Don't waste your time or money on this Luau. I was looking forward to an authentic Hawaiian Luau…read more This was a restaurant in a strip mall with a luau on the back patio. The stage was a platform with a pop up tent type cover with a view of the dumpster behind the fence and the recycling center beyond that. The food was awful, small portion, cold and not very flavorful. We had a cheesy picture taken upon arrival in front of a backdrop that was a fishing charter. The outcome didn't even crop out the building. Truly as waste of $300.00+. I felt I was taken for a fool/stupid tourist.

I thought it started at 5, but the doors actually didn't open til 5:30 so we were waiting around for a bit. The welcome drinks were nice, as were the activities, though there were only three: bracelet making, stamp art, and a game like bowling (we didn't do it so I don't know the name). There wasn't actually a ton of time before the program started so this worked. The drinks tasted good but were very watered down. I had about 4 and didn't feel much of a buzz. They had us line up and get food and there was plenty. The poke was disturbingly fishy tasting (not good), but I liked the POG butter and rolls, mac salad, beef, pork (a bit too salty) and chicken. The fish was ok. It would have been nice if they had a few more options for fruit. The desserts were actually really good, I thought. I loved the fluffiness of the chantilly cake, and the pineapple upside down cake was also good. The passion fruit muffins tasted good and had a dense texture that grew on me, but when I got my own it had lots of hard lumps in it and I was a bit put off. The show was nice with a band and explanations about local culture and legends and a little history. I like how they moved through time with it and covered different regions like you were on a tour. I honestly got a little bored at the act before the fire dance and my kid almost wanted to leave, but then it was the fire dance and we were good and that was the last part. The timing was just right in my opinion. Overall, a touristy thing to do for sure. The price is on par with other places in the area and since we were staying at the hotel this was a no brainer. I'm glad we went for my own curiosity and for my kid to experience it, though my husband was bored. It was a good experience and well orchestrated.

The only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is because once the show started, the buffet was never replenished. Its supposed to be all you can eat. Also, photos/videos were not allowed during the show.

We got premium seating at $730 for three people. We had our own table at the front of the show, leis included ($10 if you do not purchase premium seating), and first service to the buffet. That's pretty much all of the bonus that comes with premium seating. We got our family photo taken, and it was a very beautiful photo. $25 to download the image without a watermark, $35 to get it printed. If you do choose to get the image, download it for $25 and get it printed at Walmart or CVS for $2. The staff who checked us in, seated us, and served us were all very friendly, chatty, and kind. They did a wonderful job. The dancers and band were wonderful, and I appreciate the dedication to describing what a luau resembles; an ancient Hawaiian royal feast. The pork was delicious, and being able to see it taken out of the ground was a really neat experience. Be sure to check in early (5pm for premium, 5:15 for standard) and be first in line to everything, because the line for the bar, tattoos, games and activities, and crowd around the pig build up fast. They have a wide variety of traditional Hawaiian dishes, familiar food for kids, seafood, pork, chicken, beef, sides, and desserts at the all you can eat buffet. Their drink menu is extremely limited; for $750 I would have expected access to Piña Coladas and dacharies, something blended. The teriyaki beef had good flavor but was very tough. Our session ended at 8. At 7pm, the event was called off because the rain was too heavy. This makes sense; there's a lot of danger for the dancers to be on such slippery floors, the buffet food had been soaked, no fire dancers could perform, etc. I understand they can't control the weather. We reached out and asked for a refund, and they offered for us to come back on Tuesday. That is not possible, as we fly out tonight (Monday). They say they do not offer refunds if rain causes the event to end early, and we are now in contact with management. Their choice to completely cancel the show instead of moving it inside or something of the sort was very disappointing, and our experience was not at all worth the almost $800 we spent. Review update; they gave us a 2/3 refund for the rain, which was much appreciated! Mahalo for the wonderful time. And yes, printed is $30 not $35, I had read the numbers wrong. We had a good time, but it would have been much better if a few tweaks were made. Mahalo for the friendly staff, great dancers, great band, good food, and education about Pacific Islander history! I hope to see some adjustments made for future guests to make the most of their time and money.

Remember that you are paying for a buffet, that could be moved indoors to a corporate banquet room,…read moreat a price point of approximately $200 per person. The Island Breeze Luau left a lot to be desired. Open Bar with Caveats: Yes, there's an open bar, but the liquor selection runs on the lower end, with brands like Skyy and Whalers rum. Buffet: The food setup is where things really fell apart. With a large group of guests all trying to get their money's worth, the buffet lines became a free-for-all. Plates were piled excessively high, and by the time some guests got through the line, several dishes were already gone. At this price, everyone deserves access to the full spread the format simply doesn't support that. The other guests aren't Ohana, they are trying to get their moneys worth so they act gross this is why I loathe buffets. No Sunset, No Outdoors: Perhaps the most disappointing aspect: our show was moved indoors. A luau without the outdoors, without the warm Hawaiian air, and most heartbreakingly without the sunset is a fundamentally different (and lesser) experience. This is an inherent risk, and it's one that can completely change what you're paying for and I would not take again. Weather is unpredictable we were told 50 minutes before check in it was moving inside. Consider the Alternatives: For a similar or slightly higher budget, you can enjoy a private oceanside dinner with premium cocktails with your real Ohana and a guaranteed view of that stunning Hawaiian sunset. The entertainment here doesn't bridge that gap. Go in with very managed expectations or explore other options first. Also if you were paying for a family of 5 this is diabolical pricing for this event. I paid for myself and I can afford to be out 200 bucks for what was essentially Hawaiian Golden Corral with the most annoying selfish group of tourists.
