We weren't expecting much from the F&B and that is what we got. The show, on the other hand was outstanding. We purchased the deluxe package hoping for upgraded food. Wrong! Probably worse since ours was plated very early and not warm at all. The seating, however was worth it. We were right next to the stage and could see... More

We wanted to go to a luau and we chose Paradise cove. The package included a pickup and drop off service from Waikiki. The coach was there on time and had a full load leaving our stop. Our guide, Kai was the best and made the ride to and from the Paradise Cove very enjoyable. He enjoys his job and... More

The rating is purely for the great location, I can't recommend this luau at all. The pick up for the bus was unorganised & half an hour late from the time specified. The food was below average, I couldn't eat hardly any of it, the dessert was the best part & that was only frozen cheesecakes etc. The entertainment before... More

Well, it was a nice luau with all of the things you would expect: the roasted pig, hula dancing, guys going up on stage to shake their booties, and a feast. It was all fine and pretty good. There were some extras on the property such as a quick kayak ride, spear throwing, and fun fake tattoos. The conch shell... More

My husband and I went to the Paradise Cove Luau the day after we got to Hawaii. We heard a lot of good reviews about this place so we went ahead and booked it. It was a long bus ride to get to the actual place and the host was very up beat and had some local tips on other... More

We arrived at about 5pm so it was still light. There were several entertainments before the main show which included lei wristband making, and having a sit and paddle in a boat. There was a tree climbing demonstration and male volunteers were picked to participate in a fishing demonstration. The setting is beautiful and seals sleep on the beach but... More

After a long bus ride with an annoying host who thought he could sing I arrived at the Luau which was cheesy to the extreme. Seemed way too contrived and non authentic. The food was awful. The shredded pork was the only authentic Hawaiian food available. The rest was food that resembled a cheap bistro sample in Las Vegas. A... More

We stayed at the JW Marriott so it was just a 10 minute walk to the luau. Make sure to go to one of the windows to get your entrance ticket and drink tickets. We got there early so we got in the minute they started allowing us to go through. We were able to do the activity before the... More

First off; the stage show is very good- wonderful singers and muscians- decent dancers- This is a very large luau.. the food has to be prepaired at an industrial level. The meal overall is ok. There are a lot of activities to do prior to the show; for a group that has limited time and is trying to fit the... More
