Paradise Cove Luau on the Beach at Ko Olina Resort

Paradise Cove Review

Reviewed by: The Sager’s

The grounds are beautiful, but it was just an average experience in our opinion. This luau show itself was low energy and our bus leader was on the over stressed and anxious side. The pre show had all sorts of activities going on that made the experience more enjoyable for anyone with kiddos. The lines for drinks were plentiful and went very well. The buffet food lines seemed to be going in the wrong or opposite direction, as one had to traverse everyone in line with a full plate of food.

Paradise cove luau on the beach at Ko Olina Resort

Reviewed by: Buckner family

My overall experience at this resort was that it was a beautiful place to enjoy and experience laughter, family, love and great music. The resort overall was beautiful sensory with singing and luau dancers dancing next to the ocean. There were items that we didn’t like for example the food. The food was cold and very uncomfortable unclean. What I mean by this is that it was more like a buffet before COVID was established., no one was serving our food and we had to serve ourselves, just a recipe for disaster. Our seating arrangements at the luau were very confusing too, we given a guide to seat us, to sit us by a number system arranged on the tables., with the number of people at this luau their so be a better system on how they seat people for a better experience.

Germaine's Luau - Fun Backyard Style Luau with Dinner, Show & Fire-Knife Dance

It was an amazing experience!

Reviewed by: Evelyn

Loved the activity! The travel was not too long. Food was really good and we could go for seconds. I got the VIP package and it was definitely worth it because it gets you closer to the stage, two framed photos to take back home as well as 3 comp drinks and some additional swag. Overall it was a great experience, the show went on longer than expected but we were okay with it. Highly recommend!

Aloha Evelyn, First of all thank you so much for taking time out of your busy day to write about your experience at our family luau! So happy to hear that you were pleased with your premier seating in our Plumeria package, and the extra amenities, or as you stated "additional swag". We're also glad that you enjoyed our delicious buffet, a variety of island favorites. We hope you will share your time at our luau with your family and friends back home, and hopefully you'll be able to come back to our beautiful island one day, and maybe even come back to visit us too!!

From 5-645 you just check out some activities that they have. Its a sand beach so wear appropriate shoes. Meal is ok and entertainment is good. I feel they should get a better description of the evening.

Germaine's Luau - Fun Backyard Style Luau with Dinner, Show & Fire-Knife Dance

A Nice Experience

Reviewed by: John A

The Luau was a nice night out. If you are going a couple of tips: 1) opt in for the bus transportation. The site is about an hour from Waikiki in an industrial park. 2) Get the VIP seats. We were seated right next to the stage and received a photo and 3 free drinks. The stage show was excellent and authentic. The food was hit or miss. It was served cafeteria style where you had to go in a serving line like a cafeteria. The pork was 5 stars, while the rest of the meal was 3 stars. Overall, a nice evening next to the ocean (Excellent Views).

Reply from activity provider

Aloha John, Thank you so much for choosing our luau, and so happy to hear that you had a nice experience. We feel the bus transportation is the best option, it may be a long ride getting there, but safer on your return if you're going to enjoy a few cocktails. Our VIP, or Plumeria Luau package was a great choice, with the extra amenities, 3 drink tickets, and the souvenir photo, as well as the Premiere seating! We appreciate you taking time to share your experience with us, and hope you will share your beautiful photos with your friends & family! Mahalo, Germaine's Luau

Paradise Cove experience

Reviewed by: Rbj

We had a very enjoyable time at Paradise Cove. From the start when our bus driver and tour guide picked us up until they dropped us off, it was exceptional. The activities before the main performance were very good. The live performance was exceptional. The dancers and other performers were great. The food and beverages were good as well. All in all, this was one of the highlights of our vacation on Oahu.

Paradise Cove Luau on the Beach at Ko Olina Resort

Such a eventful luau

Reviewed by: Gziggy01

The luau was on a beach so the views were incredible. The luau itself always had something to do during the 4 hours you were there. There were 600 people there and they had activities you can do until the show started such as taking pics with colorful parrots (costs extra), kayaking, and throwing arrows. The buffet was pre-portioned and consisted of fried fish, Pork, buns, poi, salad, rice, a cupcake, and ribs. It was very filling. The show was very comical and i highly recommend. I just wish the seating was a little closer since I was at the winged tables.

Awesome luau, beautiful falls hike

Reviewed by: Michelle B

This luau was our first one but far superior to another one we did later in our trip. The food was great, the scenery gorgeous, and the performers were talented and entertaining. The MC Cousin Billy was truly funny and informative. We had a blast! The next day we did the hike to Waimea Falls and that was excellent as well. I could have floated in the waterfall all day. We spent part of each North Shore day at the Waimea Falls complex and I highly recommend it.

Aloha Michelle, and mahalo for your review! We are delighted to know you had a great time at the luau and we are so glad too that you were able to come back to Waimea Valley to tour the waterfalls and the botanical garden. Unfortunately, it's not something that everybody gets to do. I'm just so glad you made it. :-) Mahalo for your kind review really; it's something that we take joy from, knowing that what we have set out to do is meeting expectations, and we intend to keep it that way. We hope to see you again - come see us when you're back in the island. Until then, may God bless you and yours :-)
