If we hadn't paid full price for this (over $100 a piece) maybe I wouldn't have been as disappointed. The food was average, the entertainment was good but the kids dancing did every dance it, the fire dancer was amazing and worth seeing once. I wouldn't pay for it again.

Other review are pretty good. Here is my take. Arrive around 6:30. Any earlier and you are just standing in line to take a pic at the front door. They did seem to be quite organized. Made sure everyone has reservations, guy walking around with a spreadsheet checking people off in line. I only made my in the morning and... More

This is our first visit to Hawaii and so obviously first experience for a Luau. Overall, we liked it! Pros: 1. The performances were amazing and we were truly entertained. 2. Ample food (vegan and non-vegan) choices. 3. Open bar with both alcoholic & non-alcoholic drinks. 4. Beautiful sunset view from the resort. 5. Take your picture AS you enter... More

My husband and I did a luau in Oahu a few years back which we enjoyed. We're weren't planning on going to a luau while visiting Maui, but we were comped this one for doing a timeshare tour. The tables and chairs are like nice folding tables and chairs, but they're on top of gravel. It was hard to move... More

I went to this Luau almost 2 weeks ago and I wasn't a huge fan. I have been to two other Luau's in the past on Oahu and those were great, this one didn't even compare. They take your picture when you first walk in and give you the option after the show to buy it. After that you check... More

We had so much fun and really enjoyed meeting so many people from so many places. The food was pretty good and the entertainment was out of this world. It started to mist a little and the staff jumped right on passing out panchos. Thankfully it stopped and we didnt really need the panchos very long. The authentic hawaiian items... More

I wouldn't rave about this luau, but I won't trash it either. The food was plentiful and tasty. The standard drinks (mai tai, blue hawaii) were complimentary but a bit weak. The show was very good, many changes from early tahitian dance through modern hawaiian hula...ending with the requisite samaoan fire dance. The location is key, this one is right... More

We loved the Luau. Very different for the kids. They got such a kick out of the story telling done by the dancers. Food was good. The best part of the evening was when a beautiful girl danced in front of the sunset..it was breathtaking. So much fun

The Luau at Royal Lahaina is one of the best ones on the island. It can be expensive but if you are staying at the Royal Lahaina resort, make sure to mention this as you will get a significant discount for you and your friends (even if they stay at another hotel). Great show, great dancing, great food & drinks.
