I felt the starlight Luau was a great experience! The performers were talented, happy to be there and put on a great show. The food was delicious and service was great, we got a couple extra drinks comped as well. I felt for the price, I expected a little bit more, there was dancing, music and food, but not much more. I wish there was a pig being carried in or other Polynesian aspects besides the fire show and hula dancing. I also felt the atmosphere/location was a missed opportunity, I wish it was on the beach or better venue than entering through the parking lot where hotel employees were taking their smoke break. The show was fun and entertaining and not too long, meal was good, I just wish there was a little more bang for my buck.

It was well organised and no one waited too long. The food was delicious, well cooked and there was plenty. The included drinks were good. The dancing and quality of the entertainment was excellent. Really good value for money IMHO

One of the better shows in Waikiki. The food was very good and they had something for every taste. They even had a kids section for picky kids. The preformers were sharp and did an exceptional job. This is about as good as it gets for a hotel luau. Tip, put the pulled pork in the ube rolls (the purple ones) it is fantastic!

The luau was a wonderful experience with great food and incredible performers. Only 4 stars because the wait to get in was exceedingly and unacceptably long and there is absolutely nowhere to sit. Two people in our party walk with canes and standing in line for almost 90 minutes waiting for the doors to open was exhausting for them. There is plenty of room for the venue to add benches to make the experience more accessible for those with disabilities.

I know some may feel this is not a true Luau, but I found it very informative and entertaining. The food is buffet style, decent but not extravagant. The dancers were excellent, with a variety of dances from different islands/culture, along with a historical explanation.

Wasn't sure with all the negative reviews. Ignore them all. The show was excellent, the atmosphere beautiful on the rooftop with amazing views of waikiki and beaches. The food was very good. Our group thoroughly enjoyed the entire luau. The photo and print out, great price for the multiple prints; the single best photo from our entire trip. Highly recommend this luau. The staff was absolutely amazing and each service staff very courteous, helpful and welcoming!!! Thank you for a great evening. Considering the professional luau performance, it is well worth the price!!

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the Luau. The performers were great, and the fire dancers didn't disappoint. The food was okay as well. The Kuala pork was actually pretty tasty. We enjoyed it enough to get a second serving. We got there early and had to wait, but it wasn't too bad. Once the doors opened, we were seated fast.

Expensive but worth it. Tickets $170 each. Dinner and an amazing show that shows dances from the pacific islands. They take a pic of you before you get in, the photo folder it comes in has a lot of cool info. It's$45, on a card, but for me it was worth it because this was most likely a once in a lifetime vacay.
