Owner Kyle Boyd opened Tiki Maya Bar in early 2016, when he took over a floundering bar located on his property. The bar sat right over the water in the Caribbean Sea, with a thatched roof that was ready to get the complete tiki treatment. Boyd grew up in Dallas and had fond memories of his time spent at the Dallas Trader Vic's, and hoped to transform this Caribbean getaway into a Polynesian one.

However, for one reason or another, this never really came to fruition and by all accounts the bar closed some time after Summer 2018 -- with no recent reviews as of 2021 on TripAdvisor or Google Reviews or other review sites online. Its website was also taken down and its Facebook page abandoned.

The Tiki Maya House beach rental stands on shore nearby and its website is functioning and shows pictures of the bar also.

Perhaps the bar property is in transition and will re-open in some fashion soon...

Built in 1966 by architect Max Kevin.

This A-frame motel had a few changes in 2014 with new signage out front and the roof changed from blue to more of an orange (closer to its original color) by owner Tim Rice.

Rice said there was no intent to bring back the pool. Also, apparently, the rooms themselves were never Hawaiian themed, so beyond the structure itself, the sign, and the name, there is nothing more to see on the grounds -- no artwork or standing tikis.

This area has been somewhat depressed for several years, but has seen recent improvements.

It's not certain if there are more tiki upgrades in the Lodge's future, however. In May 2021 the signage was changed to a bland white and gray corporate logo with the only hint of tiki being the name...

This short-lived fast food restaurant opened in 1971, in Los Angeles, California, off Airdrome St. It was notable for its unique fiberglass leaf shingles.

Opened summer of 2021.

Build-out completed by Northstar General Contracting.

The duo of owners behind the bar are also the owners of Saint Franks, located on Broad Street.

The bar does have a limited food menu and also features a private karaoke room.

A tiki-style beach bar in the north of Germany.

After a visit in Florida, Danny, his wife and his mum opened up this little beach bar in 2021. They prefer a brightly-colored tiki style. They offer good cocktails and a lot of snacks. All Tiki enthusiasts are welcome and they love to get information/ feedback from the Tiki community.

Bootlegger Tiki opened in 2014, in the same spot that decades prior had housed the Palm Springs location of Don the Beachcomber. The owners also operate Ernest Coffee, right nextdoor. The walls and ceiling are lined with lauhala mats and Asian-motif graphic wallpaper, framed by bamboo. A creative slate of craft-inspired tiki cocktails are offered. There is a small covered outdoor patio.

Opened in 2011.

Tiki Haven is a tiki bar in the Inner Sunset neighborhood of San Francisco. The decor is beachy-tiki with mainly mass-market tikis and lauhala matting, and there are about a half-dozen glaring video screens throughout the space.

They do serve drinks in tiki mugs and have a small menu of classics and signature cocktails.

Tiki Limbo is a small hotel/hostel, restaurant and surf shop catering to the casual, backpacking tourists who come through this small coastal town. It was created in 2003 by the husband and wife team of Fernanda Solis (from Argentina) and Lorenzo Torre (from Spain). The couple supervised the full construction of the thatch-covered, '50s Americana, Polynesian Pop-inspired building. Every room of the entire building is thoroughly decorated in thatch, bamboo, and other tropical details and there are plenty of tikis.

The hotel has 11 rooms in both group and private configurations. The restaurant specializes in vegetarian fare, as well as seafood. The shop sells surf clothes and accessories, and offers surf rentals as well.

Tiki Town Adventure Golf is a themed, 18-hole mini golf course. It opened in 2013 in Belmont Park, an amusement park in the Mission Beach neighborhood of San Diego. The course is charming and appropriately cartoonish, with tikis and Polynesian Pop elements found everywhere. A large volcano sits by the entrance, there are thatched structures with A-frames, and some of the holes have animatronic features. The course runs both indoors and outdoors.

There is a nearby Dole Whip stand in Belmont Park, under the Sky Ropes Adventure.

Opened September 26th, 1959.

This restaurant was part of the Kon-Tiki chain owned by Steve Crane. It was in the Sheraton-Motor Inn, later called the Sheraton-Portland, in Lloyd Center, and featured three waterfalls. The site is now a Doubletree Hotel.

Closed in 1980 or 1981.

Some of the tikis from the Kon-Tiki wound up at the Jasmine Tree restaurant, including three large cannibal tikis. When the Jasmine Tree closed in late 2006, the tikis and other decor headed to another tiki bar in the area, Thatch, which later became Hale Pele.

Toucans opened in 2002, and is a tiki bar nightclub catering to Palm Springs' large gay population. The earlier theming was more tropical-light, but over the years the tiki angle has intensified, and now it is full of beautiful vintage lamps, hut structures, bamboo, thatch, and large tikis. Toucans offers fairly standard nightclub drink fare, but they do have a Mai Tai. Toucans' specialty is drag shows.

Opened summer of 2023 and located in downtown Newport, RI, this two-level bar and restaurant is tucked away in-between shops and bars on the side of a building on Bowen’s Wharf.

The tiki decor is sparse but there are fish floats, walls covered with lauhala matting, fish netting on ceilings, and tropical plants throughout. The white ceilings and beige walls along with wide plate-glass windows run contrary to the usual dark and cloistered tiki bar environment. Neither are there the layers of tiki mementos and ephemera one might find at a Trader Vic's or other classic establishment, but Wharf Fishhouse is new and has room to add more if they wish.

Their selection of custom tiki drinks are served in various tiki mugs, and they have several Polynesian inspired dishes, with a variety of skewers, sliders, rangoons, wings, ribs, etc.. Additionally, they offer standard local New England fare.
