3.00It's an enjoyable night on the town. It is definitely an accessible way to try Hawaiian food and experience a little hula. I'm Hawaiian from the mainland, but my kids have never been to a luau or seen hula. Since I was limited to Waikiki, we choose to go here because it was close to the hotel The food was tasty and the dinner performances were fun. The dancers also served as the waitstaff. There was so much food that it is easy to overeat The performance started 2 hours after dinner. The show is trying to draw a timeline of Hawaiian music and it's influences. It kinda lost me and Elvis and Michael Jackson. That being said , those performers were actually quite talented. And the two female vocalists who performed the whole show were amazing. The band was very good as well. The dancers looked like they were trained and they were proud of their work, so I enjoyed their energy. This was an overall hard-working group of entertainers. The fire dancers at the end was good as well. I can't really call it an experience of high art, or culture, but it is a nice time out and I found myself letting my guard down throughout the evening. I really appreciate the hard work of all the entertainers. I saw more than a few locals there, so if it was good enough for them, who am I to judge. My kids liked it, and that's all that matters
Entertaining

5.00Starting with the luau food, everything was very good. The Prime rib cooked perfect, the chicken and local fish were moist and hot and all the side tasty. The luau dancer were good and got the whole place involved. The Rock A Hula show was Vegas/Atlantic city quality. The singers, Elvis & Michael Jackson on the money and all the dancers were GREAT and the fire knife Chief awesome. Mahalo to the cast!
Rockahula amazing!!!

5.00The staff was phenomenal and went above and beyond. Will was an awesome waiter. Elvis definitely made the show. This is our 2nd time doing the rock-a-hula luau and will definitely be doing it again. It is an amazing experience for the entire family. We'll worth it!

4.00The people were friendly & food was good. Show was very entertaining. Not exactly what I was expecting for a “Hawaiian” Luau, but good anyway.
Don’t miss rock a hula!

5.00Amazing show. Dancing was fabulous. Swing “Elvis” in Hawaii was a dream come true. 10/10 would do this show again. Luau was fine. Similar to previous luau experiences. Staff was very kind and helpful.
