The pig is not like other luau, it's chunks instead of shredded and lost it's flavor. The service and show was great

Completely surprised how amazing this luau was. The talent was off the charts and adding the rock and roll aspect made it so entertaining. Elvis was the best and Michael Jackson was a lot of fun.

Was looking for a more traditional luau and this was not it. In a mall, not on a beach, with a total of 3 hula dancers who were laughing when they messed up. The food was not good- we felt sick. When we heard the dancers would be in the rock-a-hula show we left altogether.

Amazing! Must see show! Our family of 7 enjoyed the experience. We started with VIP check in & lei greeting. The buffet was delicious & lots of variety. Our kids loved the desserts especially ice cream with lots of toppings! The hula lessons were a hit! After the dinner, we were walked to our VIP section, prime seating with perfect view. The entertainment is amazing & so much talent! We sang along to every song! Great interaction with the crowd. We are a multigenerational family, age 5 to 75, & we all enjoyed the show very much!

What can I say! From the welcome drink to the exit this experience was absolutely brilliant! Staff members were excellent, the host kept things moving and organised, the hula dancers kept on dancing!! Food was also amazing and there was plenty of it! Then on with the show. Elvis was brilliant and so was Michael Jackson, then the fire show! Singing and dancing throughout! Just absolutely brilliant! A must see!!!

The buffet had a variety of food and was very tasty. I was not aware this wasn't a traditional luau, it's primarily a tribute to Elvis and Michael Jackson with a few traditional luau elements added in. It wasn't my preference, but to others they may enjoy that type of show.
