Island Breeze Big Island Kona Luau at King Kamehameha Hotel with Open Bar
Overall Rating
4.69Feb. 2009
Reviewed by: WilderGuy, 2009/02/19Best meal we had on the island, & the entertainment was really well done. This was our first trip to the Big Island for our 20th anniversary, so we were trying to pack in a wide variety of activities. A Luau was almost a must on the list of things to do. We were not sure what to expect, but the experience was one we wouldn't have wanted to miss. Very well done by everyone involved. Mahalo!

Fun Evening
Reviewed by: Cynthia, 2009/01/04Food was very good and it was helpful that they explained all the items on the buffet for those not familiar with Luau fare. The show was very well done and we had fun doing the activities at the beginning. Only downside is they do all the activities at the same time (hula lesson, palm weaving, etc.) so you can only do one. Also, if you're expecting a flower lei be prepared to pay extra for it or bring your own. We got ours at Costco, they sell a 2 pack of fresh orchid leis for only $6.50. Overall, a very fun evening right on the beach.

Island Breeze Luau - Kona
Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous, 2008/12/29Food and show was good. But, we would like to have some more interaction with audiences to perform Luau dance. We were expecting atleast that during the course of performances. Though it was done as brief introductory on Luau dance before the show began but it would be nice if we could participate as family then it would be very very more vibrant live show where family, friends, kids everybody can enjoy and have fun. This is a small request if they can spend some time during their main course of performance on this.
Other than that food, drinks are delicious. Here is a small request if they can put name tag in front of the each of the dish / item so people who are verigiterian / non-vegiterian can pickup their food selection very easily and can avoid un-necessary waist on the food. Though the organizer anounced the all the food items but by putting a name tag for food items that are served on that day would not cost any more.
Thanks

Don't miss it!
Reviewed by: Bobby, 2008/12/09This was my second time to go to the Island Breeze Luau. We really enjoyed the staff, food, and the show! This is really a special show. The cast really seems to enjoy the songs and dance. A smile says a lot and they smile a lot! Don't miss it. If you have not seen a Island show make this one the one you go to see!

Enjoy some Hawaiian Hospitality
Reviewed by: Bobby, 2008/11/03What a fun time for everyone! The ability to learn more of the Island Traditions as well as birthday's, anniversaries, just married, or a salute to those in the armed forces it is something the whole family will enjoy.
If you leave hungry it will be your own fault!

The food was outstanding , as well as the venue . And the show was very fun . Thanks

I had fun
Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous, 2008/07/26It was my first time attending a luau. The dancers were awesome, and I def. loved the fire dancer. The quality of the foods was good. I'm pretty sure there are people who don't like certain foods, but hey, you are experience something different, right? I liked poi, though not too many people tried it. Overall, it was a great experience.

Great Luau!
Reviewed by: Brian, 2008/05/03We had a great time at Island Breeze. The location is excellent and the weather was perfect when we were there (April). The Mai Tai's were perfect and so was the food. Gotta try the poi!! Before the show started there was several interactive demonstrations that were fun. The show itself explained well the history and varied cultural influences of the Hawaiian islands. Overall a great evening.

Island Breeze Luau
Reviewed by: Elizabeth Ann Maisel, 2008/04/02We enjoyed the show, and the MC was really funny and had a good voice. Before it started we ended up waiting in several different areas for them to set up. The cups for the drinks were too small, even for water and soda. I can understand having small cups for the alcohol, but it was difficult to drink enough water. It would have been more comfortable with the tables and chairs set up on the grass, instead of sitting on concrete (too hot!)Also, a bigger selection of vegetarian options would be good. Overall, as first timers to the Island, we really enjoyed the show. Thanks!

Island Breeze Luau
Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous, 2008/03/09This was our first time to the Islands and our first Luau. We were not disappointed. We had a fantastic time and loved the entertainment. The host was great and very informative of the Hawiian and Polynesian cultures. We loved the costumes and how the dancers interacted with the guest. We upgraded our tickets and ended up sitting in the very front row. WoW! We could not have had a better time.

Island breeze beach front luau
Reviewed by: Jules, 2008/01/22This is the best luau i have ever been! Not only is it very affordable but the host is very informative on the cultures of the hawaiians and the other polynesian tribes. My best friend and I had soo much fun in this luau and plus we are amazed at the fire show that they put on. We were very overwhelmingly satisfied w/ the amount of food that they serve (about 20 diff kinds of hawaiian dishes)not to mention the 2 hours open bar! I had too much mai tais w/in two hours! This is a great luau to go to for first timers or as regulars.

Great activity, but had one problem
Reviewed by: Arnab, 2008/01/02The luau staff were great, but we wish the hotel staff at the lobby were more helpful. We were out of cash to pay $3 for the parking, and all nearby ATM's were down. We asked the lobby staff to accept a credit card payment, but they would not budge. Finally one person in the Luau staff (Dan, I believe) helped us out (bless his heart!). So even though the activity was great, the ending was somewhat rocky.
Regards,
-Arnab.
