Takes place on the roof of the Hilton Hawaiian conference centre (not particularly picturesque so loses a star) Food plentiful and ok but not up there with the best (loses another star) Entertainment was excllent - traditional war dances, Hula girls and fire sticks. Is a little expensive for what you get but it is an experience. I'm glad we... More

I have attended several luau's over the years. This year I was at the Hilton with my daughter and her family and they wanted to do the luau. I would NEVER do it again. It was on the top floor of the garage (little to no ambiance). On the plus side.. the food was not bad and it was absolute... More

The evening is lots of fun. The food is a little average but the entertainers make up for that as they perform dances and songs from the islands of the Pacific. They made sure that the night was fun for all ages and everyone seemed to be having a good time. The fire dance at the end of the show... More

We are staying here at HHV and saw this show last night. It rained....a lot! They did give us beach towels to keep us somewhat dry and that helped but many people did leave before the show. I expected more before show entertainment, kinda dull. No live music during dinner! Food was mediocre at best. I had hoped for a... More

The entertainment was great to watch. The host, the dancers and musicians were excellent, talented and of course 'easy on the eyes'. They gave a memorable show. The buffet was ok, just don't expect too much and be patient for the line-up. The service was truly non-existent. We only got grunts and less than hospitable responses from our waiter. There... More

we went to the starlight luau an were amazed. the whole night was entertainment at its finest. we chose the golden circle and it was worth it, we were greeted with shellnecklaces and flowers and sat right by the stage. there were so many different activities linked to the polynesian culture and everybody could take part in them. before dinner...

All the other reviews pretty much describe it. Don't waste your money. This is not a luau. The food was awful. Service awful. Luau manager awful and could care less. Couldn't get a drink. The food was just terrible! And to top it off it was myself and my toddler son and they sat us at a table of ALL... More

Went to this luau despite the poor reviews as we were staying in the Hilton Hawaiian Village and it was convenient for the kids...so low expectations, right? Tripadvisor reviews were sooooo wrong! The food was very good for a buffet, with a seperate line for the keiki (kids) and local produce highlighted in the salads (yummy & good for the... More

This is not worth the $89 or $99 per person. Instead, I would suggest you go to the Polynesian Cultural Center and watch the Canoe Pageant (free with your paid admission of $49.99). All of the dances at the Starlight Luau are part of the Pageant (and more at the Pageant). We got to the Starlight Luau late because we... More
