A most memorable Kuau experience! - Wonderful time!enjoyed dinner in the Manor, and an informative bus driver. The show was incredible. We’ve never seen Dancing with fire! Glad to hear some of the history of the island through the luau performance!

Great night out! Worth it! - Restaurant was wonderful. Ambience was charming and food great. Was a limited menu for the show but everything was excellent. Their regular menu looked really good so made me want to go back to Gaylords Restaurant on a normal day. Staff was super friendly and service fast. They seem very practiced and dinner and show transition was seamless. We were moved to tables right up front - felt like a VIP. Show was great. A bit more showy and less traditional than other Luaus I've seen but really well done. Fire show was awesome.

Overall great experience - Enjoyed the show and story telling too. The food was good however just wish it was open for seconds!

Hawaiian History in Song Dance - I went to Luau Kalamaku to see Luau Kalamaku on Kauai!! I decided to get the VIP special; went to a private dinner at Kilohana Plantation before the show. Before we had our private dinner, we took a train ride of the property, showing what they grow like sugar cane, fruits, and coffee. Going to the private dinner, the food was magnificent; The pork wonton started off this culinary experience, then we had a caesar salad. Our main course we had pork, braised rib on top of some jasmine rice and sweet Hawaiian potatoes and some veggies. Now to the Luau in the main building. The luau was in the main pavilion where the majority of people were seated, luckily I was in the second row so I got a great view of the show. Speaking of the show, it was exemplary. The luau represents the history of Hawaii and how the native people came to the Islands through dance and music from Tahiti to Hawaii!! Highly recommend coming here and doing the Manor House Experience before watching the show.

Amazing night🏝️🏝️🏝️ - Amazing experience with great food at The Gaylord and great story of the island in the show. The dancers and singers were great. Fun time had by all

Good times - Great show and the dinner was tasty. I wish however we knew about the other things on site (the rum co, the sweet shop) that we could’ve visited earlier. While others got “lei-ed” and their photos taken, we did not. I would definitely come back but Not sure if I would pay for the VIP package since others got the little extras without bothering.

Fantastic show - The show was fantastic, and we loved being right up front and the flower Lei! However I didn't realize that by purchasing the highest package, you actually have dinner away from the show, and miss out entitirely on the craft fair. This wasn't terrible, because seeing the old plantation house was very cool, but we felt secluded from the whole luau party. The food was also different from the house vs the luau. The front row seating and Lei was great, but otherwise, I would have just purchased the regular package. Again, the show was fantastic with great music and storytelling!

This was a fun evening that we are glad we attended. - This was a fun evening. We were looking for a medium sized venue for a luau and this fit the bill nicely. Our table and most others were close to the performers who were spirited and appeared to be genuinely enjoying what they were doing. The story line was easy to follow and depicted well with words and dance. They had an open bar which was certainly a bonus. We would have rated it higher if the buffet was a little more interesting (okay but not spectacular) and the luau entrance was more inviting. The presentation of Leis was not great. Two people not in Hawaiian dress simply handed a lei to you while in the picture line, and that was a bit like a cattle call. Overall the whole experience was good but could have been better with a little more attention to detail.

Nice but a little overpriced - I'll start by saying that they did not clearly mark where to go for the Manor House Dinner vs. the buffet dinner. After standing in line we were told that was for the buffet dinner and were told to go to Gaylords. Once there we checked in and then were escorted to the table. A little while later a gal came around and asked if we were part of the Luau and when we said yes she handed us a lei. Most place we've been with a lei greeting they present it by putting it on you. I feel they can improve this. The dinner was tasty, but you only got 2 choices for each course. The torch light walk to the Luau was okay, nothing special. With the Manor House dinner the great thing was our seat were right up front, no one in front of us, so we had a fantastic view of the stage. Since the stage is round and there is seating all around it, the negative is that sometimes the performers had their backs towards us. The performance was really great, I would give them a 5 star. Comparing all aspects of this Luau to others (4 others) that we have been to, I believe it is just a little overpriced.

Very pricey and food just ok. - We opted for the more expensive dinner package. Food was good but not remarkable. Service was very good. Drinks are not included here. The luau was more of an opera / theater experience in a large indoor venue. Not my cup of tea. The “open bar” was pre mixed mai tai and little else. It was pricey for what you got. Find a less expensive luau and maybe on a beach.
