Lovely Luau! - The whole event, from start to finish, was so fun! Check-in was very easy and we were quickly seated. It’s a buffet style dinner and it runs very smoothly, food was delicious and exactly what was promised at the time of booking. The staff was SO kind! From the welcoming crew, the wait staff, and the performers, we regime was friendly.
The drinks were also delicious, both non-alcoholic and alcohol drinks.
And then came the performance. It was so good; it was colorful, and gave so much historical information and the band/singers/dancers put on a show!!! There was always something going on, on stage. And wait until you see the fire performance! Whew! Worth it and would recommend to anyone looking for a luau!
