Good for what it is

Reviewed by: Ben, 2013/08/31

This luau is what you'd expect from a commercial venture. The food is decent, but the entertainment could have been better. I thought the dancers were good, but the other acts were sorely lacking in depth and quality. Our group attendant was great, full of humor and a general pleasure to listen to.
For what it is, I'd say I had a good time. Don't expect any real cultural enrichment though, it's just good mindless fun.

Very organized from the minute you step on the bus..lots of activities offered, delicious meal and good entertainment! Beautiful sunset on the west side of the island.. Well worth the $ spent:)

A good time to experience the culture and take in some views. No need for upgrading to a better package though. Still we had ourselves a good time.

Best Luau!

Reviewed by: Allie Frey, 2013/06/28

I went to Paradise Cove as part of a group of 4 18 year old girls. This luau was a definite highlight of our trip! All of the activities were interesting, and the lines for tattoos, leis, etc. all went pretty quickly! Above that, the food was awesome! If you are looking for a great luau, go to Paradise Cove!

Luau was a Great Experience

Reviewed by: Nick, 2013/06/25

My wife and I attended this Luau for our Honeymoon. The entertainment and hospitatity were excellent. The food was ok. My wife, who was promised a gluten free option, was not happy because she was limited on what she could eat. Other than that, it was a very goood time for the both of us.

Lots of fun at luau

Reviewed by: Heidi W., 2013/06/22

The luau in Ko Olina was amazing. We have 3-1/2 & 1-1/2 year old girls and even they loved the show especially the fire at the end. We sat in the VIP area and would recommend attending!

It's a good experience for first timers at luaus. The food was mediocre and the performances were average. The fire dancer was the highlight of the evening.

Good Show, Decent Food

Reviewed by: J Johnson, 2013/06/10

Overall it was a nice show. The majority of the time there is spent doing crafts or browsing the many shops with things for sale, so the show really is only a small part of the event. The food was pretty good; however, our food was cold due to the order that they served it. Being as we had the highest priced VIP package you would have thought we would have been served first; nope. We were dead last and had cold food, although the flavor was still very good. I think it is worth doing while visiting the island, I would just not suggest the expensive packages as there is no real benefit.

Absolutely loved it. Thou our bus was 30 minutes late, had to call to find out where they were. Once again was ask for a gratuity. Asi stated on previous reviews I found this offensive I am not tipped for doing my job. Gratuity is for servers/waitresses who make like $2.00.

Could have been a lot better

Reviewed by: JMDZ, 2013/04/21

Firstly, the bus was very very very very late. Not fun when you have a bunch of know-it-all tourists waiting to get someplace. We ended up driving ourselves, even though we had paid for transportation there and back.

Secondly, the food was average, at best. The pasta salad was bland, the macaroni salad too mayonnaisey, the fried chicken was old and you could taste the freezer-burn, the desserts were average and dry and the drinks weren't strong enough. The only reason we are rating this "average", rather than Bad, is because the view/scenery was spectacular!

Never again!

There was always something for us to be involved in. Between the games and shows we had an absolutely wonderful time. Good food and great location. Easy to park as we had our own car. On the beach with a perfect sunset over one of the shows that was going on. Nothing but Fun!

Not to miss

Reviewed by: Dee, 2013/03/02

This is the best Luau and a must see!
From the beginning of the bus ride out of Waikiki to the final drop off this was a treat. Everyone going to Hawaii should see this at least once.
Cousin Mo was so funny and informative on the bus that it really made it fun. There are great activities at the Luau and you really experience the hospitality and sprit of Aloha.
This was my second time to Paradise cove and it did not dissapoint. I took my brother and he loved it.
We bought the front row tickets and had great seats....just don't expect your ticket price to deliver a top notch dinner. The food is good and the pork exceptional but not what I would spend $120 on. All the other inculsions make it really worth it.
I would go back again and again

Unbelievable experience

Reviewed by: dream vacationer, 2013/02/07

A luau has been a dream of mine for as long as I can remember. I had such high expectations that I was expecting to be let down. I can honestly say that all of my expectations were met and then some.
This was the highlight of our vacation. If you have the opportunity to attend the Paradise Cove Luau, please don't miss it!

This was my first time to Hawaii and a luau. I read the reviews of the luaus available on Oahu and chose Paradise Cove. We enjoyed a beautiful ocean sunset, good food and great entertainment. I would come back and would recommend the Paradise Cove luau.

The Second Time

Reviewed by: Russ Matthews, 2012/10/14

This was the second time that we had attended this event. The first time was in 2010 right after we got married on the beach.

This time, we brought another couple as told them just how great of an event that it would be and you would be sorry if you did not attend.

After the Luau, they both agreed that it was worth the time and money. The shops are great, the events are wonderful, the food is superb, and the show is fantastic.

I would recommend this Luau to whomever I see and/or states that they are going to Hawaii.

Last but surely not least, the lady (Bev) that was assigned to us for the evening was just the cherry on top of the Sunday. She needs to be praised for her wit, professionalism, her personality, and maybe even her dance (I would give her a 8.5).

May you continue to provide the, "Best Luau on the Island!"

Once again, "We will be back" and thank you.

LOVED IT!

Reviewed by: Rebecca Fletcher, 2012/10/05

I was a little anxious about picking out a luau because of how long they all are. However, the Paradise Cove luau has lots of activities so you don't have to worry about getting bored.We got the basic package with no frills and there was plenty to enjoy. The drinks were great, the buffet was just wonderful, the dancers were amazing--it was my favorite event of our trip! I even got on the stage for the hula dance lesson!

Happy Birthday to Me!

Reviewed by: Vilma Garibaldi, 2012/09/21

The Luau is so much fun, they have some games, and you can ride a canoe, take pictures with some beautiful birds, and there are jewerly that you can buy. I love this purple earrings that I bought! The food is good, but the drinks are water down. I would defintely go again. Hey when your in Hawaii you gots to go to a Laua. Also our activity guy was cuzin Mo, and if you get him, he is sooo funny! He made our ride to the Luau(about 30mins or so)not boring at all. He was singing and making jokes and everything. So if you get him, your very LUCY!
