Loved the fruit spread! The Luau Show was awesome - not only the dance itself but there was a historical interpretation pertaining to the dance - whether the Hula or the Fire Dance! Plus the audience participation was real great & warmed up the audience to the whole show...

We had a total blast at the Luau! We called ahead and we’re told to arrive by 4:45 if we wanted to pick our seats. We were 2nd in line and got front row prime seating! We met other families while in line and got to talk about our experiences at our respective hotels. That was fun because we made some friends in line. We received a drink upon entering. The drinks were a bit watered down, but I just switched to a bottled drink. The server Steven, was amazing. He explained what we would expect and was so attentive. Food was out right away and they let us get food by table which made the line short. I liked the MC. He was cracking jokes with everyone. The food was good. I was nervous because I had read some bad reviews, but it’s cooked for the masses. So expect buffet food. I loved the fish, noodles and dressing for the salad. The performance was fantastic. The dancers deserve the most recognition for the night. Especially the “Chief”. The fire show at the end was simply amazing and how the dancers engaged with the audience and brought them on the stage to dance was fun. Great show!!!!

The luau was so much fun and definitely a must for any trip in Hawaii! The dinner buffet was great & there were plenty of options and the host was very funny. The music was lively and the dancers were entertaining. It made for a well rounded hawaiian experience.

Overall, a really good luau. Probably the best luau food we have ever had and we have been to a lot of luaus. Right on the water and outstanding service. I wish they had blended drinks as an option, but the food and service more than make up for it. The performance, while nice, especially the fire knife performance, is on the okay side. But, again, the food was excellent.

Fabulous in all ways. Amazing performances, beautiful costumes, gorgeous ocean front location and the food was top notch. Pulled pork was the best ever, and our server was so attentive. Enjoyed every minute of it. Highly recommend this show. Best luau I have ever been to.

Beautiful setting and a great show. I thoroughly enjoyed the older gentleman who was the emcee. He kept it light and fun and a bit cheesy, which was perfect. The musicians were excellent, the dancing was beautiful and the fire knife dancers were an impressive finish to the show. The food was mixed - the pork and chicken were really good, the steak and cooked salmon were institutional. The desserts were awesome and so were the drinks. I didn’t know it was an open bar when we signed up and enjoyed a mai tai, a Kauai sunrise (more juice than anything else) and a glass of bubbly. Our server was very attentive with drinks and kept my children stocked with mocktails. My twelve-year-olds also enjoyed the hula lessons with swinging poi balls. The Grand Hyatt is just a lovely place - gorgeous views and grounds. Tip: get there a little early to choose seats and sit at the far tables toward the building and you get shade faster. It was a very sunny day and we got a little sprinkle of rain mid-show but nothing that dampened our experience, no pun intended.

My family of 10 had an incredible time! As we walked to the big lawn right by the beach, we were greeted by the lovely hosts who gave us leis. Our waitress, Jessica (or Melissa) she had 2 beautiful dutch braids in that night. She always made sure our drinks were filled and cleared our plates fast. Eddie sat us and he helped me surprise my uncle with a great bday celebration and get him on stage with the performers. The host was great and the performers were amazing! Overall it was such a great and beautiful night!
