Great show

Reviewed by: Klaus, 2020/01/16

The show was excellent and very entertaining. held in a big open tent which was a little cold when the rain started during the evening.
The food came in large boxes and was made hours before and lacked heating and taste.

Awesome food, entertainment ok, no view in a tent

Reviewed by: JRJ, 2019/11/30

Food at this luau was the best we have ever had., but no view of ocean. Evening was spent on side of resort inside a large tent. Thought we would have ocean views. Had to walk around to the back side of the resort to view the ocean. Dancers were average but entertaining.

Best Luau Ever!

Reviewed by: Tiffany D, 2019/06/23

I am so glad we decided to go to this Luau. The dancers were amazing, food terrific, and the gentleman who was leading the show was hilarious! I would definitely recommend this luau if you’re wanting a traditional Hawaiian luau. The announcer takes you through all the islands, explains the dances, and even teaches you how to say hello in Tahitian/Samoan/Hawaiian.

Amazing show! Delicious Food!

Reviewed by: ALucero, 2019/03/25

This was a great show last time I came to Kauai I went to Smith's and this was by far a better show. For one it was on the beach like a luau should be, The pork was delicious, not as strong tasting flavor like some. They had chicken as well. Salad, mac salad, desserts were delish, pineapple upside down cake. Yummmm! The food was amazing the dancers were awesome the singing was beautiful. The fire performer was freaking AMAZING! My 7 year old Granddaughter was engaged the whole show. Thanks to all the performers! Not to mention this was a great deal! Thanks again!

Great Luau Experience

Reviewed by: WillP, 2019/03/19

Luau Makaiwa was a great experience! The food was delicious. We loved the mai tais and pineapple juice. The management was top notched. They made sure we were taken care of. Entertainment was great! The music was very soothing. The dancers were very graceful.

I would recommend everyone to attend this luau because you will have a great time and will not regret it. Location is close to the beach. There was even a professional photographer.

A Luau to Remember

Reviewed by: NiaP, 2019/03/18

I had a fantastic time at the luau. I learned so much about Hawaii and the art hula while being entertained at the same time. The food was amazing (especially the kalua pork)! If my stomach would have let me, I would have ate so much more! I would definitely recommend people to go to this event.

Great Luau

Reviewed by: Pauline, 2019/02/19

The Luau Makaiwa was a fantastic experience. We visited the island in February and were greeted by lot of rain during the majority of our trip. Luckily, the Luau is inside a giant tent outside and by the water. The buffet food at the Luau was tasty! I wish there were more options for entrees and desserts however. Open bar had wine, beer, and mai tais. It was my boyfriend and I's first Luau and we both had a great time. This is a smaller production Luau which in many ways could be a great thing. Every table had a good view of the stage and it had a smaller family vibe rather than an extravagant production like the other luaus on the island. There were some vendors and activities planned but there could have been more in my opinion. The musicians and dancers were funny and talented. The performances were both entertaining and educational encompassing all of Polynesian culture. I can see this being a great activity for families who want to avoid the crazy crowds at the other Luaus and still get a authentic experience.

Luau

Reviewed by: Jana Rackley, 2019/01/06

This was my first Luau and wow what a great experience. I attended with my Mother. The place where the Luau was beautiful, although I wish it was slightly closer to the ocean!!
It was awesome to have vendors there, I got myself the cutest turtle necklace I had seen on the island.
The table where we were placed was directly mid stage which was perfect for the performances. The company at the table was also great. The food was delicious, desert was just ok. Open bar of Mai tais was of course amazing.
The performers were by far my favorite. So much beauty in the dancing, instruments, singing and their attire.
I was so happy to find this deal and was very impressed with my very first Luau.

The Maka’iwa luau

Reviewed by: Ileene Lipkin , 2018/12/14

What a fabulous time. Food entertainment and ambiance was just wonderful. In the past I have been to many luaus throughout the Hawaiian islands and I can honestly say this was the best.
Don’t miss this show in Kapa’a at the marriot. I happen to be a very particular eater and I loved the food.

Great Smaller Kid-Friendly Luau!

Reviewed by: Tesh Khullar, 2018/11/19

We have been to 2 other luaus on other Hawaiian islands and this was the best by far. We have 2 boys (9 and 7 year old) and the others we went to were way too large. This one was perfect size and had really nice activities for the kids (that the folks that ran them encouraged kids to do). In addition, the luau made sure our kids sat in the front of the table to have good views. We drove about 35 mins to get to this luau but was worth it and highly recommend it for those that are looking for an outing with kids.

Wonderful luau!

Reviewed by: R and D, 2018/11/13

We thoroughly enjoyed this luau! The singers, musicians, and dancers are all outstanding. Hula master Halao o Leilani does a beautiful job telling the stories of the islands through a variety of performances. It is a smaller venue for a luau and there was not a bad seat in the house. The luau is set in a big white open-aired tent along the shores of the Coconut Coast. We enjoyed walking around the grounds before the luau began. There was plenty of food and desserts and lots of refreshments. There are bottomless mai tais, beer, wine, and soda from 5:30 to 7pm. Be advised that the beverages are no longer served after 7pm. The performance goes until ~8:30pm. The mood at the luau was upbeat and celebratory and we were so glad we went!
