1.00Not worth money you can stand outside and watch it for free and as a family of 6 we paid over $700 not worth it

5.00Absolutely wonderful food and a great show! Definitely recommend but sit closer to observe the show better. There was light rain sprinkled throughout our time at the show which made the experience more magical
Underwhelming

3.00The experienced felt rushed and unorganized. Could barley see the stage. Food at the buffet was packed up after 30 minutes. Fireworks where advertised with the show but all guests were told to leave the seating area because the event was over and guests should try to find a space on the beach to view the fireworks. Overall the cost did not match the description.

3.00Not what I remember as a teenager coming. Everyone I spoke to said to schedule with Germaine’s, not the hotel. I’ll know better next time. The pig was dry, the other food was alright, and the drinks were watered down. We paid for premium seating. If you don’t, you won’t see a thing. Won’t book this again.
Large luau

5.00Make sure you get in the correct line. Plan ahead for additional time if you are traveling with young children. Host was great, dances were awesome and crowd interaction wonderful.

4.00Make sure if you buy the Golden Circle tickets you arrive early. The diamond tickets are the first row of tables. The golden circle is seated by place in line. We were 45 minutes early and we were in the second row (barely). Drinks were weak and food was good. It’s a buffet and no sanitizer (so if you care about that, bring your own!) Show was good. Beautiful on the lawn and during sunset.
The luau was an amazing...
