Food was great, service was great, entertainment was superb.
I'll do it again next visit.

The show is wonderful. The food was horrible. All salty to the taste and food that was suppose to be hot was cold.

The last time I came to Honolulu, I went to Germaine's Luau (ICK!) and since I had such a miserable time with them, I decided to give luaus another chance and headed over to the Royal Hawaiian Luau with my boyfriend. I am SO glad that I went since it was a great experience and we had a really good time. The food was very delicious, the show was top-notch and it was really romantic.

Some friends and I got together to attend the Royal Hawaiian Luau at the large beautiful pink hotel of Waikiki and it was great. We were greeted with beautiful orchid flower leis at the entrance of the luau by the performers and immediately served a welcome mai tai. The whole setting of the feast was decorated with class and Oh-My-Goodness, the beach and the sunset was perfect to capture a photographic memory.
The host of the show did not waste anytime in welcoming all the guests preparing us for a wonderful feast and show. The food was delicious. There were several isles of Honolulu’s most popular food and desert and lets not forget the huge roasted pig that everyone looked eager to taste. The Polynesian performers were brilliant. They were graceful, energetic, and very entertaining. They got the audience involved and let visitors get an experience their first hukilau and Tahitian dancing. The Polynesian performers were awesome and very energetic. They really put on a great show.
My favorite part was when the brave and talented fire man did an unbelievable performance. I could not take my eyes off of his act. It is the most tremendous show and you just got to see it! I would definitely recommend this luau to anyone. Especially families, newlyweds, anniversary celebrators because they even announce special events and give spotlight for a romantic dance in front of the large crowd.

I had an absolute blast. I was orginally going to attend the luau by myself but i was able to talk my friend into going with me and i thought that it was awesome. i loved all of the hawaiin dances. but i thought that the fire dance guy (forgot what it is really called) was the coolest. I have never had hawaiin styled food and i liked how there was a wide varity of hawaiian food for me to try. i enjoyed it all very much. thank you.

First of all, may I just say YUMMM!? If there is one thing that this luau does well, it is the food! The buffet lines were groaning under the weight of all of the delicacies and the tables were laden with a bounty of food. There were tossed, macaroni and shrimp salads, an incredibly yummy fruit salad mixed with haupia, a perfect lomi-lomi salmon (not too salty like how a lot of places make it), some kalua pork which was insanely juicy, of course there was some of the ever-popular mahi-mahi, and my favorite, teriyaki beef that just melted in my mouth! I kept going back for more and even though I was stuffed, I still had enough room for dessert, and thank goodness for that. The guava cake was to-die-for and the macadamia nut cream pie was a little slice of heaven. Yes, it was really THAT good! Out of all the luaus I have to been to so far, the Royal Hawaiian Luau has, by far, the BEST food!
My friends and I were quickly checked in at the ticket counter and then we made our way on the Royal Hawaiian Hotel's Ocean Lawn. We were greeted with leis by a bevy of Polynesian performers and then escorted to our seats. We meandered around for awhile and watched the sky blossom into color as the sun began to set into waters. The view of Waikiki and Diamond Head was postcard perfect!
The show itself is a mix of a variety of Polynesian dances and the performers were quite good. There were dances from Tahiti, modern and ancient Hawaiian hulas, an energetic Samoan slap dance and of course the ever ever popular Samoan fire knife dance! It was also incredibly romantic when they invited all the newlyweds and couples celebrating anniversaries to dance as the singers sang the Hawaiian Wedding Song.?
The Royal Hawaiian Luau is definitely a great choice for those who would like experience luau without having to leave the comforts of Waikiki.
