Dinner Theaters in Wailea, HI

“I have a gluten allergy. I put it in the notes and they provided a gluten free roll. The food was served family style in large bowls at the table. The server pointed out the very few foods that were unsafe. I had lots of options and the food tasted great.

They put on a nice show. We parked at the shipping center on the main road right in front of the Marriott. Park at the back of the lot and walk out the back entrance. It is a short walk from the lobby to the setting. Give yourself about 15 minutes from the parking lot.

The food and drinks are unlimited. We had a great time and enjoyed it.“

“Our family really enjoyed this experience! Our party has many food allergies and dietary restrictions and they were accommodated so well. All of the performances were incredible and so beautiful. The setting and backdrop was unreal. We would highly recommend!“

“We attended on a Friday evening in October and had an excellent experience. It’s definitely a splurge, but worth it.

Arrival: You can check-in near the front desk of the hotel or down by the actual show. Our table was pre-assigned, so there was no need to line up before the doors opened at 5:15 for the 6PM show. Upon arrival, they gave us each a nut lei and a mai tai. Ahead of showtime, there was a local vendors market, free lawn games, and a professional photographer - latter was $50.

Seating: We opted for the premium seating, which is more expensive, but worth it from our perspective. You’re closer to the stage (first two rows). The tables were also pre-assigned, so we didn’t have to arrive early to line up.

Food: There are four courses: chip/dip, salad/bread, entree, and dessert. There’s also an open bar with a wide assortment of cocktails and non-alcoholic options. The food was decent quality - a bit bland in some cases, which isn’t unexpected in these types of situations when you have to appeal to a broad demographic, particularly those less inclined toward any kick of spice or anything too deviant from the norm. The quantity was massive - there was far more than we could eat and we ended up leaving at least half of what was delivered to the table. The waiter was very accommodating of a food allergy, which was appreciated.

Entertainment: The show was good - there were about 8 or so acts spanning nearly 2 hours. The fire thrower at the end was most impressive.

Cost: It’s pricey - nearly $900 total for 2 premium seats. But everything in Hawaii is expensive and this is the Waldorf Astoria, so as to be expected.

Atmosphere: the show was in the large green lawn next to the beach. The show starts right around sunset, which allows for excellent pictures. The sun is to your back while watching the show, so no glare.“
