Our family really enjoyed the entire experience!! From the excellent food, to the musicians, hula dancers, and the fire dancers, we enjoyed the entire show!! As someone who was able to bring his family together for this trip after not being close for the last 2-3 years, the speech at the end about family, love, and the importance of those ideas in the Hawaiian culture, it was especially meaningful!! Thank you all!!!

These lagoons are so beautiful and create a spot for enjoying the the water in a safe place. Definitely good for families with children! There is a chapel at the first one, right beside the Disney Resort where sometimes you may catch a glimpse of a wedding party!! Akso, as you approach the lagoon ares, you will pass by the golf course and please look for the black swans in the water on the course!! Wonderful and unusual to see!!!

This was our 3rd visit to Aulani and the Laniwai Spa and it was really great. You can spend as much time as you like here enjoying the services/treatments along with the relaxation rooms, steam room, and water features area. The massage therapists are well-trained and thoughtful. We loved the lomi lomi signature massage. A bit on the expensive side, but you only live once.

We stayed at the Marriott Ko Olina (2nd time) and it is a sight to be seen; absolutely beautiful! Highly recommend, a bit off the beaten path (from downtown Honolulu) but worth the drive. Much quieter than downtown.

We tried Paradise Cove on a recommendation from friends. Our experience was awesome. We went with the mid grade package and it is all You need. You receive a gift card back with $16.00 on the card a complimentary Mai Tai. There are numerous activities to do before the meal and show starts, games, boating, shopping and the unveiling of the roasted pork from the pit. Meal was buffet style chicken, pork, rice, mixed veggies , salads and desserts,with plenty of options for all in your party. The performers provided an excellent show. All the staff was super friendly. Go and check it out, you will be glad that you did.

Fantastic luau...I mean it is Disney after all and they did not let us down. We attended this luau with 2 children, 2 adults, and 2 grandparents. You can choose either VIP or general admission. We choose general admission and honestly our seats were fabulous! We arrived 45minutes prior to seating and were the first ones in the general admission line. We were in the middle- both front to back and side to side. Performances take place both on the main stage and 3 mini stages in an isle. The food was great (for a luau). 2 members in our group had food restrictions and were easily addressed with food labels in front of each item. Several fun events for kids and adults alike. As I said above, the performance was excellent! Only down side is kids 10 and older are charged as an adult. Overall would rate Disney’s Luau an A.
