I don’t know much about the glasses besides the fact that my grandmother has some of them somewhere. They had a huge Polynesian show with dancers trained in Hawaii for the full experience. I can try and find out more information if possible. It’s kind of cool to see that his establishment is remembered!

We were on our honeymoon. Too bad the location that we visited is now closed.

I last visited in 1978 back when I lived in Mexico City.
