Traveler reviews
Disappointed Luau
I was a little disappointed, I went to Paradise Cove Luau about 10 years ago and had a great time. If they were still open I would have gone back to that one. So I am comparing Chiefs to Paradise Cove. Some of the things that disappointed me about Chief's was there were no activities before the dinner and show, no alcohol. Paradise had a full bar and our free drinks were any drinks from the bar. Paradise also cooked the pig in the ground and had the ceremony when it was removed. Chief's food was just catered and was ok at best.
A great night
100% Hawaiian family entertainment. The live music and dance was excellent. The buffet was good. The Chief recognized birthdays,wedding anniversaries, veterans and included audience In the show. Several Pacific islands were recognized with their music and dance. One con is the water park bathrooms which are dark. Dancers are skilled with fire and ice, using weapons and poles. Our bus driver, Lisa,was funny,informative and made us feel like family. We learned a lot about Hawaii with her talk during the ride from the cruise port.
The show is fabulous but ...
The show is fabulous but Guests know that it is a buffet dinner. The dinner was very average with very small paper plates .I was expecting great food to match the traditional experience.
Disappointed
They changed the location. There is no roasting of the pig in the pig coming out the ground the view that I saw from the previous referral showed that the ocean view and the cats just was overwhelming with cats, and it was at a waterpark. The actual set up wasn’t bad, but the fact that you had to walk away so far for your food just wasn’t and then the bar was far away, so the experience wasn’t what I expected for the price that I paid.
Great Show, Poor Location and Food
The performance itself was amazing and truly the highlight of the evening. Unfortunately, the overall experience was disappointing because of the food and the location. The luau was held at what appeared to be an old golf land/water park, which was not at all what I expected for the price of the tickets. There were also stray cats roaming throughout the area, which took away from the overall atmosphere and made the setting feel less enjoyable. While the entertainment was excellent, the food and venue did not meet my expectations. Knowing what the location and overall setting were like beforehand, I honestly would not have purchased the tickets.
