Paradise Cove Luau on the Beach at Ko Olina Resort

Great Drinks!
Reviewed by: NC Hairston, 2014/06/26Worth paying extra for the VIP Seating, pictures were included at no extra charge and we were treated well. The drinks were excellent and my wife learned that she liked Lava Flows. We enjoyed this Luau and the activities were interesting. The drink/merchandise cards was a good way to handle the drinks, much better than trying to carry cash with you.

The Very Best!!!
Reviewed by: Pandora, 2014/05/28MY husband And I attended a total of two Luau's while in Hawai'i! This was by far the best. Our Host was WONDERFUL. I Thought so because of the Alcoholic Livations and my husband Enjoyed the meal. The selection was Wonderful. We tried another Luau (NAME WITHHELD)• So Disappointed!!!!

Beautiful grounds and reasonable show
Reviewed by: Nick, 2014/05/18With Honolulu traffic, it's a long trip in both directions. The grounds are beautiful and the sunset is picturesque. We had 10 in our party. The pre-dinner activities are fun and the food was good but we wouldn't say anything out of the ordinary. The luau show was well done with a nice variety, but again fairly typical. What I disliked the most was the drink policy. You can't take a drink back for your wife as you are allowed only one drink at a time. Further the drinks are very pricey and the coupons don't get you much. I only want a single drink and would prefer to have no coupons with the tickets and then just buy drinks if I want them. We all had fun but the drive from Waikiki is tough.

A WONDERFUL TIME WAS HAD BY ALL
Reviewed by: Aloha Joe, 2014/04/05During our week on Oahu, we always attend a lu'au and our favorite is Paradise Cove! This was an annual gathering of Aloha Joe's Radio & TV listeners who join us from all over the planet. We all agree that the food & entertainment at Paradise Cove is THE BEST.

Paradise Cove is a must
Reviewed by: Petals4Zuzu, 2014/03/19The meal was fine but the entertainment and the "carnival" atmosphere was the best. We have girls 12-20 years of age and each thoroughly enjoyed the vendors, the activities, the interactive things to do before the dinner and show. The meal starts at 7:00 PM but people must show up early (around 4:45 the gates open) to enjoy the cultural activities prior. First rate and all included in the price. My daughters all appreciated the good-looking performers, especially the "Fire King".

LOVE!
Reviewed by: Amanda, 2014/02/04First time to go to this Luau with my husband and friends. Had a lot of great activities, not too crowded. It was definitely worth paying for the gold vip box seats so we didn't have to wait in the buffet line or sit at a table with 20 other people. The food was decent and the entertainment was excellent. Really enjoyed the show and everything about the luau experience. Would definitely do it again1

Luau
Reviewed by: The McCoy Family, 2014/01/08We enjoyed the Luau at Paradise Cove. We were not able to stay for the entire show because we were attending with our 2 year old granddaughter. What we saw was very entertaining. The food was delicious.

Luau experience
Reviewed by: Jen McLeod, 2013/10/13Tour leader was funny! Lovely location. Meal was okay. Entertainment was excellent. We were told to be at pick up location by 3.15 but we didn't leave until 4pm. It was hot standing around which wasn't the best. They do it every day so should be a little more organised.

Paradise Cove Luau
Reviewed by: JoJo, 2013/09/25We got there late and didn't get to watch all the event in the beginning but what we did watch was interesting. You can get pictures painted on your arm or other areas of your choice. We all got a flower bracelet. It was fresh flower! The ocean view was breath-taking especially when the sun is setting. The food is good, just not sure that traditional is it. Performance was great also. All in all, a great experience!

Luau
Reviewed by: salejo, 2013/09/03There were so many activities. We were able to try most of it - canoes, tattoo, made a bracelet/headband, & we even took pictures with the parrots (extra cost for prints). Alcoholic drinks & the food were good. The white haupia dessert is my favorite, but don't eat more than 3 because it is a laxative. Our favorite part of the luau was of course the fire dance, which was really the only dance I paid most attention to. 5 stars because our bus guide Cousin Rich made this that much more fun for us. Going to Paradise Cove & back was never a sleepy ride & was never boring.

Beautiful, Breathtaking. Buffet!!!
Reviewed by: OhMyHiroshi, 2013/09/02My girlfriend and I had a wonderful time here at Paradise Cove's Luau. As soon as we checked in, we received free maitais! Then as we made our way through the entrance path, we got greeted with lei's by our "Hawaiian Cousins". We then made our way to the bar and started drinking, as we were watching the practices of the "imu ceremony" of the pork, catching of the flowers, and the old way of how the Hawaiians used to catch fish. We then got seated at our tables and were dismissed to go get our food! I had three plates of the finest Hawaiian dishes, and my girlfriend only had one. While we had dinner, the sunset was beautiful at the peak of the ocean. It was simply amazing that we could eat at the beach and have the sunset right at your tables. Finally to conclude the evening right before the show, they dimmed the stage lights and i looked up and saw a dark night with 3 dozen stars. It all looks like a movie but it's pure reality here in Hawaii. My girlfriend and I had a romantic time.

Good for what it is
Reviewed by: Ben, 2013/08/31This luau is what you'd expect from a commercial venture. The food is decent, but the entertainment could have been better. I thought the dancers were good, but the other acts were sorely lacking in depth and quality. Our group attendant was great, full of humor and a general pleasure to listen to.
For what it is, I'd say I had a good time. Don't expect any real cultural enrichment though, it's just good mindless fun.
