Absolutely amazing experience! 100% recommend if you are over in Maui on vacation. The food is incredible and the performance really is magical. The story’s of ancient people being played out in song and dance is just phenomenal. Such an incredible experience to partake and share in.

I’ve been to 3 different Maui luaus over the years. This was the most upscale setting, the show had a great storyline, the crowd was involved, the dancing and show was top tier. Their food was the best by far, we tried a little of everything and all of it was outstanding. Absolutely 5 stars.

We have been to multiple Luau’s on thr islands over the years, this one was hands down the best! The check-in was easy, the vendors had beautiful items for sale, the food was AMAZING, the show was first rate. We will be back.

This was an incredible night! We booked 2 months in advance and got premium seating. It was only $40 more a person and definitely worth it. We had a server and she came often to ask if we needed anything. The bar at the back had drinks made and ready for you to grab, or you could ask the bartender to make you a drink. The food was delicious. Very high quality and a variety of options. The entertainment for the night was amazing. The dancers did a great job, I loved hearing the host narrate, and the fire show at the end was very well done. If someone has a bad review because of where they sat, seating is based on the time you booked so if you wait until last minute, expect to sit in the back.

Not a great experience if I’m completely honest, the food was good (not great) the fire dancers were very good at their jobs, but the whole organization of the event was awful. It started at 5:30 on paper, but nothing happened till at least 6:30, so if you’re running late don’t worry. The actual show only lasts maybe an hour, The drinks were all included, but were all well garbage. There are multiple vendors set up to sell you stuff that you could buy in any surf shop on the island, but for triple the price (The hotel makes a large cut) Our server was inattentive and only came by a couple of times during the whole dinner. We paid for the “Premium” experience, but I wouldn’t recommend doing that, there was 0 advantage to it, we all got the same lays and there was no priority seating. We had valeted our car to save time, when we finished and went to the valet kiosk to get the car, they referred us back inside to the front desk to pay, we then had to wait in line for the one clerk who was checking guests in to get around to us. Online it says Valet parking is $42, the Valet said it was $50 and then the front desk agent said it was $52.80. The Westin really needs to get its act together, for 2 people we paid $600 including the valet for a “Premium” Luau experience, I left frustrated with the lack of organization, I would recommend taking your business elsewhere! I feel legitimately robbed.

Tip: Park at the Whalers Village, buy something at one of the shops (e.g. IT’SUGAR $15 for 2 hours) and then walk next door for the luau. Beautiful hotel right next to the beach.

My wife and I have attended a lot of Luaus! Our first Luau was in September 1990. We have attended and enjoyed the food at many. The entertainment and band was outstanding! The food was tremendous. I highly recommend the Westin Luau to anyone.

The performances and performers were SO talented! They are talented at their craft and it shows! The buffet was lovely. The wait staff while being short staffed still did a great job trying to attend to the needs of everyone they had in their sections. I would recommend splurging for the premium seating. It got us seated faster and got us to the buffet line quicker. Parking was easy if you are driving from a different location we parked in the self park parking garage and had the parking validated when we got there which made it free on the way out. There was a market to shop if you wanted to do that and the sunset on the beach was absolutely stunning.

This luau was outstanding! While the price may seem high, it was well worth it. The food was incredible and the pig (pork) was the best I have ever eaten. Service was on point as our server was attentive to our needs. And the show was amazing. We learned a lot about the Hawaiian culture and were incredibly entertained by the singing and dancing. Great night that everyone who visits must experience!
