This past week, I went to a luau, here at the Hilton Hawaiian Village Waikiki Beach resort. It cost $100 a person. It consisted of what tasted like boil in bag roast beef and brown gravy, some Walmart quality Hawaiian rolls, Walmart quality pasta salad, Walmart quality fried rice, and a piece of sponge cake with Jell-O on top.

We attended the Luau at HHV for our friends birthday. Luckily we had two comp tickets but it was still very expensive and it is held on a rooftop! Our son is in a wheelchair and we needed to use three different elevators to reach the venue, coming up in the service area. The dancers were good and also friendly... More

Folks, for what it's worth, save your money, go to the Polynesian Cultural Center. The food is much better, the show is a million times better, and it costs a lot less! Use the money you save to take a tour buss or rent a car and drive the 25 or so miles, you will get a whole lot more... More

A group of us went to celebrate a birthday, we were first to get to the buffet which was plentiful. Pork was delicious. Show was interesting and great performers. Very expensive but it's a tick in the box.

Hi, we were a group and thought would like to visit a traditional Luau in Honolulu. We paid for the premium seats for this attraction of $108 each but were dissappointed with the outcome. Due to weather it was held indoors taking away the ambience and also one thing we were keen to see was the fire dancers but there... More

This has been the worst experience I had in Hawaii, and I could never believe that the hilton chain would produce and steal money from people with this terrible TERRIBLE show. If this cost like U$30 dollar I'd fell sorry because of the waste of time, but they charge from U$100 to U$150 for cheap food, horrible drinks, plastic tables... More

Last year my wife and I went to Paradise Cove and had a good time – the food was OK and the show was really good – plenty of room to move around and things to ‘walk to and see’. This year we decided to try the Starlight Luau at the Hilton Hawaiian Village. I have to say that I... More

We went to the timeshare 2hr presentation and got two tickets to the luau for attending. The time share presentation wasn't too bad--it was boring but as to be expected (and no we didnt buy). The luau is overpriced in my opinion but we has fun and dosnt drop the $$$$ as the other patrons did. The food was good... More

I have been on 3 Luau's on the Island in previous years, and I thought this is the best one. Six of our family members attended this event on November 13 and we all enjoyed it. Even though the event is held on a rooftop- it was classy. We were served with drinks, instead of getting up and getting our... More

i thought the luau was in a beautiful setting and since it's smaller the seats were all good and the dancers felt very close; the food was great and the fire dancers were amazing!! i really loved it!
