This was our first luau and it was exceptional! The staff was courteous, professional, welcoming, and overall delightful! The food was very well prepared and there was a wide variety of selections. The show was both entertaining as well as informative and all of the performers ( host, dancers, and musicians) were great!!
I would love to do this again some time!

I enjoyed a traditional luau and music show in a lovely atmosphere. The fire dance was wonderful.
The seating was communal, which can feel a bit uncomfortable when it's crowded.
The buffet was decent in taste.
素敵な雰囲気の会場で伝統的なルアウやミュージックショーを楽しめました。ファイヤーダンス含め素晴らしかったです。
席は相席のようになっており、混んでいると少し落ち着かないです。
またビュッフェも味はまぁまぁでした。

The Oceanfront Royal Kona Luau was so beautiful. I would definitely recommend for anyone wanting to see a beautiful sunset and a great performance. I absolutely loved the ambiance and the show. The food and food service was just ok and the event felt very touristy, so many people.

Overall a great evening. Missing pig ceremony is the only regret.
Dancers and fire workers were all very good.
Wish they would have had table appetizers like a few years ago. They did not offer Lei for purchase. When we asked valet for a Lei they were rude and said for guests only.
Location was pretty but no view of ocean.
Food was nicely presented and tasty.

I stayed at the Royal Kona Resort, which overlooks the show venue. As mentioned in the reviews, you can also see it from the poolside, but if you want to see the entire show, which lasts just under an hour, I think it's better to sit in the venue. If you expect good seating and service, the premium seats would be a better choice.
As I read in the reviews beforehand, I lined up 15 minutes before the reception started to get a good seat. Upon entry, we chose our drinks at the counter in order, and then we had to go pick them up ourselves. In the premium seats, they come to take your drink orders and bring them to you.
When the meals are ready, they guide each table. I didn't have high expectations for the food, so I took a small portion, but I was able to finish it all, so I think it wasn't that bad.
The show started earlier than I expected, before sunset, and it ended with the sun going down. The dancing included Polynesian dances, including fire dancing, which got the audience involved and excited. At the end, you can take a commemorative photo with the performers on stage in the background. You can also purchase photos taken of your group upon entry.
ショーの会場のロイヤルコナリゾートに宿泊して、たまたま会場を見下ろせる部屋でした。また、口コミ通り、プールサイドからも見えますが、1時間弱のショーを全部見るなら会場の席に座って観た方がよいと思います。席の位置やサービスを期待するなら上級席の方が良いでしょう。
事前に読んだ口コミ通り、良い席に座れるように受付開始15分前から並びました。入場時に飲み物カウンターで順番に飲み物を選んで手渡され、後は自分でカウンターへ取りに行きます。上級席では飲み物の注文を取りに来て、持ってきてくれます。
食事は準備ができるとテーブル毎に案内されます。もともと食事には期待していなかったので少なめに取ったのですが、残さずに食べられたのでそれほど悪くはなかったと思います。
ショーは思ったより早く、日が落ちる前に始まり、途中で沈みました。踊りはハワイ島というよりもファイアーダンスも含めたポリネシアンダンスで、会場から参加を募ったり盛り上がりました。最後には舞台上の出演者を背景にした記念写真が撮れます。また、入場時にグループ毎に撮影した写真を購入することもできます。

This was a pretty fun show to attend. One thing I like a a luau is some of the history of the Hawaiian Islands and Polynesia and this show had some good dances going over the history and region. The house band was excellent and the host, while being kind of Vegas lounge singer-esque, hit a tone that was welcoming and fun. There was some audience participation and the event was generally a good time. The food and drinks we're a little less impressive and while they were as advertised and a typical luau fair, the quality was more of a banquet at a hotel style and the main reason for the 4 star over the 5 star. Fun luau, worth the purchase.

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.

Had seating for 5 and was awesome to get our photo taken so if we wanted, we could purchase after the show. It rained in the beginning for half an hour but they had ponchos for everyone. Finally the rain stopped and the music was cool. We got to eat and the show started. Loved everything about the host and how he explained everything like a story teller. My family enjoyed the food and the show. The luau was great and we left happy! Photos and memories! I recommend for sure. Mahalo!

We had a great time at the Royal Kona Voyagers of the Pacific luau. The dancers and musicians were wonderful, the setting was stunning and the food was very filling. I would recommend planning on getting there a bit early as parking does get crowded and you do have to wait in line to check in, but the process was quick and very smooth.

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.

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.

Overall, this was a good experience for my family. We went with 3 kids and 6 adults including grandparents. The food was tasty, but not a lot of choices for picky eaters. The show was fun and the kids were thrilled by the fire dancer! Unfortunately, due to Covid restrictions, they did not have any pre-event activities to keep the kids engaged. My daughter really wanted to learn to hula dance as advertised, but they did not have it the night we went. I cannot fault them for taking Covid precautions. Again, overall, the whole family walked away from this happy and with good memories.

All of my expectations were delivered. Everything I imagined the Luau would be or could be was beyond my dreams. The staff was wonderful, the waiters were attentive and friendly. There will definitely be a next time to the island. The acknowledgment of birthdays, anniversaries and honeymooners was a joy to see. I met one of the birthday girls and a newly married couple it was a pleasure to celebrate with them all. ALOHA!!
