    No need to come early - the fun starts just before dinner when the pig ceremony commences and the dancers start. Great show, great views!!

    Great show during dinner. We went too early though and the first hour or two was a bit uneventful. The pig ceremony to start dinner had incredible views!

    This luau was incredible! Neat activities, good food, and an amazing show complete with a fire dance! You will not be disappointed! Takes place right on the beach!

    My family and I all had a great time here. The overall experience was enjoyable, the staff was super welcoming and friendly, and the food was great. Don't forget to try a lava flow!

    This was one of my favorite experiences in the island. Best personal hands in experience. Worth every penny!! Try the lava flow. Yummy!!!

    Great staff + experience overall, esp after having read many neg. reviews. Yes, its "touristy." But, how "un-touristy" can a luau catered to tourists be? Don't think u have to do the deluxe.

    You have to do a luau while in Hawaii and this is one of the better options. Entertainment was great, food was average. Plus we learned a Hawaii saying: "if your in love dance, if not keep drinking."

    Spectacular sunset and beautiful shows. Make sure you wait until the main show starts. Food was OK.

    During WWII, the area adjacent to Paradise Cove was used as a recreation center by Army and Navy servicemen. The pool is separated from the ocean by natural walls of reef over which the waves flow to

    Lots of things to do while you wait for the program to start, then it's stop one, stop two, stop three, dinner. Dinner was okay. If there's something like Hometown on O'ahu, I would liken it to that.

    Extremely frustrated with the first come first serve seating since we were the third family in the park and somehow the majority of the tables in our allotted sequin were already reserved-disappointed

    Lava flows are delish, food is okay but you are really there for the entertainment so just enjoy that and all the free activities. All the employees are super nice and make you feel welcome.

    Wonderful experience for a luau. Everyone was really nice and I guess it was a slow night because there were no lines!

    If you befriend some of the wait staff they will bring drinks to your table just before and during dinner, that way you don't have to wait in the long lines. Just don't forget to tip well! Mahalo!

    I used to Bartend here! You should try the Banana Mac!! Special Mai Tai's are crazy good! Let the party begin!! ;)

    Seriously messed up... Crazy lines for everything. The simple act of getting a drink, the luau staple, meant waiting 30 minutes. They are woefully unprepared for the size of the crowds they let in.

    It's worth it to pay a little more money for first dibs on the buffet , extra drinks and better seating.

    Commercialized tourist trap. 2 good parts...fire guy and hula dancers. Other than that, 80 bucks better spent else where.

    Fried chicken and pulled pork. That's all you need from this place. Otherwise, this place is a tourist trap
