Paradise Cove Luau

No need to come early - the fun starts just before dinner when the pig ceremony commences and the dancers start. Great show, great views !!

Great show during dinner . We went too early though and the first hour or two was a bit uneventful. The pig ceremony to start dinner had incredible views !

This luau was incredible! Neat activities, good food, and an amazing show complete with a fire dance ! You will not be disappointed! Takes place right on the beach !

Great time, good show, fun activities, decent good, fabulous views and scenery, but Cousin Rich was the best, had the best bus ride of my life, Cousin Chris kept it fun.

My family and I all had a great time here. The overall experience was enjoyable, the staff was super welcoming and friendly , and the food was great. Don't forget to try a lava flow !

Great time! Upgrade to Orchid Buffet and get the Waikiki Shuttle! Lots to do before the show, good food, good show, lots of fun!

Great staff + experience overall, esp after having read many neg. reviews. Yes, its "touristy ." But, how "un-touristy" can a luau catered to tourists be? Don't think u have to do the deluxe.

This was one of my favorite experiences in the island . Best personal hands in experience. Worth every penny!! Try the lava flow . Yummy!!!

You have to do a luau while in Hawaii and this is one of the better options. Entertainment was great, food was average. Plus we learned a Hawaii saying: "if your in love dance , if not keep drinking."

Spectacular sunset and beautiful shows. Make sure you wait until the main show starts. Food was OK.

During WWII, the area adjacent to Paradise Cove was used as a recreation center by Army and Navy servicemen. The pool is separated from the ocean by natural walls of reef over which the waves flow to

Amazing show and delicious food! Our bus guide was awesome and we had so much fun.

Lots of things to do while you wait for the program to start, then it's stop one, stop two, stop three, dinner . Dinner was okay. If there's something like Hometown on O'ahu, I would liken it to that.

Extremely frustrated with the first come first serve seating since we were the third family in the park and somehow the majority of the tables in our allotted sequin were already reserved-disappointed

Lava flows are delish, food is okay but you are really there for the entertainment so just enjoy that and all the free activities. All the employees are super nice and make you feel welcome.

Wonderful experience for a luau. Everyone was really nice and I guess it was a slow night because there were no lines !

If you befriend some of the wait staff they will bring drinks to your table just before and during dinner , that way you don't have to wait in the long lines . Just don't forget to tip well ! Mahalo!

I've been to several luaus over the years and this was my best experience so far. Cozy and friendly !

Beautiful. Picturesque. Can't beat it. Great food. Great service. Great entertainment!

Fun luau. Good sampling of Polynesian cultures and cuisines.

Awesome place to come with friends and family. Captures the Hawaiian spirit well .

Great luau!! Sunset was spectacular

Wonderful show, excellent dinner , fantastic customer service

I used to Bartend here! You should try the Banana Mac!! Special Mai Tai 's are crazy good! Let the party begin!! ;)

Its good for having it next to our hotel . Polynesian cultural center is better though. reserve early to get first pick on seats for deluxe package .

Seriously messed up... Crazy lines for everything. The simple act of getting a drink, the luau staple, meant waiting 30 minutes. They are woefully unprepared for the size of the crowds they let in.

It's worth it to pay a little more money for first dibs on the buffet , extra drinks and better seating.

A pricier luau but worth it!

Awesome experience. But does anyone know there recipe for the tropical itch drink?

Everything it was amazing

At the pearl coral hut is a bunch of great jewelry at a reasonable price

You should have the Deluxe everything is included pictures, drinks, souvenir, nice seats.

I used to work here. Lava flows is okay but ask for the Banana Mac. I was a bartender here so I should know!!

Make a reaervation on advance. No need to buy expensive package .

Greatest luau spot ever

The spirit of Hawaii

Great entertainment!

Don't expect to enjoy entertainment if you want to have adult beverages .

Get the tropical itch . Well worth the scratch.

Commercialized tourist trap. 2 good parts...fire guy and hula dancers. Other than that, 80 bucks better spent else where.

The best Luau on the Island

Nickel and dime you like crazy - beware - show is good though

Beautiful sunset ! Very nice ambiance!

Fried chicken and pulled pork . That's all you need from this place. Otherwise, this place is a tourist trap

The drink lines take up to much of your time!

Drinks are really expensive . Otherwise everything else was good.

Don't get here before 6:30pm. Not that much to do before the show

Expect a good show with a mediocre dinner .

Great show! Food ok. Not much available if you are a vegetarian .

so good but you have to do the deluxe package ..no other way to see it.
