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.

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!

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.

I've seen various shows before, but this one seems to be aimed at first-timers. Since the duration is shorter, I think it's good for entertaining guests.
Being at the Hilton, you can get there by trolley or on foot, but as others have mentioned, the reception area is really hard to find. It was good that I arrived early and could get into the venue quickly.
Since I arrived too early, I think I got quite sunburned from the strong sunlight. Just when I thought the sun was going down, it started to rain heavily, and the hotel staff were handing out towels. It would be nice to have some kind of roof to shield from the rain (like a plant-covered roof).
今まで色々なショーを見てきましたが、こちらは初めての人向きですね。
時間が短めなので、接待にはいいと思います。
ヒルトンなので、トロリーでも歩いてでもいけますが、他の方が書いている通り、受付の場所がすごくわかりずらいです。
早めに行って、早めに会場に入れたので良かったですが。
早く入りすぎたため、日差しが強く相当焼けたと思います。
日が陰ってきたと思ったら、今度は雨が本格的に降ってきて、ホテルの方がタオルを配っていました。
多少なりとも雨が防げる屋根があるといいですね。(植物の屋根とか)

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.

My friend and I wanted to go to a luau, but didn't have much time, so this one located right in Waikiki was perfect! As we sat down, they came around with the complimentary Mai Tai (yummy!) and there was entertainment and live music as we relaxed.
The buffet was great, there was an assortment of food for everyone's tastes and my plate was huge by the time I got back to my table! The show was very entertaining and the fire knife dance at the end took our breaths away! You could feel the heat of the fire from the table. What a great way to end our day.

I got quite lost trying to find the venue within the Hilton, which is quite large, and I didn't know where the elevator to the venue was. After showing my ticket at the entrance, I received a shell necklace and was guided to my seat after taking a commemorative photo with the dancers (of course, the photo was paid). It seemed that the seating location (either in front of or behind the stage) was determined by the color of the ticket. I could enjoy up to two free drinks. The dinner was served buffet-style, with plenty of options that Japanese people could eat. Many of the local dancers had a great sense of humor and were fun, posing for the camera when I pointed it at them. During the show, a strong dancer suddenly called me over and took me to the center stage, where I was asked to blow a conch shell as a representative of the Japanese audience. I was confused but managed to do it, which was good. After that, I was taken to the stage again by a female dancer, and we danced together, shaking our hips vigorously. It felt like I was being targeted for some reason. I had a truly valuable experience and was very satisfied. I think participating in such unique Hawaiian events is a lot of fun.
ヒルトン内でもかなり広くてショーが行われる会場がどこか分からずかなり迷いました。会場に上がるエレベーターの場所が分からなかったです。入口でチケットを見せてから貝の首飾りをもらい、ダンサーと記念撮影(もちろん写真は有料)を終えた後に席に案内されました。チケットの色で席の場所(ステージの前か後)が決められているようでした。飲み物は2杯まで無料で飲めました。夕食はビュッフェ形式で日本人でも食べれるものばかり用意されていました。現地のダンサーの方はユーモアがありおもしろい人が多く、カメラを向けるとポーズをとってくれたりして楽しかったです。ショーの途中でいきなり屈強なダンサーにこっちに来いと言われ、中央の舞台に連れて行かれ日本人代表として客の前でホラ貝を吹けと言われ困惑しましたがなんとか吹くことができ良かったです。その後また女性のダンサーに舞台に連れて行かれて、一緒に腰を激しく振って踊りました。私はなぜか狙われていたかのようでした。かなり貴重な体験をして大変満足しました。このようなハワイ独特なイベントは参加すると楽しいと思います。

I read the reviews in advance and reserved the premium seats with less waiting time. On the day of the event, there were fewer participants, so it wasn't much different from the general seating. Since it was a round table, some people couldn't see the stage. The food was "meh," but the show was wonderful. Since it takes place in the courtyard of the Royal Hawaiian Hotel, it was a valuable experience considering the location.
事前に投稿を読んで、待ち時間が少ないプレミア席を予約しました。当日は参加人数が少なかったのか、あまり一般席と変わりなかったです。円卓のテーブル席なのでステージを見れない方がいました。
料理は「う~ん..」でしたが、ショーは素晴らしかったです。ロイヤルハワイアンホテルの中庭で開催されるので場所を考えれば貴重な体験になりました。

