Upon check in, we were informed we were in a alternate location (chapel side). Unfortunately, this location wasn't great for the production. the entire event felt like a makeshift stage, and you could see people walking behind and to the side to run food or to change into costumes, which felt really amateur. it was nowhere near the polished production that Aulani has--Aulani had a full stage, a professional feel, and it felt magical with performers all around. The dancers stayed primarily on stage. They had a few interactive parts of the show which was fun. One thing that threw me was on arrival shell leis were given to everyone, but if you wanted the kukui nuts (which I asked for when I noticed them being handed out) you had to have a VIP table, which I didn't like. I felt everyone should get the same lei and the VIP gets you the viewing advantage and priority service. I felt The photography was also really amateur--it didn't highlight Grand Wailea at all, and the folder for the photo was just plain, not special. The pre-show games were fine but not immersive; the young hosts were nice, but it never pulled you in. I enjoyed the host of the show and the fire dancer. Both stole the show. As for the food; we were served taro chips before the 1st course, --they were good, though I recognized them from Costco, which was disappointing. The first course was really strong--poke, mac salad, corn beef, salad, and Brussels sprouts. 5/5 for the first course. Our server Todd was fantastic and made sure we could get more if we wanted. He also helped us grab drinks from the bar. The open bar was a nice perk, those how much can realistically drink in 2 hours. The second course, the proteins, were a letdown--beef was good, but the chicken and fish were just okay. It also came with rice Ang cooked veggies, basic but good. We got a several dessert options plated as our 3rd course. Everything was too coconut-heavy, and for this price, it needed more variety. We asked to wait on dessert, but because took our time eating. Even at our request, they had to give us the dessert even though we weren't finished. They rushed to serve dessert because we were coming to the end of the program. I really felt like the Grand Wailea could offer a better luau for being a luxury hotel. Overall the experience didn't justify the price.

My bf and I had such a blast, we got here and walked around the gorgeous property, took photos and loved the beach views. All of the workers are friendly and happy to greet you with your wooden lei. We were given a couple complimentary professional photographs (I choose to frame ours!) The BEST part of this luau is the unlimited bar package - we tried all of the cocktails and loved that it's all top shelf liquor. We were seated at a table of other couples and were still friends with many of them to this day. They matched us all so well based on our age/ what we were looking for. We had great food and the show was so enchanting. Truly a magical evening I couldn't have wished more from! Well worth the price- yes it's expensive, but you'll be thrilled once you step on the property.

The performances were culturally focused and I left learning a few things about the history of luaus and the influence of Polynesian heritage in Hawaii's formation. Performers were all talented and entertaining, but you won't get a fire-knife guy or an emcee who's cracking jokes. If you're looking for a minstrel show for tourists, this ain't it. The 4 course-menu was tastefully prepared and presented. Our server explained each of the dishes and I got the sense that everything was locally sourced within a few mile radius. The service was outstanding. Before dinner, you'll get the typical roast pig unearthing. And there were a few other stations that were interesting - Hawaiian bowling, hula demonstration, live band, etc. And of course, you're right on the waterfront so you can watch the sun set and have a beautiful view while you sip the aforementioned unlimited mai tai's. This luau has been going strong for 40 years, and I am so glad they survived the Lahaina fires. I felt good about supporting a Lahaina community that takes pride in their heritage and history.

Cruise up some stairs (or ramp!) and meander along the right side towards the beach and you'll find the spot up just a few more steps at the end. There is street parking, not a ton. There is a paid parking garage, didn't explore it though. There is a paid lot across from the shopping plaza, also didn't explore it. Staff was friendly, waiter was especially attentive, friendly, and helpful. Drinks: cocktail options plentiful and seemed thoughtful. Had a long drive back to the hotel so opted for butterfly Mai tai mock tail and fresh lemonade. Both were fire, didn't miss the booze at all. Food: all very fresh, not the soulless preprepared stuff you too often find in vacation destinations. Anything that notes produce from O'o farms is going to be FLAMEY and bursting with flavors, so I'd recommend that. Mahi mahi Wellington was a unique dish that was worth trying - sort of felt like it was created out of a Chopped (the cooking show) basket, and I say that in a good way! Very creative dish. Sweet brioche was fire and worth the price of admission. Risotto was enjoyable, mushrooms were phenomenal - quantity of rice was way too much for us (I question whether any one person has finished the dish).
