3.00Make sure you know where you are going before you head out Not very well sign posted Also if your a good circle get there early otherwise it’s a long queue and they start babbling about things before you enter the arena

4.00Hi me and my husband enjoyed the show. We were disappointed because we thought we were getting the lei necklace. We were also disappointed that we couldn’t take a picture.
Mildly disappointed

3.00Some of the food seemed like it was from the night before. Particularly the chicken. It was very chewy and overcooled. The. Brisket was extremely fatty.
Is it worth it?

4.00So I actually had a hard time figuring out where to go to find it. There were no signs anywhere at the bottom. And it’s a big place. So I called the number and they literally walked me there. So happy someone picked up the phone. I got the most expensive package. So we got front row seats. But to be honest you can get any seats. All seats are good seats. But we did get to eat first. Just bummed no one got any flower lay necklace thingy. I thought it was included. Plus we all assumed we were gonna watch the fireworks from the rooftop. Wrong. You can’t see them from there. They say if you wanna see them you have to leave the building and walk towards the beach. So we all had to leave the luau to watch the fireworks. The show itself was fun. Food was decent. Nothing to write home about. But it wasn’t bad. Overall B for me. Pricy. But it wasn’t bad nice.
Horrible
