Review of Paradise Cove Luau

This is a must place to go see if you're in Oahu. ...

This is a must place to go see if you're in Oahu. I was recommended to come to this Luau or Germaine's. Germaine is known to have a party twist to their Luau than the classic, but I chose classic!

They have three different pricing for this classic luau. The Basic aka Hawaii ($86, seating at the wings), Intermediate aka Orchid ($116, seating at center), or Deluxe ($149, seating at front center). I would definitely recommend spending that extra money for their deluxe package. It is well worth it! I originally booked the basic package, but upgraded to the deluxe. I couldn't be happier!

The Deluxe package includes:
* Round Trip Transportation from Waikiki
* Fresh Flower Lei Greeting or Kukui Nut Lei Greeting upon Arrival
* Mai Tai Greeting Plus
Three (3) Premium Drink Tickets
* Deluxe Seating
* Hawaiian Luau Menu
* Table Service (Versus Buffet)
* Arts & Crafts Demonstrations
* Games of Skill and Daring in the Hawaiian Village
* Shower of Flowers
* Hukilau on the Beach
* Royal Court
* Imu Ceremony
* Paradise Cove Extravaganza
* Souvenir Arrival Photograph (One Per Person)
* Souvenir Gift from Paradise Cove

I would definitely recommend getting there when they are open because there are FULL of activities for you to do. I just wished I had more time because I did not get enough to do absolutely everything! If you would like to save a couple of bucks, you can always drive there yourself. BUT It wouldn't be a good idea to drive there personally, unless you're not drinking.

What's awesome about this place is that all the performers are mixed with the different activity going on from 5-7pm, so you actually get to meet almost everyone. If you wanna take extra pictures, this is a good time to do it!

The only thing I was disappointed is their food. It's decent, but not amazing. I would give their food only 3-stars for that. I to want also mention that I had pay extra $3 with my premium ticket when I ordered my lovely Pina Colada. You would think premium drink tickets would include absolutely everything, but nope!

Minus that little mishap, I still had a fabulous time here!
