No good laua

Ruben_L, Apr 2026

Not to waste there money the buffet dinner I could gone to good restaurant for $200 I paid and not to see the show how you going to charge that much and not show the culture no cool.

Great Time!

Ghislaine_B, Apr 2026

So much fun! The food was great and so was the show. Get the VIP for the extras. Would definitely recommend.

Great for everyone in the family!

Laura_B, Apr 2026

Amazing! Must see show! Our family of 7 enjoyed the experience. We started with VIP check in & lei greeting. The buffet was delicious & lots of variety. Our kids loved the desserts especially ice cream with lots of toppings! The hula lessons were a hit! After the dinner, we were walked to our VIP section, prime seating with perfect view. The entertainment is amazing & so much talent! We sang along to every song! Great interaction with the crowd. We are a multigenerational family, age 5 to 75, & we all enjoyed the show very much!

A must see!!!

Samantha_T, Apr 2026

What can I say! From the welcome drink to the exit this experience was absolutely brilliant! Staff members were excellent, the host kept things moving and organised, the hula dancers kept on dancing!! Food was also amazing and there was plenty of it! Then on with the show. Elvis was brilliant and so was Michael Jackson, then the fire show! Singing and dancing throughout! Just absolutely brilliant! A must see!!!

Not a traditional luau

Jessica_L, Apr 2026

The buffet had a variety of food and was very tasty. I was not aware this wasn't a traditional luau, it's primarily a tribute to Elvis and Michael Jackson with a few traditional luau elements added in. It wasn't my preference, but to others they may enjoy that type of show.

Great show!

Aimee_C, Apr 2026

Luau food was excellent. The show was also excellent and organized. All the performers, including Elvis and Michael Jackson were very professional. The most enjoyable 1.5 hrs of continuous entertainment. They should go on tour, so I could see them again in Pennsylvania. Great show!!!!

Something for everyone.

Ronnette_R, Apr 2026

Food not so good, but entertainment pretty good.

Jon_K, Apr 2026

Food not all that great. Entertainment, especially Elvis and the fire twirling guy were really good.

Not traditional luau but still great!

Lila_D, Apr 2026

The food was delicious (even though you see the roasting of the pig in the ground). Dinner was long could’ve had more live music. Best part was rock-a-hula performance which was fantastic!

Awesome experience

Joseph_B, Apr 2026

Full and entertained

Vanessa_G, Apr 2026

The buffet had a good selection and the show was great! Very entertaining and was a great evening event for New Year’s Eve. Glad we did it.

Food was great, wait...

Shannon_P, Apr 2026

Food was great, wait staff was great. Dinner entertainment was great. Did not realize the show was a Michael Jackson ans Elvis Tribute. We were hoping for a Luau experience.

Outstanding

Wallace_M, Apr 2026

Loved it. I would recommend this to anyone,especially a first time visitor. The food was great and the show was entertaining and informative

Impressive

Simone_N, Mar 2026

Phenomenal show. Performance was so well choreographed and organized. Great performers. Ton of food. VIP was worth it.

Great Show.

Jeff_R, Mar 2026

This is a covered venue if there is rain. This show was wonderful. Great experience. The Elvis & Michael Jackson impersonators were really entertaining. The fire dancers were excellent. We had such a good time. As far as the buffet, it was ok. You just need to try a little bit of everything . We ended up parking in the Royal Hawaiian parking lot for the mall. It was cheaper. Make sure to take your parking ticket in with you so they can validate your ticket. It saves a little money. If you are within walking distance of the show, I suggest walking if it isn't raining. The people working there was great and helpful. They also did a beginners lesson on how to Hula

Entertaining

Vera_J, Mar 2026

Shea_B, Mar 2026

Words cannot describe how much fun this was!!! We did a Buffet, hula dance lessons and a show until the Luau started around 7:45pm and went until 9. The food, service and show were amazing.

David_W, Mar 2026

Great show if your not wanting a traditional luau. Great dancing and singing with Elvis and Michael Jackson. I recommend VIP tickets no waiting in line for food and seating is reserved.

Aloha from Start to Finish

Nicholas_O, Mar 2026

Our family greatly enjoyed the whole Rock A Hula experience. From the moment we stepped foot into the seating area for dinner to the end of the stage show we were treated as honored guests and received with smiles and great vibes. The dinner was delicious with something for everyone in our party from our picky 8 year old to foodies. The Rock A Hula show was fantastic and full of energy and hawaiian flare. The Elvis and Michael Jackson sections were wonderfully performed and the dancers were terrific in every stage of the show. We highly recommend checking it out if you want a great evening of food and entertainment.
