Royal Kona Resort Luau

Reviewed by: Todd, 2018/06/18

Overall, this was as a good luau experience. The show was excellent and the food was also excellent and plenty of variety. The setting is beautiful. The open bar was very good. There was not a lot of room, however, considering they were serving over 500 people (I overheard an organizer tell a waiter it was "515 people tonight"). The seating was a bit cramped. The ancillary activities (lei making for example) was fairly limited and not too well publicized. Those were the things that made our luau in Oahu truly special and yet we weren't able to take advantage of them since the supplies were limited.

Really enjoyed the Luau. Food was great. Entertainment was very good.
Recommend leaving early to go as there were delays due to road construction.(but not their issue)

家族で観ました。
オアフ島でも別のルアウ を観ましたが、ここのロイヤルコナのルアウ はとても良かったです。
サンセットも素晴らしかったです。踊りも素敵で、司会も上品でよかったです。
また、ハワイ島に行くときは是非行きたいです。

Luau

Reviewed by: Julie, 2017/10/13

We arranged our dinner plans through Veltra for a great luau experience which was spectacular.
We came to Hawaii for our honeymoon.
Everyone at the luau were very friendly in greeting everyone and keeping us posted on the weather which ended up being nice vs pouring rain.
I hope we can come back again with our kids.

This was our first trip to Hawaii and we wanted to experience a luau. The fire dancers, food, and overall experience was amazing! We would definitely recommend this show to anyone visiting the area.

Great Venue

Reviewed by: Reuben, 2017/08/02

We had a great time at the Luau, it could have used a better set up for the Adult Beverages there was only one line for that and had to wait which caused us to miss a few of the performances, but all in all was really fun for my Girlfriend and I..

Perfect for your little hula dancer!

Reviewed by: Sandra, 2017/06/21

I took my 5-year-old daughter to this luau. She loved it! She referred to the fire dancer as David from Lilo and Stitch. The food was amazing, though it took a while to get to since it's buffet style and lots of people to feed. Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting Kona.

Great Hawaiian Luau experience

Reviewed by: Sue Fraser , 2017/04/06

We attended the luau on March 29, 2017 and had a lovely time. It was a buffet style and you could make more than one trip to the table - and to the open bar until 7:00pm. The Mai tais, were delicious, punch bowl style and self serve. The food was good, not great, but there was a good variety. The entertainment was fun to watch, the dances from the different Polynesian Islands were interesting, especially the fire dancer! You can't go to Hawaii without a luau and this is a good one to check out.

Evening in Paradise

Reviewed by: omg9, 2017/03/11

We attended the Royal Kona Luau twice during our month in Hawaii. Both times were very enjoyable. All of the food is excellent, and the show is very entertaining. I am sure we will do this activity again, the next time we visit the island.

Very Average Show

Reviewed by: Bob, 2016/12/26

Show was average without much real focus on the Polynesian or South Pacific cultures. Fire dancer best part of show the rest were just okay. A lot of waiting in lines and seating was poor when not sitting in reserved seats. Been to much better more intimate shows on Maui.

Ive had better

Reviewed by: Tessa, 2016/12/15

I was expecting it to be outdoors... due to weather condition, they directed us to go inside as it might rain. They told us to check in 15mins early and we were in line for for 20mins waiting for them to set up. They said its unlimited drinks (all you can drink) maitais with 0percent alcohol! I dont know what they were putting in my drink (a rum looking liquid) but you wouldnt taste any alcohol--- i must know i am a light drinker--- i would turn red and get light headed after a drink and i had 5 of those juice that they were calling maitai and it didnt even do anything to me! Food was great! That i'd give to them! I was expecting a reenactment of the island's history (like what i have experienced in Kauai), i didnt get that from the Royal kona luau. Hula dancers were entertaining but it seems like it was missing something! The fire show was awesome--- i think that was my only favorite part. The emcee tried her best. Over all, i would research more and shop around for another Luau before i'd go to Royal Kona Luau again--- that's if I do.

why not.

Reviewed by: Larry, 2016/10/27

No trip to Hawaii complete without the luau. The girls were great, the guys were great and the host was the best. The meal was top notch and there was poi. The open bar didn't stay open long enough though in my opinion. Otherwise a great experience. Must see.

Great entertainment

Reviewed by: Izabel, 2016/10/01

We had a wonderful evening at this Luau. The fire dancer was particulary amazing. Great buffet. One small complaint: $20.00 for one couple picture at the Luau seemed, to us, overpriced. We noticed that a lot of guests did not purchase it, probably for the same reason as us.

Voyagers of the Pacific Luau Review

Reviewed by: Family traveler, 2016/08/18

We originally arrived on a Friday to see the show, but shortly after we started the meal,we were completely rained out. That was very disappointing and upsetting that we weren't forewarned by email about the strong possibility of rain, as we had come over from Hilo for the luau. However, we received a rain check for another luau on the following Monday. Fortunately, we were able to rearrange our schedule to come before flying home. The Monday night luau was lovely - entertainment and emcee were fantastic all around. Food was good, not great. Service was okay. Location was beautiful.

Great performance

Reviewed by: BeePos, 2016/07/25

Talented and great looking actors, musicians and hostess. The food was high quality. The only thing that kept me from giving it 5 stars is the Mai Tais. They were mainly juice, super sweet and head-ache inducing. The bar closed much earlier than dinner ended, so I couldn't take advantage of the open bar. Another thing that didn't seem fair is that teenagers paid the same as adults. And of course they weren't drinking...

Reviewed by: Steve C, 2016/07/24

We thoroughly enjoyed the show. Even a little rain just added to the entertainment. Good buffet with plenty to choose from with foods both familiar and local. Nice atmosphere on the lawn by the ocean. Fire dancer was pretty awesome. Great view of the sunset. We would do this again.

Ruined by inconsiderate people

Reviewed by: Sandy, 2016/07/22

All the good tables are marked reserved. To see the show people in the tables in front of you need to stay seated. The staff should encourage people to consider others and ask them to stay seated, but they don't. One man set up a tripod in the middle of the table with a camera on it which destroyed the view and another woman at the same table stood and raised an i pad above her head which destroyed the view on the right side of the table. NO consideration for others in the tables behind them. The food was excellent and I am sure the show was good too....if only I could have seen it. The blowing of the conch shell was inaudible. That was a first and I have been to several luaus. Plenty of alcohol was served and a lot of folks were blitzed before the show even started. In the end I would choose another luau to go to.

The Royal Flush

Reviewed by: Kirk, 2016/05/30

Not very excited about this one....i said average because i have been to the greatest of all Luaus on the islands, the Polynesian Cultural Center put on by Brigham Young University is a 5 star show. The Royal Kona was all about location. The food was a 2, the show was a 3 but the view beachside was a 5. Its kind of short, and the MC is pretty good but her singing voice could use a fee lessons. Shop around and ask the locals about Luaus....you really do get what you pay for...for 90 a person i was disappointed.
