responsible for the full scale Tiki-sensitive renovation of the place, Casey and his partner: Squeezed out of the business after all their hard work and hard cash spent on the place.

And then the last chapter, the renovation of the restaurant and bar...I don't even wanna know what went on there!

Believe me, there's no love lost here, but: Since I lead my first Lounge Bus Tour group through this place in 1994, it has been an amazing example of the style, for a long time, something to proudly refer to as the best Tiki Motel in existence - in spite of all the behind-the-scenes frustrations. And now that status might be threatened, and that is not a good thing.
