I thought it was pretty good, and my friends seemed to have a good time. It's a cool place for a pool party, and It was a good turnout with a really mixed crowd - rockabilly, tiki-philes, hipsters, and people who seemed like they really weren't sure why they were there. Nothing especially "tiki" about the event. Secret Samurai were really good, and the burlesque show was fun.

I think the funniest moment of the evening for me was when I went to one of the pool bars. Noticing that they had a few rums I asked what tropical drinks the bartender could make. He repled, "I can make a mai tai." I hesitantly said OK. He then proceeded to pour every fruit juice he had (pineapple, orange, cranberry, and god knows what else), plus a couple of rums, into a cup. I just had to laugh.
