Paradise Cove Luau on the Beach at Ko Olina Resort

A WONDERFUL TIME WAS HAD BY ALL

Reviewed by: Aloha Joe

During our week on Oahu, we always attend a lu'au and our favorite is Paradise Cove! This was an annual gathering of Aloha Joe's Radio & TV listeners who join us from all over the planet. We all agree that the food & entertainment at Paradise Cove is THE BEST.

  • Always a great sunset @ Paradise Cove

Paradise Cove Luau on the Beach at Ko Olina Resort

Paradise Cove is a must

Reviewed by: Petals4Zuzu

The meal was fine but the entertainment and the "carnival" atmosphere was the best. We have girls 12-20 years of age and each thoroughly enjoyed the vendors, the activities, the interactive things to do before the dinner and show. The meal starts at 7:00 PM but people must show up early (around 4:45 the gates open) to enjoy the cultural activities prior. First rate and all included in the price. My daughters all appreciated the good-looking performers, especially the "Fire King".

伝統ルアウ&ハワイアンショー「パラダイス・コーブ 」開放的なオーシャンフロントで本場の雰囲気を味わえるショーやサンセット鑑賞<現地集合可/コオリナ・リゾート内>

If only I could speak English. 英語ができれば。

Reviewed by: momonga

This was my first time in Hawaii. I signed up for this tour because I wanted to see authentic hula dancing. When I got on the designated large bus at the hotel, it turned out we were the only Japanese people. The guide's announcements were all in English. When we arrived at the venue, I had a bad feeling as there were about 3,000 to 4,000 participants, almost 100% of whom were from Western countries, and I think there were probably fewer than three groups of Japanese people. The show was wonderful, but if you're not used to foreigners and not quite proficient in English, you might feel overwhelmed.

初めてのハワイ。本場のフラダンスが見たくてこのツアーを申し込みました。ホテルで指定の大型バスに乗ったらなんと日本人は私たちだけ。ガイドの案内もすべて英語オンリー。不吉な予感のまま会場についたら全体で軽く3~4千人はいる参加者はほぼ100%欧米の方で日本人はたぶん3組以下だったと思います。ショーはすばらしかったのですが外人なれしていて英語が相当達者な人でないとたぶんめげてしまうかも。

The weather is disappointing. 天気が残念

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

This was my second time participating. The last time (two years ago) was really great, so I joined again. Unfortunately, due to bad weather, it was held indoors, which was a bit disappointing. The fire dance was the only part that took place outside, but the wind was strong, and it was unfortunate to see the dancer getting the flames on their body and face. Since it was my second time, and almost everything was the same as last time, I don't think I want to participate again. However, it did create good memories in Hawaii. I go to Hawaii every year, so I hope more new shows will be added.

今回二回目の参加です
前回(二年前)がとっても良かったので、再度参加
あいにく悪天候で室内での開催となってしまい、少し残念でした
ファイアーダンスだけは外でされたのですが、風が強くて、ダンスをする方が
炎が体や顔に当たって、見るのが気の毒でした
二回目だったのですが、前回とほとんどしていることが同じだったので、もう再度
参加したいとは思わないです
でもハワイでの良い思い出にはなりました
毎年ハワイに行っているので、新しいショーがもっと増える事を願います

Reviewed by: Amanda

First time to go to this Luau with my husband and friends. Had a lot of great activities, not too crowded. It was definitely worth paying for the gold vip box seats so we didn't have to wait in the buffet line or sit at a table with 20 other people. The food was decent and the entertainment was excellent. Really enjoyed the show and everything about the luau experience. Would definitely do it again1

It was good. 良かった

Reviewed by: yuuyuu

The atmosphere and the show were good, but the food was lacking. As mentioned in other reviews, we were the only Japanese people on the bus. The performance during the ride back and forth was confusing if you don't understand English. It also took longer to get from Honolulu than I expected. I think once is enough.

雰囲気、ショーなどはよかったですが、食事がいまいちでした。他の方のクチコミ通り日本の方は自分達の乗ったバスも私達だけでした。行き帰りの車内のパフォーマンスも英語が解らないと?です。ホノルルからも思ったより時間がかかりました。1回でいいかな。

Aha Aina Royal Hawaiian Luau - Waikiki Oceanfront Luau Dinner Show

Luau

Reviewed by: Cynthia

Expected a spectacular show with lots of fire and dance. It rained right before the start of the show so it had to be moved inside. Not your fault, but completely deflated the mood. I would rather of been refunded. Too expensive of a ticket to be moved indoors and be satisfied. Very disappointed in the show. Not what we expected.

