Excellent show, food was good. Would certainly recommend to anyone. Very much enjoyed and weather was perfect
We loved every minute of it! It was very nice to have the chance to get to know the performers before hand with the sharpie tattoos table and orchid bracelet table. Food was delicious and performance was beautiful, you can tell they love what they do and love to share their culture!
Very well organized, energetic, fun & entertaining❤️. Staff was very attentive and the food selection was great. Very tasty.
The reservation that were made were not promised. My children did not get to participate in the extra activities as stated in the booking. Also we were let in after the show had already started stating they don’t let the show only viewers in until after it has started. My party of 7 did not get to participate in all activities they were done by the time they let us in. Also wasn’t able to get drinks as the bar closed once show got started. Also did not get the option to purchase photos and Extra show exclusives. Will not book again due to false advertisement . Spoke to the Luau director and he stated I would have to contact the company directly . Did that and they said they would have to investigate. No help at all and what a terrible experience we had.
We would suggest don't pick this Luau, it's not worthy your $185 at all, spend some other Luaus which cost less and you will enjoy much more than this. We have joined at least 10 different Luaus and this one is the most disppointed one. First, the activity started at 5:30pm, so they exactly won't let you in until 5:30pm, we were waiting outside in long quene for abount one hour, this experience never happened on us before when we joined other Luaus. 2nd, no welcome leis. 3rd, when we're ready to take pictures, the photographer command the kids stay in the middle, why? 4th, it was raining constantly, we're eating and watching shows with rains, the hotel didn't even express any regrets or offer some credit for clients. 5th, the wetsite says the total hours of event is 3 hours, but the event finished in 2 hours. 6th, we have to asked for the emergency raitcoat when we saw other paticipants had raincoat. 7th, the performance is realy very pale, the fire dance is not an excited one compared with other Luaus. Generaly, we're very dispointed, only thing we like would be the food, but it mixed with a lot of rain and we lost our appetize totally.
Extremely overpriced. Disgusting food. Very unorganized. We weren’t let in until an hour after the event had started because there wasn’t clear direction of where to go. We had to ask three different employees at the Hilton to be directed to the event. When we got there, there wasn’t a clear place of entry. There was no direction. We were just sat down and not told what to do. Lines were extremely long. There was bugs in the water pitcher. No protection against the rain. My partner and I became sick after eating the luau food. This event is worth about $60 not $250 due to the fireworks and the show, not the food. we had to wait about 30 minutes for the firework show standing in the rain when they had said it was going to be 5 to 10 minutes. The show was about 10 minutes long and lackluster. I would honestly like a refund, but I know that’s not possible. So the least I can do is warn people to the honest truth.
If you get the show only - no dinner, you will have to wait until everyone that chose the dinner tickets to finish eating dinner. You will not get a chance to do the activities they have for children and families. You will also not get a chance to get your photo taken. The show only tickets don’t have a good view and the area where the show is at is open to people walking by so practically, you pay for your ticket while others watch it for free. It was a very short show as well. It doesn’t take the amount of time the ticket says. I wouldn’t book this again.
Everyone should experience a luau. The food was delicious something for everyone! The show was great loved the audience participation.
Not worth money you can stand outside and watch it for free and as a family of 6 we paid over $700 not worth it
Absolutely wonderful food and a great show! Definitely recommend but sit closer to observe the show better. There was light rain sprinkled throughout our time at the show which made the experience more magical
