The experience was wonderful! The performance was very authentic and was able to tell a story of the history of the dances with a little humor tucked in for fun. All of the seats were good but I enjoyed paying a little extra to view it from the closer seats. It was well worth it. I would have loved a longer show.

My 15 year old daughter and I attended the Polynesian fire dinner show in Daytona Beach, Fl on 7/26/22. The ambience was amazing. We were given a leis when we 1st entered and our picture was right after , then we were escorted to our table. The food was really good and our waiter was fantastic. The show was excellent!! We really enjoyed it, it was entertaining from start to finish. All of the performers were great. The performer who was referred to as “the captain” was very funny and he kept the crowd laughing. The entire staff was very professional and helpful! I highly recommended this Polynesian fire dinner show if ever in Daytona, Fl area. I would not mind going again.

We attended the Polynesian Fire Luau in Orlando for our 29th Anniversary. I liked the Orlando Forum as a venue. It was nicely decorated in a Polynesian Theme. The waitstaff were excellent. Kept the sodas coming all night, though you could purchase alcoholic beverages if you wanted at an extra charge. There was a platter to share of Kailua Pork, BBQ Chicken and Encrusted Mahi Mahi on a bed of rice, green beans and red peppers. There was also a house salad and delicious Hawaiian rolls with a sweet sauce as well as a pineapple upside down muffin with strawberry. The interaction with the crowd was enjoyable. They had the men volunteers try to learn the Haka and the women the hula. The singing was excellent as it was more current upbeat Hawaiian music. The women dancing with the poi balls was great, but I think the Fire Dancing was the best. It was very well done. If you are looking for a fun night out I believe you can't go wrong attending this luau. Great personalities too.

I am extremely disappointed with Polynesian Fire and their lack of concern for Covid protocol, which forces me to give a very poor review. I went to the show last night in Daytona Beach and there were several people admitted and allowed at the buffet without masks. I specifically asked if masks were required when I booked my tickets and it was confirmed that masks are required. When I was at the dinner show I pointed these people out to management and they told me they would be provided masks. This was not the case at all. They were not provided masks and were at the buffet and walking between tables without face masks. Polynesian Fire doesn't take this pandemic seriously and because they lied to me and show no concern or compassion for others I cannot give a good review.

Great staff with incredible talents! Down to Earth individuals telling the crowds a story through fire, dancing, music and comedy. Looking forward to coming again when our family and friends are here to visit. Definitely talk to the staff afterwards—their passion and care for their company is evident. It’s a must-do/see in Daytona!
Best wishes to the company 🙏🏼

August 2022 , Attended the Polynesian Fire dinner show in Daytona, Florida.
The price includes all you can eat buffet and the show. You will be brought into a basement room of the hotel for the meal and show. Depending on where you are seated, you will not be able to see much due to rhe low ceiling and even lower stage area. Food is ok for the price and show is difficult to view and follow at times. I was more amazed that the use of fire is allowed in the basement of a hotel. Performers do try hard to entertain throughout, as long as youbare not seated near this one annoying emplyee whose job it is to scream out constantly and make it appear the audience is responding enthusiastically. Overall, if you are looking for something to do in Daytona give it a shot.

Well upon arriving there was clear signage and also we attended the show at Daytona Beach and definitely looking forward to checking out the show in Myrtle Beach. Everything was well organized and there was someone to assist you with seating, drinks, and it was a well planned event. Dinner was served there and they made sure that guests never ran out of food and I noticed that they kept the food area clean and utensils. They had gloves for all guests to use when getting the food. They did a good job on following safety guidelines. The performers truly put their heart into the show and their passion reflected that. They did a great job! with involving the audience and all I can say it was not a dull moment. They made everyone feel so welcomed. I'm thinking we might can make this a tradition. You should definitely go and check this out with the family or friends it makes for a great evening and the tickets are well priced. Parking was not an issue, it was more than enough.

We attended the show in Daytona Beach at the Hawaiian Inn and had a blast!! The emcee of the show was a riot and kept things moving along from one act to another so there wasn't any real lags in entertainment. The buffet was very good. Many choices from salad to dessert. It was all very organized so there wasn't any mad dash to the food tables. Everything was included in the price except alcohol, it want was extra. I would go see it again!!

We went to the Daytona Beach location of the Polynesian Fire Show at the Hawaiian Inn. This was a Valentines Day gift for my wife since next year we are going on a Hawaiian vacation. There are no words to describe how impressive the performers are! I’m still trying to figure out how the Samoan performer didn’t burn his tongue with a burning stick laying on it! I was invited on stage to retrieve the Peace Leaf. I am the River Pirate 13 on YouTube so I went into character and played along! I highly recommend seeing this show!

I see there are 2 locations in Myrtle Beach- St. Johns Inn and Plantation Hotel. Which one is better? Is there a difference? Plantation location is only on Wednesday night.

St. Johns Inn is where we went. The show was great the food was outstanding. The building is old and dated. If I were you I would try the Plantation first and then try St. Johns Inn next. I hope this information helps and may you have a wonderful time.
Have a blessed day.

Does this facility accommodate individuals with gluten allergies such as celiac disease?

The dinner is served buffet style. As I recall, there were gf options (salad, roast chicken, etc - but food was not labeled) -- but they don't do table service and I doubt they have the ability to do a special gf plated meal. It's more about the show than the food, for sure - I would plan ahead and either not eat if severe celiac, or bring something along with you that you can eat.

Thank you for your input. The dance you are speaking of was the “Haka”, it was thoroughly explained, including why they stick out their tongues. It is an ancient Maori War dance. Our dance group is comprised of LDS and Christians. We all have a family prayer night once a week. What you were seeing was a portrayal of an ancient Polynesian dance, which is the purpose of the show.

Are their any reviews of the Plantation Resort location in Myrtle Beach? Also, any photos of the food served would be helpful.

This Thursday will be our first show at Plantation Resort, so we don't have any photos of that show, yet. We have had a sit down to sample the food offering and it is great. A professional chef is in charge of the food.

I went to Captains Bridge location. They have free parking (we parked on the lefthand side). You go into the office on the left side of the building and wait in the lobby until they open the doors (which are up the stairs towards the back of the lobby). Most of the show and buffet style dinner is held in a large ballroom/conference style type room. The fire part of the show is outside by the pool. The tables are set up in front of, and to the left side of the stage.

Sorry for answering so late...just saw your question. It was not at Sharkey's due to Irma coming and we had a lot of rain, so they had us go north to an Inn at the last minute. We saw Sharkey's and was happy not to have to go there! I didn't tip for the meal or performers, but did the bartender.
