Great Opportunity to Experience Hawaiian Culture
Reviewed by: Rlal, 2020/02/04This event provided insight into a variety of cultural dancing all in one sitting. It was incredible to hear the stories and rich history of the people today and in the past. The MC engaged the audience. The buffet was a great spread for people with food preferences and allergies. It provided great value for the money spent. Only wish was having the opportunity to experience this outdoors. It would have been much more of an experience.

Amazing show and delicious food!
Reviewed by: jonnyspark, 2020/01/27We were greeted on arrival with some traditional Hawaiian Lei's and a photo with two of the show stars. We had a free drink on arrival and then sat down to get ready for the show. The people on the table were chatty and friendly. We were lucky to be the first table up for the buffet which was incredible, so much choice of food! The show started and was absolutely amazing, ending with a fire show! The rooftop view whilst the sun was going down was perfect and typical Hawaiian paradise. Absolutely loved it!

Luau
Reviewed by: Judi, 2019/08/07It took a while for the usher to find our seat which seems to me that they didn't have assigned seats. I suggest getting assigned seats so this kind of incident will not happen again.
The actual shows were pretty short. It would be nice to extend it a little

Good entertainment
Reviewed by: Vic, 2016/03/28Went to my first luau and I have to say, it was a good experience. The staff are as friendly as can be and the performances were amazing. They are very much involved with the crowd making it a special experience and I would definitely recommend this to anyone. Food Buffett was also good, and my friends and I were approached with beautiful lays at the entrance and the best part was we all got 2 drink tickets with the packages we purchased online.

Reviewed by: Nunia T., 2016/03/27I attended this luau with a friend that actually knew a lot of the workers. The food was so delicious and the greeters were so friendly! As for the show, Tihati really put on a great show! Great experience, I highly recommend this luau. The manager is also friendly and he walks around greeting everyone, I thought was really nice.

Fantastic way to begin our vacation!
Reviewed by: Kent D, 2015/08/03We were a group of 7 and attended this event on the night of our arrival. The food was really good for a mass serving and the show was fantastic. It was, in fact, wheelchair accessible and all the folks we cam into contact with couldn't have been nicer or more accommodating.
I read other comments downplaying the fact that we were on top of a parking garage but that didn't detract from our enjoyment one bit!

Luau
Reviewed by: Jeff P, 2015/03/29I was a little worried about attending a Luau on top of a parking garage. It turned out to not be a problem. They decorated the venue very nice and we were in the shade the whole time, which really helped. The food was wonderful, with a wide selection for everybody, even the kids. The acts were fantastic! I took a star away for the location not being by the ocean and the tight seating arrangement.

Fun on Christmas
Reviewed by: Mary, 2015/01/17We went on Christmas Day and paid extra for better seating. We still had to wait in a really long line to get checked in. Food was good and the show was fun. I would recommend getting there earlier than what they tell you.

A great night
Reviewed by: Shannon, 2013/06/06My 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.

Luau in the middle of Waikiki
Reviewed by: Ms Rosie, 2011/06/15This is a really convenient luau. In good walking distance or a cab ride away from all the hotels and incredibly delicious food. Be sure to get the Golden Circle, because we did and we had excellent front row type of seating. CHECK IN EARLY TO BYPASS THE CROWD!!!
Some bad "Cons" about this is:
there is no good/ romantic picture taking scenery, chairs are situated very close to eachother so your banging elbows with the next person, its on the top of a parking lot structure and its just surrounded by a bunch of buildings.
Staff was friendly, water is always provided, the Food is BETTER tasting from all the other Luau's I have been too.. so that is a plus.

A REALLY FUN EXPERIENCE!
Reviewed by: Laura W., 2011/06/14I wasn't sure about a Luau IN Waikiki but this one was really enjoyable. You don't have to take a bus 45 minutes each way or more outside of Waikiki, as you have to do with the other Luau's, which is a real plus! The food was excellent with a big assortment so there's really something that everyone would like. There's not really a bad seat in the house either. Of course we were sitting front row and it was pretty cool. Worth the extra bucks, in my opinion. The performers were really top notch. I'm not sure what I expected but they definitely exceeded anything I could have imagined. Definitely the best fire-dancers I've ever seen and I live here, so I've seen many. The whole experience was really fun and impressive. A great way to experience the culture of the islands.

First Luau and I loved it!
Reviewed by: Jake, 2009/10/17My friend and I went to this Luau at the Hilton. Wwhen I heard where it was I thought it was strange to be on top of the roof of a building but you really have nice view of the Lagoon and the Ocean. I like that the tables are a U shape around the stage because everyone had a great view of the dancers! They even had me up on stage to try and blow the Conch Shell, it was hard but I did it! The food was really good, I went back for seconds of the Poke and Pork. The dancers were really talented and the fire twirling guys at the end were awesome.
