"Excellent small scale luau."

Great luau. We enjoyed the experience which is a small venue of less than 70 people or so. The staff do everything from entertaining to serving your food and clean up. Ours was provided by Hilton Grand Vacation Club as an event for attending a timeshare sales pitch. So it had an open bar which is not normally included. They made a very good Mai tai. My wife has an onion and garlic allergy but all the meats on the buffet were ok. Only the poi patties and gravy weren’t. The location is inside of a state park and offered a great view at the top of the volcano and Waikiki. The timing of the meal was such that you got a great sunset opportunity.

"Come for the view, not the food"

This was as advertised, a smaller luau experience. Two male performers, four women. I’m assuming you never go to these things for the food, and this one was no different. Everyone was very nice, it was a fine experience. The only thing truly photo worthy was the view.

After I booked this, I started seeing more negative reviewed and was concerned about the choice. However, after going, I still think it was a solid choice. We talked to another guest who said other bigger ones are more like "a pageant", and this was not that. However, it was what it said it was. I felt like the performers did take it seriously when we were there. The food was fine. I learned a lot. It was organized. The views were gorgeous during dinner.
