For reference my Husband and I paid for the upgraded Ali'i experience. Upon arrival we were greated with cocktails and beautiful white shell leis. We were pretty excited to have these as they are a great keepsake which will last. The package came with a lovely photo souvenir which was taken right as we arrived. Perfect timing as we were still fresh from getting ready.
After photos were were taken to our table. With the Ali'i package we had a lovely private table in the front row, and we had a private server who kept bringing us whatever drink we requested all night. There was also a plate of appetizers on the table which we could snack on. I recommend getting there early as there are some traditional activities to experience. These were all fun and only at the beginning.
Once everyone arrived the MC kicked off the evening with the pig coming out of the ground. The Buffet then is opened. The staff set up 2 buffet tables and you can get food from both sides so the lines move fast. There was a variety of delicious food, everything was very tasty. After every one had their food the performance started.
The dancers were amazing. They were so beautiful in all of the performances. They showcased dances from a variety of areas and the highlight of the show was the fire dancing. The performances were broken up with interactive portions and audience participation so it os great fun for the whole family.
Overall I would highly recommend this show.

Aloha! This was an amazing luau!! The MC was a great storyteller and singer. The performers were so graceful and fluid, delivering captivating performances with beautiful Hawaiian attire. The Fire performing Chief was last and he did an amazing job!! I like the way the food was served on the gorgeous lawn, it felt so open and authentic. Everything I tasted was fantastic. Fish, pork beef with many sides. Pre luau festivities are a lovely touch and one reason I chose this luau, wish they were a little longer, really enjoyed the emu ceremony. The service was very good at the beginning of the night but tapered down after show began. This is one of the top luaus I've been to, I highly recommend!! The valet parking is super easy and I recommend this also. You can take a quick look around the stunning hotel, I recommend this also!!!

Food was delicious. Setting and show was good We were all very disappointed that you don't get a real lei. It was our fault because the description says a keepsake lei which we missed but still disappointing.

The entertainment was wonderful! The music, dancers and storyteller were perfect! The venue was lovely, but was sad it wasn't near the beach with a view of the ocean as Luau's we have done previously were. Was also sad to not have the option of a real flower lei, although the shell one we got was very pretty and a great momento. Raw bar was delicious and really appreciated all the gluten free options. Would have loved another vegetable option. Our server Annemarie was so kind, friendly, and attentive. Overall we had a great time!
Dietary restrictions: Had many gluten free options!

I was so lucky to be able to travel to Hawaii for my very first time last week. I met some friends there who have been there countless times already so they are the ones who found and reserved this Luau for all of us to do together. I am not sure exactly what I expected but I was excited, nonetheless. There was absolutely nothing lackluster about it! The pageantry was detailed and well-performed. Everything was rich with the culture and history of Hawaii. I learned so much! The food was delicious and the setting was beautiful.

Food was spectacular. There was a huge spread. The show was excellent. Music was excellent. The luau grounds were very private and peaceful. It was probably the best luau I have been to.

Great food and entertainment! The Kalua Pork was fresh coming out of the underground oven. There was so much selection of local food and desserts were delicious. The show was great! There was a lot of excitement and enthusiasm coming from the cast which made it very enjoyable to watch.
