Something to scratch off your tourist list

Reviewed by: HawaiianEnvy, 2022/08/27

This was a nice event to scratch off a tourist’s list. Great performances tied to Hawaiian and Polynesian culture. Food was good. Had options for kiddos.

Not great experience and services

Reviewed by: Thuan Nguyen, 2022/07/16

The experience is not very good, arrived at the event about 15 minutes early than starting time at 5:00 pm and was told that we are early and should comeback about 5:30 pm or so. When asking and show the stated time on the reservation, then it is blame that the company who doing the reservation making a mistake which does make sense.

When they finally come out to a long line of people waiting to get process then they are busy up sell the premier seating to customers who willing to pay extra to be seating first.

The food is barely eatable and not a whole lot of choice. The music and show is average in my opinion since I have go to other show at different island.

Overall I would never comeback again and you you save your money and looking for others venues.

interactive

Reviewed by: Michelle, 2022/06/11

We enjoyed the luau, the food and the program. This is our second luau and by far, it was the more enjoyable one. The food was good and the entertainment was captivating. The program was surprisingly interactive which made it even more enjoyable. My 12 yr olds appreciated that there were foods they could identify (mac n cheese, chicken nuggets) after trying the poi, lomi and poke.

First Timers vs. Veteran Luau

Reviewed by: Cynthia Haynes, 2022/03/20

For those of us who had been to previous luaus this experience was amazing. The attention to history and story telling was very interesting. The costumes, dances and national history was educational as well as entertaining. (Especially the fire dancer!) Some of our friends had never been to a luau before and also thought it was wonderful. The food was presented beautifully and delicious. (The drinks were excellent too!) We even tried the poi because this was the first time it had ever been explained to us how to eat it and with what food combination. The location was easy to find and parking was ample. The staff were all friendly and knowledgeable. It was a great experience for our group of six and would highly recommend this event.

Fun First Night on the Island

Reviewed by: Wendy, 2022/03/08

Going to the luau was a great way to kick off our trip to Hawaii learning about the history and culture, traditions and customs. Staff were attentive, meal was varied to allow for local cuisine and picky eaters in the group ( who knew Chick nuggets and Mac was customary but a fan fav for the kids!). Banana bread delicious. The show entertaining and ambiance pretty overlooking the water.

Majestic Oceanfront Celebration

Reviewed by: Vhurteau, 2021/12/18

Excellent pageantry and making educational entertainment fun for the whole family that includes history of the various South Pacific tribes together with an excellent orchestra, singing and an outstanding master of ceremonies. The buffet food was fine but you go here to enjoy a majestic recreation of Hawaiian tradition!

Kids still loved it

Reviewed by: Trust, 2021/12/11

Not what I expected based on my previous luaus on other islands. I missed the pulling the lig from the ground, the games before hand, dance together. I can only blame Covid

Luau was disappointing

Reviewed by: Maria, 2021/12/04

Due to the possibility of rain the show was rushed. The performers did not stay long enough for pictures. The hula lesson was not done.

The only thing that was good is the location of our table. So close to the stage. Loving it. The location of check was mislead and very unorganized

Great time!!

Reviewed by: Lisa, 2021/11/14

This was our very first time in Hawaii, and of course our first luau. The show was great, the food was good, and so were the drinks! It was a beautiful evening and very well done, and completely safe! I highly recommend this luau whether it’s your first or you are a seasoned professional!

Great show, tasty food, friendly staff

Reviewed by: eburatto, 2021/10/20

This was our first luau experience and it did not disappoint! We were all very pleased with the friendliness of the staff, the beautiful location, the delicious food, and the spectacular show. It was really entertaining!
Just one thing I found odd was that the Mai Tais felt "virgin". I am a very light drinker, and I get tipsy with 2 glasses of wine, but I had 5 Mai Tais and I was completely sober... weird. They were delicious though! That's why I had 5 :)

Island Breeze luau

Reviewed by: Becky, 2021/09/25

The islander Breeze Luau was everything we expected and more. The staff went above and beyond to make sure that Covid restrictions were in place and the experience was not compromised. Each party had their own table that was 6 feet apart. The food was fantastic and fresh! The drinks were good as well! And the star of the show was the music, dancers and the master of ceremonies! They all really put their aloha into the show! Thank you for a great experience.

Not what I expected

Reviewed by: GnC, 2021/09/21

I give the music snd dancing all the credit. It was a wonderful show. My impression of the food was it was just ok. Maybe we just don’t like Hawaiian
Food but thanks for trying. The deserts were soggy and lacked flavor. For the total experience, this was way over priced and disappointing.I don’t think I would recommend this luau to my friends due to the food.

family fun

Reviewed by: Lina, 2021/09/12

We decided on this luau -from many- because they were family friendly and the other reviews. They were right, we had a blast. The staff were so accommodating to my daughter (1.5yo). She loved the show and even tried to Hula. We were also celebrating my moms 77th birthday and she loved it too. The best buffet of hawaii's essential plates and desserts too. I would definitely would go back.

Well done show, good food

Reviewed by: jpimsler, 2021/05/22

On the specific date we went it rained, so that's a lost star that's in no way their fault! If we had wanted to leave and not stay in the rain they would have given us a refund or moved the tickets to a different date.

The show as very educational and the dancing was great! Our one year old was in a trance! Such awesome culture across the Pacific islands. The food was really good and big portions/as much as you want since it's a buffet. Before you leave check out the Hawaiian/Polynesian exhibit inside the hotel.
