We'd Go Again - Excellent venue. Seating was set up so most had good views. Food was average for most luaus. Performers were excellent.

Incredibly fun luau! - I recently attended the Waikiki Starlight Luau at the Hilton with my mother. As a Hawaii Concierge, I am always looking for dynamic, fun & meaningful experiences for my guests while on vacation. This luau was organized, interactive and had great food! Will definitely continue to recommend.

Luau - Disappointed the venue was moved for a Pokeman event to a rooftop. Unable to see the fireworks. Show and food was fantastic. Event well organized.

It was ok - performers were great! - I payed for the more expensive experience and didn’t feel like it was worth it. The staff were excellent. The buffet food was cold. My teen son went back for second and thirds though. Performers were awesome.

Worst luau ever - We paid for premium seating and were seated in the worst spot right in direct sunlight! No shade and pigeons everywhere trying to eat your dinner! The luau performance plays to both sides of the stage not to seats down the middle. The show was just not entertaining compared to other luaus on Waikiki beach.

Show was only 2 hours - We were not let into the luau area until exactly 530p. You were able to line up before that . We were released at 730p even though the package description says duration 3 hrs. Luaus on Fridays are $249 and not $185 like the rest of the week. The price is not increased because of the fireworks. The firework show is present by the Hilton hotel area and anyone and everyone can come to the beach to watch. It’s not specific to only luau guests. We could not watch the fireworks from the luau area and were released to go to the beach at 730p. The “ hula lessons” were like 3 minutes and we were trying to imitate their actions on stage at our seats and tripping over our chairs. The food was good. There was a separate buffet table specifically for children in case they didn’t want to eat the adult food. The drinks were watered down. The show was good but difficult to see since they were not on a built stage. Show was too pricey for what you got. Do not recommend.
