Well we didn t stay at the Hyatt but I wanted to leave a review on the luau that we did there.
But first I ll start by giving my first impression on the resort. It s over rated. Not very authentic. Very touristy, so I suppose it s good for those who don t like experiencing the real Hawaiian culture.
Went to the bar at their out door pool before the luau. $25 for 1 small beer and a skinny margarita... that s before tip. They ignored us for a good 10 minutes while they chit chatted upon each other.
Anyways, on to the luau
The only reason we agreed to pay $130 for a 3 hr show was the website stated all you can eat, all you can drink!
Which I was PISSED to find out they shut down the bar AND the buffet before the show even starts!
Last time I checked that s defiantly not all you can eat, all you can drink. I was still very thirsty.
You can t even taste the alcohol in the drinks unless you paid $30 to upgrade to top shelf alcohol.
But even then it wasn t worth 1 hr of free drinks.
I didn t even get a good buzz going before the show.
The show it s self was ok.
They were good at what they did but they could have gone into more detail of their history?
Seemed very shortened.
I ended up googling a lot about their history because I was still very curious.

The only reason I didn t make a deal to the workers was because it was my friends birthday and I didn t want to be that person
Over all my opinion is, it s a tourist trap.
Ask locals if there s any better ones.
Hopefully they will actually help you out.
