The waterfalls were running and everything looked well cared for. I submitted some photos from my visit to Critiki. I won't post them here too because they look much the same as Polynesiac's 2008 photos. I've only noticed one difference -- the A-frame supports. ZuluMagoo (2003) Note the V-shaped supports. Polynesiac (2008) The supports lost their tropical decoration, but they are still present. My picture (2014) The V-shaped supports have been replaced with vertical columns. The big concrete pads at the bottom are ugly but I believe that is code now. This is just something I noticed and I don't want it to sound negative. Relatively speaking, this is still a very well-preserved tiki apartment complex. It's worth visiting.
