So is this what a 'tiki' means in much of Florida? It might explain things.

Yes, unfortunately, that's what we have come to know as "Florida Tiki" - a thatched roof automatically means "tiki." But then it's also bad if tikis are painted wild colors - that's "Disney tiki." For example, Cocoa Palms Resort in Cocoa Beach ended up painting most, if not all, of their nice Mai Tiki carvings.
