Amazing and life changing - It was beautiful and the food was amazing! The dancing was so majestic as well as the music being Devine! Hospitality was on point too! I would highly recommend this luau to anyone who is interested in learning more about the Hawaiian culture and wants to engage in a family activity that will bring you closer together

Wonderful - This was our first luau and it was a great experience. My favorite part was the history and info that was shared throughout performance. My only complaint was not being able to see well since the area was all the same level. The food was amazing 😊

Fun little show - This was a fun luau. The only thing I didn't care for was the seating arrangements vs where the stage was. If you were not sitting at one of the front tables, you missed a lot of the hula dancing because everyone sat on the same playing field. I felt the dancers should have been up on a stage instead of on the same level as the audience. The food was good and the staff was very friendly and helpful. I enjoyed the show. At least, what I could see of it.

Too expensive - The staff and dancers were great but way too overpriced. We got VIP as I read the reviews about the view not being too great. The layout is still not the best and when the fire came out they had all the VIP’s move and then we couldn’t see much of anything. Overall I wouldn’t recommend and would not go again.

Disappointed - The food was delicious! The dancers and storytellers were amazing and entertaining. The venue was terrible. We were seated in the back even though we bought our tickets months ago. It was windy and we couldn’t see the dancers. They need to be on a stage or in the middle. Very disappointing.

Not what it used to be … sadly - The stage is now at ground level. Posts blocking view as well. Food was good, staff was friendly (that’s why a 2 rating instead of a 1), but could not see the performers on the stage. They used to have an elevated stage (we attended in July 2023 and it was raised and had a much better view). Now in July 2024 the stage in in a corner ground level with people and posts in front of you. If they continue to perform on a ground level stage where most cannot see the show, then this is not worth it. They could remedy this by simply using the raised stage they used to use.

Terrible show. - Was a total rip off. Paid $350 for 2 celebrating our golden wedding anniversary. Got to the venue 30 minutes early and we're the 1st to arrive. We were the last to be placed right at the back with the sun beating down. There was no stage and were sitted very close to each other, no room to move in or out. It was a buffet and by the time we got to the food it was a mess. After eating the entertainment started but we could not see anything as there was no stage. The people in front kept standing up. It was a real shambles. I complained but was totally ignored. Do not waste your money as its a scam.
