The food was typical Hawaiian luau fare, and plenty of it (chicken, pork, salads, desserts)…read more Drink policy is a little strange. You may only walk with one drink in hand, so getting a round for the table takes 8 trips. The good bartender made them all at once so I just had to pick them up, one at a time. No line standing for drinks 2 through 8. I got my steps in. The really aren't any bad seats. We paid a little extra for "premium" seating. That got us "ringside". Well worth it. Only negative was the heat. Fans didn't come on until after the fire dancer. Maybe that was a safety thing for the performers, but the fans could have been on before the fire act (I think). Some of the older customers from cold states were having heat issues. Being from Florida, we were fine. Would we do this again, yeah I think so.

Mixed bag here. I thought the food was good, not great. Just good. The desserts were just ok…read more But I thought the show was excellent. This is my first lu'au even though I live in Hawaii. I was impressed. I thought the performers were awesome, especially the fire dancers. Just really awesome and the dancers were enthusiastic which made for a better performance. I thought the audio was a bit off. The volume was crazy loud to fill the huge tent but it was hard to hear the individual voices of the narrators. So maybe something to boost the midrange a bit in the balance of the sound system or whatever. I'm not a sound engineer. So if you're visiting Kauai and are looking for a lu'au, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Kalamaku. I think you'll have a good time.

The museum focuses on Kauai citizens' contributions to wars and conflicts with a lot of personal artifacts, historical photos, models, and several captured war pieces.

Most of the holes have pretty open fairways. The par threes are fun to play. The course has a few challenging holes and you just have to play smart. The greens are nice and in great shape. The entire course is surrounded by beauty, some of the most breathtaking views on any course in Hawaii. You can book the tee time online, easy and no problem. The club house is nice and the staff from the starter to the guys that take care of the clubs and carts were friendly and professional. They were very helpful in providing the layout of the course. Great experience at Puakea Golf Course and I will definitely be back to play again. Thank you for the great experience.

This isn't a high-end resort club, however I saw the local resort club when went went over for lunch, and they looked very similar in upkeep. Greens are unpredictable.. couldn't get a measure if they were fast or slow. Skill issue 100%, but just giving way to how I faired on the course. Some challenging scenery, with roughs that beg to swallow your golf ball into the abyss. I luckily only lost a sleeve...which is great considering the rentals came with a sleeve. Rentals were PXG lightnings. 14 clubs with 3 woods and a putter. Great set in good condition, being rentals. Pro shop Auntie was great. All the workers were super nice and helpful. Auntie spaced me out, golfing solo, where I had no issues with anyone behind me, and barely saw the twosome in front of me. I can see how this is a favorite amongst a lot of locals and traveling golfers. If I lived on the island, this could very well be a home course. If you believe that the other courses around are a little bit high in price, Puakea will not disappoint you for a more affordable island golfing experience!

When the time came, we went up to their patio and they called in each party. Our host was amazing. He was very knowledgeable and friendly. Kept us engaged with light humor. All the drinks were amazing. Our favorite was the coffee rum! Needless to say, we enjoyed our bottle during our vacation and had the best time. I highly recommend this stop if you're on the island. Did I mention it's a complementary tasting? 10/10

After our golf plans got canceled, we decided to squeeze in a tasting at Kōloa Rum Company--and…read morehonestly, it ended up being one of our favorite stops of the day. It's located at the beautiful Kilohana Plantation, so even if you're not a big rum drinker, it's worth visiting. You can wander through the gardens, stop by the sweet shop, grab a bite at Gaylord's Restaurant, or catch the luau. It's just a really nice place to spend an afternoon. It's highly recommend making a reservation online. However we couldn't book online, but we called about an hour before and were able to get in. I also had no idea the tasting itself was complimentary, which made the experience even better. Our Rumtender, Randy, was awesome! He walked us through the history of Kōloa Rum, explained each variety, and shared his favorite ways to enjoy them. It felt more like chatting with a friend than sitting through a tasting. Safe to say we were convinced--we ended up bringing home two bottles! Whether you're a rum fan or just looking for something fun and different to do in Kauai, I'd definitely recommend adding this to your itinerary.

