The Luau was great and the fire dancer was especially wonderful.
Reviewed by: Heidi, 2024/10/28My husband, daughter and I attended this luau. I've been to several luaus and this one had the best food, great entertainment and an amazing Fire dancer. We all enjoyed ourselves. Great service, tasty food and wonderful show.

Great way to start your Hawaiian Vacation
Reviewed by: sassyn2002, 2024/09/09So from other reviews you know the lines are long, especially in the heat. Now they have water fountains, and it does move semi quickly. But it would make sense to have the vip's seated 1st, then the GA seats enter by sections.
This would help with standing in the sun for to long.
The show it self was fantastic! Very entertaining, and kept you wanting more.
My only gripe, is that I am diabetic, and needed to eat sooner than later, and since I was the last table to be sat, we were the last table to be approved to get up to the Buffet. Also there was no sugar free desserts. Other than that the foods I was able to eat was delicious and flavorful. But I did end up in the restroom for most of the evening once returned back to the room. Could have been that some foods were in the temp danger zone for to long.

A beautiful luau experience all around
Reviewed by: Kimberly B., 2024/08/15This luau was everything our family could have hoped for. It felt genuine and true to Polynesian history and tradition while still having fun moments and many laughs. The music, dancing, and fire aspects were all top notch. I have also heard that typically the good at luaus is so-so, but the buffet was fantastic as well as the drinks and dessert. Excellent all around. Wish I could give it more than 5 stars!

Very high price, terrible performance
Reviewed by: Lisa, 2024/06/08Food was OK, performance not so good, singing was awful. Nice that there is a space for children to run around

Fire performance
Reviewed by: JL , 2024/04/13Fire performance was as the cool kids say these days....fire!
The buffet food was better than average. I go to Hawaii every year and we always do luau. This was the more memorable ones. Dessert buffet table was really good too.

Authentic Show!
Reviewed by: David F, 2024/03/09For us it was a true Luau. Not just a Hawaiian show. From weaving headbands to teaching hula dancing. The show was very personable with audience interaction. Food was very good, brought out to the table instead of a buffet bar. It was an all day affair for us. Went to Waimea Falls first and spent some time there and then to the Luau. MC was great. Highly recommend. We stayed on the North Shore so it was very convenient!

Show was outstanding and food was excellent!
Reviewed by: Ann, 2023/11/19From the moment of arrival the staff was friendly and very attentive (we did pay for the VIP section and it was worth it for the service). The were almost too many food choices to choose from and it was all very delicious. The host was engaging and entertaining, the music wonderful, and all the dancers were great. We enjoyed that they were telling stories in their dance, not just there for show. Overall it was a wonderful experience, the only negative I have is location because you can't see the ocean from the luau venue and it does help the ambience we feel.

Legends of Hawaii Luau Dinner Show
Reviewed by: Donna, 2023/10/30The performers and food was really good. Only comment I had been to the same Luau 4 years earlier and the story was much more in depth . We truly enjoyed it but 4 years ago you got to hear the complete story of Hawaii.

Luau on the Big Island at the Hilton Resort
Reviewed by: Celeste Riley, 2023/07/01Absolutely wonderful dinner and show. We were seated with enough time to get our food and appreciated that they served the children first while the adults were able to get their drinks from the open bar. Loved having the chance to try different types of drinks from the bar. I was concerned about the weather with it being out in the open since it was cloudy and had rained in the afternoon recently but it was perfect weather! Our kids and I really enjoyed the show and we had a lovely family next to us from Wisconsin that made the dinner even more enjoyable. Would have preferred the waiters/ess come more from the back as they helped their tables so that we could see and record the event a little better. Over wonderful family event that we highly recommend!

Fun time Luau
Reviewed by: Phillips , 2023/06/08Great evening entertainment, with crowd participation, sing along and laughs. MC ‘Sam’ kept us entertained with jokes, songs and some interesting facts of Hawaii.
The grace of the dances made for a nice calming evening while the fire dances were mesmerising and a must see.
Great food and the free flow of drinks are always a welcome!
A Must if in Kona!!

Honestly just okay
Reviewed by: Ari, 2023/06/01The Luau itself it’s in a nice place, check in was quick. We did have to stand around in the hot sun for a bit.
Seating was a nightmare because the sun is literally right in your face and there’s no shade.
The food was bleh. It was cold and not too flavorful.

A great evening
Reviewed by: Billb, 2023/02/04The entertainment was first rate and the food was surprisingly good. You don’t expect food served to hundreds of people at once to be hot and tasty but they have the logistics well organized and the buffet line moves fast.
The fire stick dancers were excellent, and the whole evening had a very authentic feel.

Luau
Reviewed by: Angie, 2021/05/15We enjoyed our time at the Hilton. We did two luaus while in Hawaii and enjoyed this one by far over the other. The open bar was a nice touch. Never had to wait long in line. I appreciated being served by staff rather than having to get up during the show

Food was good
Reviewed by: Mrs Colorado, 2019/05/31We enjoyed the Luau! The food was really good and the entertainment was excellent. I recommend the VIP ticket as it was really nice to have the waitress bring us our drinks. We also took a regally nice picture which provided a nice finishing touch.

Great show
Reviewed by: Happy in Hawaii, 2018/08/14Good food but the show was definitely the best part of the night. Spend a few extra bucks and get the premium seating with valet service. The stage makes it good regardless if you are up front but being up front was great.
