All Reviews for Food & Dining Experiences

Everything was smooth sailing from our pick up at the Hyatt to being delivered back to the Hyatt after. Boarding was quick and easy. We had a member with mobility issues and even though the boat was rocking a little bit while going through the buffet she made it safely back to her seat with all her food still on the plate. Our waiter was Ryan and he was great. Very efficient and he loves to dance. He led us on a music train around the room, then got up and danced on the stage.
Food was decent, what I will say is it is typical buffet food. Nothing stood out as a WOW. The entertainment was good and lively. Also typical Polynesian dances if you've been to a Luau. Fireworks at the end of the night were spectacular and watching them from the water was a highlight.

On est vraiment plongé dans l’apprentissage sur l’histoire des îles polynésiennes.

Le souper était à nouveau excellent et le spectacle HA le souffle de la vie est majestueux

It had been a while since my last trip to Hawaii. I always made sure to schedule a dinner show on the last day, but this time it coincided with the fireworks on Friday, so I decided to change the date. Since it was only the second day and I had an early morning tomorrow, I planned to keep it light and not order any alcohol. However, I ended up chatting with a Japanese couple at my table and joined in on their drinks.

I believe one of the joys of traveling is being able to hear stories and recommendations directly from those who have experienced various things. Anyway, the show was very entertaining. If it had been purely a Polynesian-style show, I might have dozed off due to jet lag and the early wake-up, as the music was quite soothing. However, the cast provided an entertaining performance that felt like a mini concert.

I particularly enjoyed the Michael Jackson segment, as I belong to that generation but had never been to one of his concerts, so I purely enjoyed the dance and singing. The couple I sat with seemed to be from the Elvis Presley generation, and they enjoyed it just as much.

The VIP package included drinks during the show, which was a nice touch. The food was also quite suitable for Japanese tastes, and I enjoyed it thoroughly. Although the buffet offered additional servings, it was so plentiful that I could hardly finish anything other than dessert.

I received a lei at the hotel and got another one here to take home. The scent of the flowers lingered in my room, and since it was only the second day, I kept it on display until my return.

久しぶりのハワイでした。ディナーショーは必ず最後の日に入れていましたが、今回は金曜日の花火と重なるので日にちをずらしました。まだ2日目で明日も早い為、お酒など注文せずに軽く過ごす予定でしたが同席の日本人ご夫婦とお話が弾み御相伴に預かる事になりました。

旅の醍醐味は色々経験された方からのお話やおススメスポットを直に聞ける事も含まれているのでは無いかと思います。
話はそれましたがショーはとても面白かったです。純粋にポリネシアンスタイルのショーだと、時差ぼけと早起きが続いて、音楽が穏やか過ぎて寝てしまいそうですがエンターテイメントなキャスト達が繰り広げるプチコンサートの様な形相もありました。
特にマイケルジャクソンは世代ですがコンサートに行った事無い為、純粋にダンスや歌を楽しみました。同席させて頂いたご夫婦はエルビスプレスリー世代だった様で、こちらも同じ様に楽しまれていました。
VIPのコースの予約にはショーの間のドリンクも用意されていたのでこちらも楽しみました。お食事は日本人にもあう内容だったので美味しく頂きました。ブュッフェは追加で頂く事も出来ましたが
種類豊富でデザート以外はおかわり出来ない位充実してましたよ。
ホテルで頂いたレイと、こちらでもレイを頂いて帰りましたがお花の香りがお部屋に漂ってまだ2日目の為帰国まで飾ってました

Show was great! Chief and his family put so much positive energy into the whole event! Food was very good!

ホノルルの夜に、最高の時間でした。プレスリー、マイケルジャクソンなど似ているかどうかは、別として、楽しい夜を過ごすことができます。

I was looking forward to the Polynesian dance, but aside from the last performer who used fire, the atmosphere was greatly diminished by the presence of mostly Western and Chinese-Japanese performers. After all, Polynesian dance should be performed by those who embody the Polynesian spirit... Other than that, I was satisfied.

ポリネシアのダンスを楽しみにしていたのに、最後の火を使った演技者以外は欧米系、中華日系で雰囲気が大きく損なわれた。
やはりポリネシアダンスはポリネシアンの雰囲気を持った方が踊らないと…
それ以外は満足です

Joshua was great at setting up everything and communicating. The charcuterie plate was good too. We had a lot of fun during the photoshoot. I only wish we had access to all the photos taken (we only received a selection of them).

The Polynesian show was impressive, with authentic impersonations and a perfect balance that kept us entertained without getting bored until the very end. We attended with three generations, and everyone, young and old, enjoyed it.

ポリネシアンのショーも迫力があり、ものまねも本格的で、バランスが丁度良く、飽きる事無く、最後まで楽しめました。3世代で参加しましたが、老若男女、楽しめました。

The buffet was very delicious. I was guided to a table with only Japanese people, so I was able to have a lively conversation with those nearby and enjoyed my meal. I think it would have been a bit tough if I had been surrounded by foreigners. I appreciated that consideration. Some people say that the time before the show was too long, but I personally didn't find it boring. With the extra time, I went back for seconds multiple times.

