Not worth the price
We had very high expectations on this event. The show was a pretty good Polynesian show, great for a Hawaiian experience if it is your first time.
Food was great. There was a fantastic variety of food and very tasty. However, since was an All you can eat buffet, many people over piled their plate and never finished. Big waste of food.
There was fried rice, noodles, poke, chicken, teriyaki beef, kalua pork, fish, bread and many salads.
Drinks were terrible. Piña Colada without Alcohol and Piña Colada with Alcohol tested very similar (too watered) and Mai Tai just tasted very simple.You barely can taste the rum.
Additionaly only 2 people serving drinks for maybe more than 500 people. Imagine the line up.
The booking said to show up at 5:00PM. Make sure you are there around 4pm. We arrived before 5:00, parking was very complicated and the line up to check in was very long. By the time the show started, The line was still long.
Obviously, at the check in, they take you a picture. Which is kind of normal at any kind of spectacle.
But for the amount of money paid (In my case, for a family of 4), at least the picture should be included - US$30 ? No way. And you have the option to received by e-mail (US$50).
In summary, in my opinion, the amount of money paid was really excesive.
If it is your first Luau, you must experience it on your own, it was the only moment on my week on Maui that I see people dancing Luau.
The Sheraton location has a great beach view.
Food is great.
Show is very basic for the experience and very short.
Drinks as I said, with too much ice and line up.
Instead of buffet, they should have people serving you to the table, so you don't loose any moment on the show. The time to eat is too short specially for the last tables who goes for food (BTW, Buffet goes by tables, so table 1 have a lot of time to eat, tables 40 and up, not really much)
Unlimmited drinks but who wants to line up for 20 minutes and keep loosing the show?
Deserts were only 3 options.
Parking is $2 with validation which is OK. But still, should be included.
