Bought this Luau to show my Husband a real Polynesian Luau but it lacked authenticity hence 3 Stars. And the lei was made of tiny shell Lei with ‘Made in Philippines’ tags still on them. The entertainment was great though.

Although the food was very good, I was anticipating a pig to be roasted in the ground and to witness the unearthing. I wish we had been greeted with staff in Hawaiin dress/ shirt anything but a Steelers Jersey, kinda took away from the aesthetics. I did love how quaint and the sweet stories from the hostess and the host did a nice job of introducing acts and the history behind the dances. Unfortunately I have been to Luau in Lahaina and this did not compare.

I can’t say enough about this experience! We stayed at the property associated with the luau so pricing and getting to the location were great! The MC, musical guests and dancers were amazing! There were activities before the show and dinner started. It was fun trying new things and watching everyone really get into the fun of it all. The buffet was absolutely worth it and had a wide variety of items…the kalua pork was fantastic!

I went my first Luau in 1991. We were greeted with a flower lei and saw a demonstration of the preparation of a pig that was ultimately placed in the ground for cooking. Although not authentic, this Luau is as close to authentic as you will get. The venue is intimate which better connects to the audience. The food was good and the open bar(included in price) was awesome. I definitely recommend this excursion.

The dancers were amazing, but some of the food was good except for the pork was dry and the desserts were not good. The overall experience was great and had a lot of fun with my family. Thank you.

It was a good experience but nothing to write home about. Food was okay, open bar but drinks were weak. The entertainment was good but host a little hokey.
