Great Luau! - The food was delicious and the entertainment was awesome! We had assigned seating so we didn’t have to get there super early to choose a good seat. Worth the money.

Beautiful Luau and a beautiful night - Our family had a wonderful time at the Luau. It was a beautiful setting and a great show! There was a nice selection of food for the dinner and complementary drinks when we arrived. The show was entertaining and told about the history of the island. We had a great night!

Great Luau - No need to arrive early, they've already preassigned you to a table based on how 'early' you've booked. Great Hawaiian storytelling; food buffet; hula dancers; and fire thrower at the end. It's hot, wear sunscreen and sunglasses.

It was an outside venue... - It was an outside venue that was absolutely beautiful and perfect. The story teller and dancers and wait staff were very knowledgeable and friendly. However, you should dress up for the event.

Ok not sure I’d do it again - The show itself was entertaining and well done. We were not big fans of the seating arrangements or the long lines for food and checking in. Also lots of flies.

Not worth the cost. - The show was very good, but food was nothing to rave about and the process to check in was annoying and not very welcoming. The impression we got was that it was only about the money and was not worth what was paid.

A good luau, but my expectations were not met - This was held at a beautiful setting and the storyteller and performers did a lovely job. It was very interesting hearing the history told in this way. The food was good, particularly the pork, sashimi and meat. We upgraded our seats to premium which put us in the front row, and I’m not sure I would have done this again for the cost. The setting was small and intimate enough that there wasn’t a bad seat. We had the best server, Ghie who was very attentive and wonderful. She went above and beyond caring for us. I would say, this was just ok for us. Traditional luaus seem like a fun thing to do at least once while in Hawaii, it just felt very impersonal and a little too high end for my taste. I didn’t feel the warm feeling I’ve felt from so many people on this island. It was very business like, and it did not meet expectations.
