The show was great, it was small in size so you could actually see the stage. The pulled pork was fantastic. Drinks made to order were better than drinks made. Great selection of vendors. Two photos on arrival and sunset, photographer at sunset was much better More

We had never attended a Luau before so can't offer any comparisons but we enjoyed our evening here. We were staying at the Mahana and the Sheraton is a nice walk from there. Thought the food was pretty good, the open bar was used with moderation, and the performance was entertaining and not too drawn out. The beachfront location on... More

We ate dinner at a happy hour just down the way and then booked the "show only" tickets. This was a great way to see a luau on a budget. More

Fun time. You can spend a bit more ($10/ticket) and get a seat up front which is a great deal. We had kids and being able to sit right in front with them made the experience much better. More

I really enjoyed the show and the fire dancing was especially good. We sat up close and to the right after you enter, so we could get some good sunset pictures, too. Drinks were good. Music good. Hula show was also good. The food was not great and maybe just "fairly" good. I liked the fish and pork, but the... More

Our Luau was part of a conference so I am not sure if it was the same or if it differed from the one put on for the guests. I am assuming it was the same. The sunset is beautiful, as is the location. the food was good. The mac nut fish was a real stand out. all the traditional... More

The number 1 rated luau on the island was booked for months. According the guide book Hawaii Revealed, the only difference between the Kaanapali luau and other one was this: Kaanapali does a show that illustrates themes of the South Pacific, vs. just Hawaii. I can say this, the food at the Sunset Luau was very good and the setting... More

Although the location was beautiful it felt more like a rushed lounge act. As previous reviews say the fire thrower is the best part of the show. The dancers were very good but it was not engaging enough of the crowd. Typically these are high energy shows. The food was good to very good. More

We arrived and 5:00 and stood on line for an hour waiting to be seated. The women received a lei, the men received a wooden fish hook on a string. There was a photographer taking and selling photos. All the tables seat ten people. We sat at one in the center and could easily see the show, which was very... More