The show featured familiar numbers, and I enjoyed it normally. There was also hula dancing. However, while the impersonations of Elvis and Michael were amusing, there were few male backup dancers.

Since there isn't much to do at night, I think it's a good option as one of the many shows available. If you go without the buffet, it's cheaper, making it even more enjoyable.

ビュッフェはとても美味しかったです。日本人のみのテーブルに案内されたので、近くの方とお話しが弾み、食事中も楽しめました。外国人に囲まれていたら、ちょっとしんどかったとは思います。その配慮はありがたかったです。ショーまでの時間が長すぎる、という意見もありますが、私に限っては退屈はしませんでした。時間がある分、おかわりも何回もしました。
ショーも知っているナンバーばかりで、普通に楽しめます。フラダンスもありました。ただ、プレスリーやマイケルは似せていて面白いですが、男性バックダンサーが少なかったです。
夜は特にする事もないので、数あるショーの一つとして良いと思います。ブュッフェなしなら安いので、より楽しめると思います。

The food is delicious and very filling.

This is my second time, and I really enjoyed the show. I was amazed by the dancing skills, just like Michael! The fire show was also an impressive performance and a lot of fun!

料理もおいしくボリューム満点

もう2回目ですがショーは楽しませてもらえます。マイケルさながらのダンスのうまさにはびっくり！ファイアーショーも驚きのパフォーマンスで楽しいです！

I was able to make a reservation at a great deal using points. In expensive Hawaii, it didn't feel too pricey since it included tips. The day before, I had an à la carte meal at a different restaurant that cost $100, so I really think this was a great deal.

ポイントを使ってお得に予約できました。なんでも高いハワイでは、チップ込みなので高くは感じませんでした。前日違うお店でアラカルトで食事しましたが、100ドルでしたので、ホントにお得だと思います。

All of our kids loved it here, they had smiles on their faces all days thanks to the PCC staff!

Lots to see and taste, really good evening of Hawaiian culture!

Our favorite way to end of trip in Hawaii is at Mauka Luau, I love the new location!

The day is a very busy one, be prepared for a lot of activities, it is almost hard to hit everything in a day but the ticket does allow you to come back for the day touring!

Really wonderful to upgrade to this awesome dinner schedule

Not only do you get a great show you get a great laugh throughout - perfect balance!

The dancers and team are so talented, what an amazing show they pull off!

My kids loved all the pre-show fun they have included, and the food was actually pretty stinking good!

Sunset views from the deck were absolutely stunning, and the buffet had a great variety of delish foods!

Overall a fun night out with great food, beautiful scenery, and an unforgettable show.

We were looking for a dinner where we could enjoy a traditional Hawaiian show, as per our family's wishes. Usually, luau events are held away from Waikiki, but this one was conveniently located at the Hyatt in the city center, making it perfect for us since we had plans during the day!

Additionally, the buffet menu was excellent, and I believe even our family members who are not accustomed to international flavors enjoyed the meal!

As for the show itself, we were very satisfied with the ukulele performances and hula dancing at each table, as well as the opportunity to go up on stage for a hula dance experience and receive leis and kukui nuts!

If you're looking for a luau in Waikiki, I highly recommend this plan!

家族の希望で、ハワイの伝統的なショーが見られるディナーを探していました。
ルアウの開催地はワイキキから離れていることが多いのですが、こちらは中心地のハイアットで開催されていますので、日中に予定があった私たちにぴったりでした！
また、ビュッフェのメニューも申し分なく、海外の味に慣れていない家族も食事を楽しんでいたと思います！

肝心のショーについては、テーブルごとにウクレレ演奏&フラダンスや、ステージに上がってフラダンス体験、レイやククイのプレゼントがあったりと大変満足でした！

ワイキキ市内でのルアウをお探しならぜひお勧めしたいプランです！

Wonderful evening!
Delicious dinner, polite efficient staff

I have visited Kualoa Ranch many times, and I usually only did horseback riding, but due to the weak yen, I made a reservation for this experience this time. I was surprised to find such a place within Kualoa Ranch. However, the lunch was not good, and wild birds came to the dining area, making it very difficult to eat slowly. I wonder if it was hygienic? As for the afternoon cruise, it was very refreshing, but it was different from what I had expected, and I felt scared due to the strong winds. The explanations were in English, so I couldn't understand the content at all.

クアロアランチには何度も来ていて、いつもは乗馬だけでしたが、円安の状況で今回の内容で予約をしました。クアロアランチ内にあんな場所かあったとは驚きでした。ただランチの内容は良くなかったし、食事の場所に野鳥が来てとてもゆっくり食べれませんでした。衛生的にも良くないかと？午後からのクルーズですが、思っていたクルーズとは違いとても新鮮でしたが、強風にあおられて恐怖を感じました。英語でのでの説明でしたので内容も全く分かりませんでした。

The entertainment was top-notch and the food was delicious. I loved the different portions of entertainment that were designed around the various cultures that came together through history to make Hawaii what it is today. It was exactly the kind of experience and education I was hoping for.

