Friday evening seafood buffet - $49.95/person plus your beverages. Make reservations. If you like to dine early (6-ish), ask for outside seating to enjoy the magnificent view of Hanalei Bay at sunset. The cold seafood was fabulous. Sashimi, the best I have ever had. Oysters, mussels, seared ahi and marlin rolls, clams, shrimp, seafood salads, sushi rolls. Warm included beef and salmon encrusted in filo dough and stuffed with spinach. Soup, baked fish (ono, I think), salad, bread, etc. The desserts were pretty good too, if you had room. Nice setting and attentive service.

I enjoyed the cold seafood the most; the rest was good caliber buffet food.

This is the most elegant hotel in the North of Kauai. As you enter off the street, you are really on the sixth floor. It is probably the most expensive per-day hotel on the island. But look around you, because you will not see this elegance at the luau. The luau is held on the first floor, in a large tented area near the outdoor pool. They have a traditional roast pig, and you can see it unwrapped from the pit area. They have the most skilled dance troupe--the leader is of national reknown as a dance winner, a very beautiful woman, and a skillful dancer. Since Hawaii is a mix of cultures, do all types of dances, Hula, Tahitian, etc. The drummers use various types of drums and other instruments and are very good at what they do. The costumes are of colorful fabrics/real and silk flowers and grasses. You are seated by long rows perpendicular to the raised stage area. The food is served buffet-style, and you get up by row to get what you want. I did not expect this more commercial aspect and was disappointed in this whole procedure. You must get what you want at your appointed time, because they clean up the food very quickly--the free drinks disappear, and the coffee and tea run out. Not a leisurely dining experience, as I had assumed it would be. The dancing is long and becomes too much of a good thing after awhile. This is my first luau, so I have no comparison.

The Sunday brunch is a must. It's a little pricy, but worth the money for the food and wonderful view. There's much to choose from, something for everyone.

This is a seafood buffet, all you can eat. The view is right on the ocean with a sunset. The food is unbelievable, and the desserts are decadent. This was an ending highlight of our vaction.

Fantastic Seafood Buffet on Friday night. Any kind of seafood you can ask for and for the beef lover they also have prime rib. The view overlooks the bay and is beautiful at sunset.
