This was an average luau.I didn’t consider it to be outstanding, but it wasn’t terrible either. High points: beautiful floral leis provided at entry, two drink tickets for each attendant, fresh pineapple at the table, and friendly attendants. The after show was also good; however, there was a lot of Elvis and Michael Jackson. The performers were dynamic, but we were hoping for a more “authentic” Hawaiian production. The downside: the luau was held under tents on a patio rather than on an Oceanside lawn. There were long tables all lined closely together. The food was average or below. We didn’t even see the roast beef selection until after dining was over. The luau entertainment was harried and substandard. The luau dining was rushed and highly orchestrated. My 90 year old aunt was celebrating her birthday in Hawaii and was hoping for an “authentic” Hawaiian experience. I think she was slightly disappointed. One of our tour operators on another tour praised the Polynesian Cultural Center luau. If you are visiting Hawaii for the first time, you might want to research this more deeply to ensure you get the best Hawaiian authentic luau. In my opinion, this wouldn’t qualify.