Our tour bus did get stuck in some traffic and was slower due to picking up guests from multiple locations, and while I felt like that luau did their best to hold off on the main event (dinner and show) until we arrived (which I greatly appreciated), we did miss out on getting the full experience listed on the events description (i.e. "Interact up close and personal with your Pacific Island hosts with Hawaiian crafts, hula lessons, coconut husking, fire making, weaving, tattooing, and more. ") So if those activities are important to you, you might want to consider booking private transportation to the luau instead of taking the group shuttle option to make sure you arrive in plenty of time to get the full experience.

I went with my family because it looked delicious on a certain program, but even though we placed a green sign in a visible spot, it was ignored. The staff kept asking the white group behind us if they wanted meat.

I thought something was off, so I placed the sign on the corner of the table to make it more visible, but it was still ignored. Of course, our plates were empty. We had only eaten about four types of meat, and yet no one came to us at all.

I started to think that the staff who walked around with the meat could choose their favorite tables, and it seemed like they were deciding based on their preferences. It became quite obvious as I watched. I was genuinely disappointed to realize that the television show was staged.

At one point, a white staff member who was taking care of our table came over and asked, "Beef? Pork?"

As for the taste, the quality of the meat was very polarizing—some were delicious while others were mediocre. To put it simply, it was on par with all-you-can-eat places found in large shopping centers in Japan. Therefore, the price and the attitude of the staff are worlds apart from certain steakhouses or all-you-can-eat crab places in Waikiki. If you're focused on affordability, I would recommend it.

某番組で美味しそうだったので、家族で行きましたが見えやすいところに緑の札を置いてもスルー。後ろの白人グループへ常に肉がいるか聞いてました。
なんかおかしいな？と思ってテーブルの角に置いて見えやすくしてもスルー。もちろんお皿は空。まだ四種類くらいしか食べてないのに全く来ない。
肉を持って歩く店員は好きな席に行けるので、その店員さんの好みで決めてるのでは…と途中から思ってきました。よく見てるとそんな感じの店員がいるなぁ、と思ってくるレベルで分かりやすかったです。テレビは演出なんだな、と本気でがっかり。
見かねたのか、途中テーブル担当してくれた白人の方が「ビーフ？ポーク？」と聞きに来てくれました。
味ですが、美味しい肉とイマイチな肉が両極端です。分かりやすくいうと日本の大型ショッピングセンターに入ってる食べ放題の店、といったランクです。なのでワイキキにある某ステーキハウスや蟹が食べ放題の場所とは金額も店員の態度も雲泥の差です。安さ重視の方はオススメです。

On the first night after arriving in Hawaii, of course, when you think of Hawaii, you think of hula dancing. The singer's vocal ability and the dancers' amazing performances were truly moving. Beyond the songs and performances, I was astonished by the quick costume changes and reappearances—this is what Hawaii is all about! After that, I saw an impersonation show featuring Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson. While their appearances were remarkably similar, I was also impressed by both of their singing and dancing abilities. I definitely want to invite friends to join me the next time I visit Hawaii. Thank you!

ハワイに到着した初日の夜、やはりハワイと言えばフラダンス。そのシンガーの歌唱力、ダンサーの素晴らしい踊り！感動しました。これらの歌、演技もさることながら、次々と着替えて再登場する早技に驚き、これぞハワイ！を実感いたしました。そしてその後にそっくりショーとしてのエルヴィス・プレスリー、マイケル・ジャクソン見た目がそっくりと言う点も素晴らしいのですが、両者の歌唱力ダンス力、これにも感動しました。ぜひまたハワイへ訪れた際には友人を誘ってジョイントしたいと思っています。ありがとうございました。

The buffet was efficiently organized. During the meal, we were able to enjoy Hawaiian dance as well. The food was delicious.

The show felt like a true American entertainment experience. There were impersonations of Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson, and the surrounding dancers were skilled as well.

ビュッフェも手際良く案内してくれました。
食事中もハワイアンダンスを楽しむ事も出来ました。
料理も美味しかったです。

ショーはアメリカらしいエンターテイメントを感じました。
エルビス・プレスリーやマイケル・ジャクソンのモノマネ？も周りのダンサーも上手です。

Weather was bad - cold and windy, not something controllable. (Although given such wind and low temperature , it might have been ethical for the tour to cancel itself.) But 1) the bus had all of the boat waiting after the trip for about 30 minutes, 2) there wasn’t a sufficient wind shelter for everyone, meaning old ppl and babies were exposed to cold wind. The lunch was also meh - bbq is an overstatement for hamburger patties and buns. Crew was friendly.

Our guide was very knowledgable and entertaining. Our experience was well worth the cost. I would highly recommend.
