Do not go
Gary_V, Apr 2024
Seating was a nightmare... uneven lawn so tables and chairs were uneven and not steady. Many spills as just touching the table caused it to wobble. Food was terrible. Unable to see the stage so could not enjoy the show. This is a definite no go.
Great Luau Experience
Ernestine_R, Apr 2024
Everything was very organized. Parking was easy. Staff was friendly and helpful. It was a relaxing environment with good food and a great show. I recommend this show to everybody. Great Hawaiian experience from food to the dancers.
Exciting performances and great dinner.
CELIA_G, Apr 2024
We had a great evening. Dinner and drinks were also great. The performances were great, we especially enjoyed the fire performance.
The show was absolutely amazing 👏 🙌
Jeldean_H, Apr 2024
The show as well as the meal. Everything was just wonderful. The dancers and the host did a great job of telling the story of their heritage.
Ocean view luau

It was a beautiful experience. Enjoying a Luau with an ocean view was phenomenal. My daughter and cousin were invited into the stage to learn how to dance. Beautiful atmosphere and experience.
Great experience

The staff was great. The food was excellent. The entertainment was outstanding. I would highly recommend this Luau.
The stories behind each...
Yvette_R, Apr 2024
The stories behind each dance and the genuine sense of welcoming from the staff and the entertainers
We had reservations for 5 pm but we had to stand in a very long line for 40 minutes.
Nita_T, Apr 2024
The show was good food was just ok because we were expecting more of a food choice. The wait was highly to long before we were seated. What was the point of making reservations?
Overpriced queuing experience
Ola_D, Mar 2024
Significantly overpriced. The whole experience was mostly waiting in line: 20 min to check in, 30 min for a drink (complementary but average-tasting), 20 min for food (a small selection of tasty meats, a green salad, a tiny piece of tea cake). The venue has long diner-hall-like communal tables, with no assigned seating. The performance was the best part, watching the dancers agains the sunset was amazing. Too bad the amazing lasted 20 min. Would’ve rated it 3/5 if it were half the price.
Pass on this one

I hate to be the ungrateful tourist, but there are other luaus on the island and you should avoid this one. It's pretty sad to sit in the rain, eating soggy buffet food and drinking a Mai Tai that tastes like Minute Maid orange juice. Everything was wet when we arrived. Food options were limited and mediocre. We left early and ate snacks from the ABC store.
Great time
Teresa_G, Mar 2024
We had a great time. Lots of fun and good food. The dancers did a great job. I would recommend going to this luau.
Waste of money, gross food
Andrew_B, Mar 2024
For the price, this was a complete ripoff. Food was disgusting and seemed to be the lowest quality cafeteria food. Guests who didn't even pay for the luau just got to watch the show from behind the rope and not be out over $300.
An absolute great experience
Jeff_R, Mar 2024
The Luau was an amazing experience! The food was great and service was excellent. I would recommend this experience to anyone.
Luau
EJane_M, Feb 2024
The entertainment at the beginning was good and the service of drinks was excellent. The food was really good but it started to pour as soon as we got our food. We ate in the rain and then it was canceled. Very disappointing
A great evening's entertainment.
Lisa_D, Feb 2024
Watching the sun go down while the performers told their story was quite special as was watching the fire dance after dark. The band was good and the host too. The food was not so great, in my opinion, but then that wasn't why I went, so wasn't an issue. I really enjoyed this evening out and would recommend it to anyone looking for a Luau.
Way expensive and be prepared for the rain!
Randy_S, Feb 2024
We made a reservation for last night, our last night on the island. They made a big deal about making everyone read a disclaimer when we checked in - regarding no refunds if rain. That was our first clue - we got thru the buffet dinner - tough beef, very fishy tasting fish - basically it was hotel banquet food…not a real luau. Before the show started and after dinner the skies opened up. They waited 20 minutes while people were getting soaked to call the show. The only offer given was to go stand in line in the rain and get a rain check for the next night. Since we’re leaving that’s not an option.
Very poorly run and not worth the money they charge at an old, run down resort on the beach.

The staff was amazing. The food was delicious ! The entertainment and host were also awesome. I would recommend to any one.
Moved indoors even in good weather
Bruce_W, Feb 2024
Not worth it if they move you indoors. At that point it’s a hotel banquet hall convention dinner. Food was good but no Imu ceremony.
Great show and drinks; mediocre food.
Eric_S, Feb 2024
Excellent performance by the dancers and musicians. Sound system and acoustics were not very good. Many of you probably have better in your home theater system. I do. Staff was very nice and attentive.
Drinks flow very freely! Food was so so. Great pork and chocolate cake. Steamed fish was only just passable. Veggies were over cooked. Mac & potato salad was quite bland.
People attending were friendly and sharing their vacation experiences.