This time, we participated as a three-generation family, including small children. Since it was early April, the rooftop of the hotel was quite cool, and with the wind, it felt cold even with a light jacket. Not just us, but those around us also seemed to be feeling the chill. We took a commemorative photo at the entrance, and it was up to us whether to purchase it later. After being seated, we were served juice or cocktails, and then we had to wait in a long line to get food from the buffet before the show, which was quite tiring. Since the children's and adults' food stations were in different places, I had to line up for the children's food first, and then go to the adults' station, which was a bit of a hassle. Aside from the food, the show featured hula dancing, male dancers, and some active performances with fire, making it quite fulfilling. After the show, there was a farewell from the cast at the exit, where we could take photos. I thought it was a nice opportunity to see such a well-organized show up close.
今回は小さな子供を含む3世代での参加でした。4月のはじめということもあってか、ホテルの屋上はかなり涼しく、風もあり羽織ものを持っていても寒かったです。私たちだけではなく周りも寒そうにしておりました。入り口で記念写真をとり、後で購入するかは、自由でした。席に着くジューズかカクテルを持って来てもらい、すこしして、ショーの前にビュフェの料理で取りに行くのにかなり並び、食事にありつくまで、疲れてしまいました。子供用と大人用の食事を取りにいくのが違う所だったので、子供の所に並んで、、、それから大人の所に並んでと、いった感じで、めんどうでした。食事をのぞけば、ショーはフラダンスや、男性のダンス、そして、男性が火を使ったアクティブなものもあり、なかなか充実しておりました。ショーが終わってから出口のところでは、キャストのかたのお見送りがあり、そこでは、写真撮影ができました。身近でこのようなまとまったショーを見るにはいいのではとおもいました。

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!

The only thing missing from this Luau was the traditional pig in the ground, but the gourmet menu included pork ribs and seafood, not to mention unlimited drinks. The show was excellent. The grandmother's soothing voice-over and gentle music set a wonderful stage for the dancing and costumes. All live, of course. The historic Royal Hawaiian Ocean lawn has a view of the sea and Diamond Head. The tables and chairs were comfortable. The program explained the food in detail. If you don't want to head to another Oahu coast, this is the luau for you.

The classic luau show. The food is surprisingly good, but the content of the show itself is quite ordinary and traditional. If you don't mind the number of meals or dancers, the free Aloha Friday show at the Hyatt every Friday might be sufficient. On the day I attended, due to the weather, it was held indoors and there was no fire dance. That might be one reason it felt overpriced. There was no clear notice about the change of location, which left a somewhat unkind impression.
定番のルアウショー。食事が意外に美味しいので良いが、ショーの内容自体は昔ながらで極めて普通。食事やダンサーの人数に拘らなければ、毎週金曜日にハイアットでやってるアロハフライデーの無料ショーで十分かも。参加した日は天候の都合か屋内での開催でファイヤーダンスは無し。それも割高に感じた理由かも。場所が変更になった旨の分かりやすい案内もなく、ちょっと不親切な印象を受けた。

I went to see the show with my 9-year-old daughter who is learning hula. According to reviews, it was mostly Japanese people, but perhaps it was just a coincidence, as there were hardly any Japanese attendees. We splurged on premium seats, so we were able to watch the show right in front of the stage, which was truly wonderful. The performance was full of excitement. The content included dances and songs that conveyed the history of Hawaii, and it was so engaging that we were captivated the entire time. However, my daughter and I wanted to see more hula and Tahitian dance, so I deducted one star for that. Still, I think it's the best show to recommend for those who are tired of regular dance performances. Not only the show but also being able to enjoy the luxurious backdrop of Diamond Head and Waikiki Beach was amazing.
フラを習っている9歳の娘と二人で見に行きました。口コミでは、日本人ばかり、という話でしたが、たまたまなのか、日本人はほとんどいませんでした。奮発してプレミア席にしたのでステージの前でショーを見れて、本当に良かったです。迫力満点です。内容は、ハワイの歴史をおいながらのダンスあり、歌ありと盛りだくさんで、飽きることなくずっと釘付けでした。ただ、娘と私は、フラとタヒチをしっかり見たかったので、そこだけが★ひとつマイナスにしました。だけど、普通のダンスショーに飽きた人には、一番勧められるショーだと思います。ショーもだけど、ダイヤモンドヘッドやワイキキビーチの景色をぜいたくにも背景として見れるなんて。最高です。

The luau was really good.. We went as a family and everyone enjoyed it. I would recommend that you request a middle table. We made our reservation (premium seats) 6 months previously and were seated at the far right table. Some of the people with regular seats had better views than our seats. Although we enjoyed it a lot it would of been nice to have the center tables to the stage especially for the premium price we paid.
The food was great as well as the service
I would highly recommend this luau to all. It was spectacular

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

The information about the locations within the hotel is unclear, so it's best to arrive early. The show is a mix of Hawaiian, Polynesian, and Micronesian performances, but it feels like a basic dinner show you would find in Hawaii. There are few staff members for the show, and after visiting the Polynesian Cultural Center in the north, it feels lacking. The meal is not as luxurious as one might imagine. The price is appropriate for the food and the show.
I must say again, the guidance boards for the locations are inadequate, and I couldn't find the venue!
