This was my first Luau. Food was good and service was good. We got the VIP seating which was closer to the stage and they allow you to go through the buffet line first.

The highlight of this luau was definitely the performance, but the rest of the experience was disappointing. The FAQs state that check in is on the 3rd floor of the Marriott, but don't list the location of the luau itself, which is essentially a rooftop deck with views of other hotels and parking towers. The buffet was okay, but certainly not amazing, and was served in typical hotel buffet chafing dishes. I know the logistics of serving so many people give them few options, but there was no effort to dress up the presentation at all. My recommendation is to book show only and have dinner elsewhere.

The entertainment was fantastic and I don't want to take away from them at all--especially Elias the kaiki fire knife warrior! I loved the show!! The food was good and plenty of it but the event started at 530p and we did not get to access the buffet until 645p--some "VIP" guests were on their second or third trip to the buffet before we went through the first time. The only thing we were offered prior was either lemonade or MaiTai--when the server offered our options, I incorrectly assumed the MaiTai was nonalcoholic, since she offered it to my teenage kids as well. That may have been the strongest drink I've ever been served. Also we were packed in like sardines and seated in a line of four, rather than across the table from each other so we could have a conversation.

Travelled with husband and teen son. We knew it was on the 3rd floor but no signage to find the exact place of luau. Had to wander around and ask. Entertainment and food were outstanding! The drinks were super strong- so good! We didnt know we had to validate parking so had to go back to get validation from the luau staff not front desk. But overall- great time

It was nice. It lacked the traditional luau ambiance. I was expecting tiiki torches/fire pits roasted pig. The price was too high for what we got.

Very, very fun friendly staff. Loved the fire dancers! Loved the music and story telling. Singer had a great voice.

The food and show was amazing! The kids and adults enjoyed trying new foods! Not too crowded and we were placed at the end where a pole was, it did not obstruct out view at all. Great experience!

My family enjoyed the show, the dancers were great, the MC was great, very informative. The food was only ok. My first luau, so I didn’t really know what to expect for the quality of the food, others vacationing have said the food at other luaus is better. It was convenient being that we were staying at the Marriott
