These folks are so great at what they do. I'll be honest I was really just waiting for the fire dancers...for me that was the highlight, but all the performers are great and did a great job of keeping the crowd engaged by participating. Only complaint is that a lady guest was standing up and taking videos and blocking everyone else's view behind her. Other than the inconsiderate guest, the show, venue and performers were fantastic. Also, couldn't have asked for more perfect weather!

I love a good mystery, so I immediately reserved a spot to attend The Dinner Detective's first…read moreproduction in Honolulu last weekend. It turned out to be one of the best live entertainment shows I've been to in years. It was hilarious, engaging, and most importantly, there was murder, and lots of it. If you purchase a Groupon, you will need to choose which show date you'd like to attend and pay an additional admission fee of $12.48 to cover tax and waitstaff gratuity. You will also be asked to choose your entrée for the 4-course dinner included in your purchase price. The choices are sous vide chicken breast, fresh island fish, and penne pasta. The show is held at the Alana Waikiki Business Center of the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Alana - Waikiki Beach. The free WIFI sign-in and password will be made available to you when you check-in. At check-in, you will be given a ticket according to your entrée choice as well as a name tag to write down an alias. My alias for the evening was Agatha Poirot. There is a cash bar available as well as free iced tea and coffee. An ATM and restrooms are conveniently located outside of the room where the performance is held. The actors and hosts are very entertaining and did a great job in making the evening a lot of fun. I won't give the story away, but I will say that this particular storyline will have multiple murders, and the actors make it tough to figure out who the real killer is. I thought the two detectives were the best performers of the evening and were laugh out loud funny. They need to be given their own show, perhaps a parody of Hawaii Five-0! The top sleuth who not only figures out the murderer, but writes down the best explanation as to why the murderer killed his or her victims, will win a murder mystery entertainment prize package. I was told that the mysteries will change, so there will be opportunities for audiences to attend future shows with new mysteries to solve. The Dinner Detective is one of the best entertainment options in Waikiki and a fun way to spend an evening for tourists and locals.

This was somewhere between a 3 (A-OK) to 4 (Yay) for me but with no half stars, I'm up for the 4…read more It's always nice to have an option for a dinner date out with friends with some entertainment. The staff and actors were great The hostesses were quite attentive and friendly and kept popping to different tables to check up on everyone. The hotel banquet staff was not quite up to par, maybe because they felt that they should be more "in the background" with everything going on. The mystery was well done, some twists and turns and not as easy as you think it might be to solve the case. It was easy to figure out who was acting in the audience vs. who the audience participants were so you could narrow down the suspects quite quickly. Since both my husband and a friend was "suspect", it even made my choices slimmer. For those who like to mingle, it's a fun way of interacting and meeting people but if you are on the introverted side, this may not be for you. Quite a few customers were in the "acting community". The food was so-so for me although my group enjoyed it. Both the chicken and fish were prepared well and was covered with a sauce that was tasty. Salad and dessert were good. Beverage choices were limited but expected with limited bar service, soft drinks and coffee. This is a fun outing for a group. If you really get into solving the mystery and talk to everyone in the room, you probably would be able to get more into the case. Expect some characters..... and I don't mean Mickey. Some people can really get into this sort of thing!

We have been here a few times but everytime when we bring someone who hasn't we try to get here…read more I've heard from some people that it's the second best on the island ( considering how many there are) isn't bad. The luau is actually pretty good, the first time was great but after so many times it's a little bit of an anti climax now. In fact I'm almost over Hawaii. I'm saying almost, not definitely.

We attended the luau on September 22nd. When we arrived, we asked the front desk where will call…read morewas located. They told us that they could help us. Once we provided both our military ID cards, I was told we could get a refund. They asked us to get the refund from the will call down by the luau. We didn't actually plan to ask for a refund. It wasn't that big of a deal. When we arrived at will call, the female told us we owed an additional $34. She repeatedly FOUR times that my military ID stated that Travis was retired and deceased. This is something that my daughter and I both clearly don't need to be remind of multiple times. She stated that she would let the front desk know that a widow of a deceased soldier was a  #2 status, and we had to pay the $120. For an establishment that focuses on serving the military, this is poor public relations. It was the lack of understanding that two depended of a soldier with a 100% VA rating and service related death was not as worthy. If he would NOT have lost his life, he WOULD have been with us. We would have been just like the other retired family members attending the event. My daughter now a senior in HS, who lost her father as a kindergartner, just looked at me. Travis was taken from us for his service to our country. He didn't want me to raise our child as a single mother. I have always wanted her to know that his service mattered, so I have purposely not remarried.  At the end of the show, spouses and family members were asked to stand. I just couldn't force myself to stand after the earlier events. I felt disrespected and like a second class citizen even as a wife of a retired soldier who gave his life for his country. Then, the real kicker came when the host asked people to stand if you knew someone who was a fallen hero. Yet our fallen husband and father is good enough to be honored as the event ends! Our child just looked at me. I motioned for her to stand. We both just sat there. In Hawaiian, Hale Koa literally translates to "house of warriors" or "house of the soldier"! Travis was our personal warrior!  Tonight the words don't match the actions! I don't think I am being overly sensitive when I say tonight was a punch to the gut multiple times. Our daughter said, "I guess our military card doesn't mean much . . . Does it?" Did we have fun? Yes. Did we have a bitter taste in our mouth when we left? Yes. Did Madison receive a very mixed message today? YES! The result of this evening will have a lasting impact on us both in a negative manner for years.  For an establishment whose mission and goal is to provide a first-class hotel and recreation facility at affordable prices exclusively for military members, their families, and other eligible members of the defense community . . . Your establishment had an epic failure! Please train your staff to have respect for all deceased soldiers! Many of them gave up their life. At least the staff should have a bit of compassion for the family members living their lives without their beloved soldier.  Disappointed, Rebecca Madison

Out of the whole experience, one of the best parts was our shuttle driver, RJ--or AJ, I apologize…read morebecause I can't remember exactly which one it was. From the minute we got on the shuttle, he started breaking down some of the history of the island and really set the tone for the night. He had everyone introduce themselves and share a little bit about who they were and where they were from. He was extremely friendly and funny, but what I really appreciated was that he didn't try to dictate the conversation. He let it happen naturally. Before long, everybody on the shuttle was talking with each other and sharing personal experiences--what brought them to the island, why they chose this luau instead of some of the others, and just life in general. It honestly felt less like a shuttle full of strangers and more like a group of people getting to know each other. He also recommended a drink to me. I cannot remember what the hell it was called--I just remember something like "AVI"--but it was GOOD. I had six of them, so apparently the recommendation worked. The cousin who helped host our event that night--I unfortunately forgot her name too--was also great. She was very interactive with everybody and made sure everyone felt included and participated instead of just sitting there watching a show. Overall, I definitely recommend the experience. One piece of advice: BRING A FREAKING HAT. It gets hot up there while the sun is setting, and depending on where you're seated, you may have that Hawaiian sun hitting you directly for a couple of hours. Bring a good pair of sunglasses, a hat, and some sunscreen. Great people, great atmosphere, and a really memorable experience. Sorry for the pictures I didn't take many I mostly took videos

I felt like part of the "family". Staff was super nice. And, I learned a lot! Would definitely do this luau again on another visit. Very comprehensive and informative. Entertaining and sentimental.

Something i feel like they could have done better was the seating, they know how many people booked ahead of time, yet they still set up so many tables and MANY were left empty. I didn't like this at all, i felt like when i was taking my pictures i kept thinking to myself, I didnt want to show the empty tables, cause it would look like this place cant event fill up the venue it must not be good.
