The Tambu Lounge is located on the second floor of the Great Ceremonial House, which puts it right in the middle of the action. The Great Ceremonial House is a massive open air lobby filled with lush plants, gently gurgling water, hanging decorative glass orbs, and a sweeping beamed ceiling. The Tambu Lounge is tucked into one of the corners of the second level of the Great Ceremonial House which gives it a unique combination of secluded yet part of the hustle and bustle of the area.
5. Whole Night Or Pit Stop
One of the best things about the location of the Tambu Lounge is that it is in the vicinity of Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort’s two popular restaurants. Nearby Kona Café serves up Asian inspired dishes in an open air restaurant and ‘Ohana serves up a character breakfast with Stitch and family style feasts of meat and all the trimmings for dinner. Since both restaurants are so popular, many guests book reservations far in advance for their meals and get to the restaurants early. With extra time waiting to be seated, many guests find themselves walking over to Tambu Lounge to enjoy a drink before their wonderful meals. Tambu Lounge is special in that it makes either the perfect spot to stop before meals or the perfect place to spend an entire night! Guests who don’t have dining reservations still find themselves lingering at Tambu Lounge enjoying the atmosphere, drinks, and snacks.
4. Lapu Lapu
One of the most well-known drink offerings from the Tambu Lounge is the tropical Lapu Lapu. The drink is served in a massive hollowed out pineapple and garnished with a small umbrella which immediately makes guests feel as though they are truly in the South Pacific. The pineapple is filled with rum, tropical fruit juices, and topped with more rum making it delicious, fruity, and overall amazing. Guests who stop by the Tambu Lounge will definitely find themselves ordering a Lapu Lapu after seeing other guests walking around with delicious looking pineapples!
3. Backscratcher
The other very popular drink at the Tambu Lounge that is unique to Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort is the aptly named Backscratcher. This tropical drink combines two different types of rum, passion fruit juice, and whiskey and is garnished with a tropical umbrella and orange slice. The cocktail gets its unique name as the final garnish placed into the glass is a massive bamboo backscratcher!
