Traveler reviews
Thoroughly enjoyed!
Not exactly as anticipated, but very pleasantly surprised! I wanted a luau to round out our Hawaiian adventure, but also wanted a VIP experience and not get caughy up in crowds. The Green Room option at Rock a Hulu fit the bill! Backstage tour and photos, champagne, behind the scenes backstories made the dinner and show next level. Becky was fantastic and made us feel welcome and special. The food was surprisingly good. The dancers and servers at dinner were so pleasant and added to the enjoyment. The show was a nice mix of traditional Hawaiian, Elvis, MJ and capped off with the fire twirler! The dance company and singers were very talented as well. Is it something I’d do again and again? No. But, I’d absolutely make the same decision to go see it. Splurge for the Green Room option…worth the extras! Oh, and the orchid leis. Beautiful!
Rock A Hula fun!
The dinner and show was great! Dinner buffet was delightful. The show kept us moving in our seats. We enjoyed ourselves completely.
Show, NOT a Luau
If you are going for the show, then it's great, but don't think luau for the dinner. The food was just ok (no kid-friendly options). The dancing/singing in the luau is very minimal and just average as you can barely hear the music. If you won't a traditional luau experience I would not recommend this. The actual Rock-a-hula show however was pretty good for a show.
Rockin' Aloha
Food was delicious, and tried multiple cocktails that were offered. The show after the meal was better than expected. Would be going again next time we visit
Great show, poor waitstaff service!
Food was good, show was a usual experience pairing Hawaiian history with American Musical eras. The performers were amazing, lovely singers especially with Elvis and Michael Jackson impersonators as well as the two lead lady singers who also doubled as narrators. The only negative was the waitstaff. The staff was inattentive and you can tell they don’t take pride in their work. Overall poor service from them, skip the food to avoid the waitstaff.
