This was our first luau and will probably be the last. We booked this luau through the concierge at our hotel and it sounded great and most likely would have been if the bus would have arrived on time for pick up … due to arriving late we did not have the time to walk around and fully enjoy the tattoos, Santa photos etc as we had been advised. We did manage to get photos with the parrots but like ...

Paradise Cove had amazing service and incredibly talented performers! Everyone we met showed such warm hospitality and was genuine. The show itself was entertaining and beautifully done!

The biggest disappointment was that our bus arrived late...

We just came for the Luau! We had a great evening. They had a lot of activities that were cool prior to the show! I really enjoyed the Polynesian temporary tattoos and the demonstrations!

It was good but I thought there w...

You can’t even begin to imagine how delicious the pork is. My husband stanned the man who danced with fire, we ended up seeing him on the way out where my husband approached him to tell him how great he thought he was 🤣he was so nice and talked to us f...
