- Fun show - Food was surprisingly good and plentiful (stick to the chicken, roast pig, and tuna! coleslaw was also surprisingly good). We went in April and there was PLENTY of food for the crowd, no worries about the buffet running short before your table gets called - Drink line was a bit long, but they let you order... More

This is the first time I have been to a luau. We chose this one at the Marriott and we did enjoy it. We chose the Marriott over the one at the Hilton in Waikoloa because of the setting. The luau at the Hilton is in a concrete amphitheater with no view. The view at the Marriott was gorgeous overlooking... More

If this is the same luau at the Marriott, it's worth every penny especially if you've never been to one and if you have kids on vacation. Great time. Great food. Open bar, etc. a bit spendy, but no more than a dinner at Ruth's Chris or some other fancy place in Waikaloa. More

We purchased the premium upgrade because of the extras provided. When we arrived we had to stand in line for about 1/2 hour to pick up the tickets. Apparently they were trying to convince people to buy the upgrade at the time they checked in and it was taking a long time. They overbook the premium seating and by the... More

Good food, average drinks, great entertainment! We were in the third row and it was hard to see the dancers. I wish the stage was more elevated. Overall, a great experience. More

The entertainment was very well done. The food was good but not exceptional. Venue was acceptable but would have preferred it if we were actually on the beach. All in all we had an enjoyable evening. More

First come first serve so you have to get in line early. Not on a beach, small stage. The other luau's I have been to have been much more entertaining. Not the best and the food wasn't that great. My kids enjoyed it. More

They ran out of the roasted pig 2 tables of guests before the end of the line and the Parker Ranch ribs were literally bones with no meat remaining in congealing fat. That left cold overcooked fish of some kind. Supposedly there was chicken but they were waiting on another pan to come from somewhere. Had to go to the... More

Way too expensive. Not a lot of vegetarian option. The fire juggling act was awesome. Other than that, there were some nice dances. More
