Have You Seen Us Lately?

A fun show at Lakeside Restaurant on Friday night with Big Tiki & The Mai-Tais - Florida's unique "Tiki Pop" band.

Camping Fun: The ladies are enjoying a relaxing drink while watching their husbands work hard to install an awning.

Our chefs and general manager ensured that the Hawaiian Luau Buffet was perfect.

The buffet was set up in such a way that it made it very easy to get our meals quickly and efficiently.

The pre-show Hawaiian Dinner Music was great.

The featured performers have graced prestigious stages worldwide, including iconic venues like
Germaine's Luau on Oahu, Disney's Polynesian Resort, and SeaWorld Orlando's Luau.

The fire dance is always the highlight of the show.

The Cornhole Club took advantage of Sunday's weather to wash the mats and a couple of them used the soapy mats as a slip & slide.
