Fantastic! - We only ate at the Key restaurant. The drinks and food were delicious. The hotel pool was also elegant.

50th bday - So much fun! The dancing and fire show were amazing. The buffet was delicious featuring fresh fish, prime rib and for desert a pineapple upside down cake, coconut cake and pineapple chunks that were literally best pineapple I’ve ever eaten

Good show but not on the beach - The food was good and the show was good but folding tables and chairs on a non beach setting cost 1 star

Good choice for a non-beach luau - We chose this luau as it came highly recommended for the food and entertainment. It did not disappoint! We opted for the VIP seating as my mom is using a wheelchair due to limited mobility, though she can walk short distances. It is held on the roof top of the Marriott. Our seats were in the very front so we had an upclose experience, though slightly off to the side. It was buffet style, which was a bit awkward. I went with my mom and got her a plate, then had to go back for myself. The food was delicious, especially the pork and prime rib. The performance was AWESOME!! I highly recommend the Paina Waikiki Luau if you are looking for one.

Great show but tell me fuel off that attic - Show is really good food was okay, but overall, the atmosphere I would love to experience more of an authentic party, but as a show it was nicely while performed performers on

Over priced - Not worth the cost! - The show is in a hotel with no atmosphere. The show itself is okay, however, I do not think it is worth more than $40 per person for the show only. An overpriced shame, which I can’t understand being rated so highly by TripAdvisor.

Skip it - The performers were pretty good but the show itself was a bit cheesy. We enjoyed the live band. But don’t believe the good reviews about the food. The food was terrible. The prime rib, the sweet potatoes, and the desserts were ok. Everything else was not. We wanted a more authentic luau but we opted for this one because it was closer to our hotel. I wish we would have saved the $600. I definitely do not recommend. Again, the performers were pretty good but that does not justify the exorbitant price.