Reply from activity provider

Dear Cynthia,

Thank you for sharing your experience at our Aha Aina Luau in The Royal Hawaiian, a Luxury Collection Resort. We are disappointed to learn that our show was moved into our Monarch Room due to the unpleasant weather and we sincerely apologize for the underwhelming experience. We will share your feedback with our team to elevate the experience. Thank you for your valued feedback and we hope to welcome you back someday to an outdoor Royal Celebration. Warmest aloha.

Reviewed by: pikake

I had a great time!! I'm glad I chose the Deluxe Dinner Package. The show was wonderful. The food was okay, but it seems the drinks didn't suit my husband's taste. The cocktails were on the sweeter side, and there were no beer or whiskey options. I had a bit of trouble keeping up with the foreigners (mostly non-Japanese) on the bus ride to and from the venue, but that was also fun. It was a valuable experience that felt like stepping into another world for a moment.

とても楽しかったです!!デラックス・ディナー・パッケージを選んで良かったです。ショーは素晴らしかったです。食事はまあまあ、飲み物は主人の口には合わなかった様です。カクテル甘めで、ビール・ウィスキー等なし。行き帰りのバスの中の外国人(ほとんど外人)にはなかなかついて行けませんでしたが、これも又楽しかったです。一時別世界に入り込んだような貴重な体験でした。

Polynesian culture ポリネシア文化

Reviewed by: ジャスミン

The welcome bus arrived before the scheduled time, and one of our companions seemed to be running late. Upon arrival, we were greeted with a welcome drink, and since the legal drinking age in Hawaii is 21, the two companions were asked to show their passports (they looked young). We were welcomed with shell leis. We could enjoy various activities until sunset, but the most unique for me was climbing the palm trees. The sunset was very beautiful. We also received two drink vouchers, which was enough for me. The meal was a standard course but delicious. The Polynesian show was very impressive and fulfilling. The guide's talk on the bus to and from the venue was all in English, so I think it's great for those who want to study English... I understood some parts. I learned about the origin of the name ABC Mart and the meaning of 'ohana'. I believe we spent our evening to night time meaningfully.

迎えのバスは、時間前に来ており、私たちの仲間の方が遅れそうでした。着いてから、まず、ウエルカムドリンクで迎えられ、ハワイでは、飲酒できるのが21歳以上ということで、連れの二人は、パスポートの提示を求められました。(若く見られました。)貝のレイで歓迎されました。夕日が沈む前まで、いろいろなアクティビティを楽しむことができるのですが、ヤシの木上りが私には一番珍しかったです。
有日が沈むところは、とても綺麗でした。ドリンク券も2枚付いていて、私には十分でした。
食事もスタンダードコースでしたが、美味しかったです。ポリネシアのショーもとても見ごたえがあり、充実していました。行き帰りのバスの中のガイドさんのお話は全て英語なので、英語を勉強したい方には良いと思います。・・・時々わかりました。ABCマートの名前の由来、オハナの意味など、勉強することができました。夕方から夜にかけての時間を有意義に過ごせたと思います。

This is my third time as a repeat visitor. This time, we were the only two Japanese people on the bus. Even though I couldn't understand the jokes the guide was making, it felt like entering a different world, and that was enjoyable. The seats at Orchid were great for watching the show. I think I will go again next year.

もう今回で、三回目のリピーターです。今回もバスの中は、日本人は私たち二人だけ。何やらジョークをガイドが言っても わかりませんが、別世界に入ったみたいで、それが楽しい。

Reviewed by: あおあらし

I splurged on a premium seat.
I was seated in the front row center and enjoyed the show.
However, there were many people from other countries,
and I couldn't say that the conversation flowed with the Americans and Australians at my table.
(It's probably because I can't speak English.)
The luau was wonderful, especially the final fire dance, which was spectacular.
The food was just okay.
I'm glad I decided to participate.

奮発してプレミア席にしました。
中央最前列の席となり、ショーを楽しめました。
ただし、他国からの方も多く、
自分はアメリカ国内の方、オーストラリアからの方と同じテーブルで、
会話は弾んだと言えませんでした。
(自分が英語が話せないのでしょうがないですが)
ルアウは素晴らしく、とくにラストのファイアーダンスは圧巻でした。
料理はまあまあでした。

We got there late and didn't get to watch all the event in the beginning but what we did watch was interesting. You can get pictures painted on your arm or other areas of your choice. We all got a flower bracelet. It was fresh flower! The ocean view was breath-taking especially when the sun is setting. The food is good, just not sure that traditional is it. Performance was great also. All in all, a great experience!
