  • “It was a beautiful evening and a great show. The site at the Sheraton was spectacular. The food was superb and the spirit in the air was unforgettable. The actors were excellent. The men dancers were handsome and the ladies were beautiful. The dancing was polished and fun to see. Especially the fire twirling portion of the performance. It was one night I will never forget. AWESOME!”

  • “From the moment we got into line to enter the luau there were things happening all around us: free mai tais, making head pieces, making poi, opening and shredding coconut, a palm-tree climber and constant music with a terrific live combo. There was a buffet of appetizers, the main course as well as dessert selections. Dancers entertained us on stage all during our meal. Then they started the main program. The variety of the dancers, costumes and fire dancing were amazing to watch. We highly recommend this luau.”