The hall is in a good location, with lots of parking. We had some difficulty finding it, though,…read morebecause coming off of Rice Street, there is no street sign, and the street has a different name on the other side of Rice (Kalena). The hall is rectangular, much longer than wider. The facility is accessible. The entire place showed its age but was neat and clean. It looked as though the space within could be divided. There was a kitchen area. The floors were bare tile. The major issue we encountered was air conditioning. We were there for a well-attended event on a hot mid-September day. The A/C vents, however, seemed to be located only at one end of the building, and it wasn't where we were. That end of the building was very comfortable. The section next to it was okay if you weren't moving too much. The section we were in, farthest away from the vents, was pretty miserable. They tried to keep the doors closed and the A/C in, but even if they had been successful, I'm not sure it would have helped. Most people spent a lot of time fanning themselves. Also the acoustics were not good for an event like this, with lots of people talking. It was difficult to hear and be heard, given all the noise. Then they piped music over standing speakers and we had to yell to be heard. It would probably be fine if there was only one source of sound at a time, like one person speaking, everyone listening to the same music, etc. Load-in and out was easy due to multiple doors in the sides and end. There was a theater at the end we were near, but it was closed, so I can't tell you what it was like inside although outside of it was very hot, since there were no A/C vents. It looked as though the theater had been added at a later time.

The Convention Hall is a multi-purpose facility that's great for hosting parties (birthdays,…read moreweddings, etc.). Every time I go there it's always for that specific reason. Driving in from Hardy street, you have a massive uncovered parking. There's a chain link fence that separates the lot from the Hall, so you have to find the niche in which it opens toward the entrance. Walking into the ballrooms, you have are immediately struck by the size of the place. If you've seen the space from end-to-end and not separated by dividers, you'll know what I mean by it! This place is mostly for space rental - there's no catering or staff that services the hall and must be provided by the party. You do have the general necessities to host a party, and that includes a sink, bar, fridge, cupboards, a stage and bathrooms. I was fortunate enough to host a First Birthday Party at the Convention to 'test' out the acoustics of the room. Depending on the amount of sound generated from whatever speaker system you have, it can only travel so far. Also right next door to the Ballrooms, you have a Theater that's host to other grand productions (concerts, plays, pageants, etc.). I've only taken a peek in there once but it's a pretty decent size! Overall: Great Place to host parties and other events

When my wife and I decided to do a destination wedding in Hawaii, we had no clue where to start. I started out researching photographers and ministers, when I contacted Aloha Ever After and spoke with Timory, I just knew this was the right company and the right people to make our wedding the best it could be. We set our wedding date for Dec.9,2018. (I know, I unintentionally procrastinated with my review.) But our experience was phenomenal and the memory stays with us every day. Timory did an incredible job helping us with information to get the marriage license, flowers, suggested accommodations in the area and even provided great options for the ceremony. after seeing Shipwrecks Beach, we chose that as the place to start our new life. We arranged to have her partner/Husband Joel perform the ceremony and Timory on photography. They were both awesome to work with, in tune with our wishes and exceptional with assisting us the whole way. The ceremony was beautiful, we did a sand ceremony as well and all of the photos were absolutely breathtaking! One of my outstanding memories during the ceremony was Timory asking us to pause briefly to look into the ocean, there was a Manta Ray lingering just off the beach, in front of our location, she said that was a rare occurance at that beach, in fact, she said she hadn't seen that in 20 years of performing weddings at that beach, the locals at the Tidepools restaurant all concurred and didn't believe it until I showed them the photo. we chalked it up as the spirit of our lost loved ones joining our special moment. that was super cool to experience. I truly can't say enough about Aloha Ever After, The prices were more than reasonable, the help with planning was priceless, the team of Timory and Joel and the overall experience is something I'll never forget. We've returned once to revisit for our anniversary and to reflect on the memories. We hope to go again someday to renew our vows and you know my first call will be to Aloha Ever After! Thank You for a job well done!
