“ What a gorgeous setting - the photos you'll walk away from with the Hulu dancers and musicians framed between swaying palm trees, an unreal sunset and the whoosh of approach waves hitting the shoreline all set under a mesmerizing live performance of classic Hawaiian folk tunes - its all right there. That alone is worth the experience. The service is good and attentive and the unlimited bar is just icing on the cake. The food is very good although when I inquired about the experience and again when I registered with my hotel concierge, I was very specific that I had dietary restrictions (I'm pescatarian) and if I could be accommodated as most of the luau's are so focused on pig and beef and chicken. I was told my restrictions would not be an issue and then here comes the bento boxes which were pre portioned with each course (for style and efficiency) however that meant all the items mixed on one plate. The server wasn't very interested in helping me out so I picked around the edges. For that reason, I would not return so I do hope they're reading this to get it right as you can't assume that everyone eats pig, beef and chicken - not very inclusive. The desserts were sub par. The show and performance was perfect - not campy as some can get. Talented performers throughout a narrated experience - and again the setting just can't be outdone. Free validated valet is a nice plus as well. Pricing is on the higher side - I compare to a dinner and Broadway show which is around the same amount of time and its still priced well above that NYC experience so if that helps, not sure it makes sense. ”

“ Absolutely the best Lū'au I've been too. It's smaller, more intimate & authentic. The food is made at Andaz hotel and is modern take on traditional Hawaiian feast. It's a plated sampling menu, NOT A BUFFET; so your server brings you a Bento box for appetizers and a large main course plate where try a little of everything. 3 mini desserts were delicious. We have kids ages 5-13 and they were all satisfied & entertained. Enough space for the 5yr old to run around, and the 10yr old to copy the dancers. The service was excellent and the open bar was a huge plus. They have a photographer with free downloads of your family pics and the highlight was Hawaiian tattoo station where you can get traditional temporary ink. ”

“ So in Maui, We looked for our annual Easter Luau, settling on the Andaz again. Last few years was a nice experience and dinner. This year... wasn't too impressed with the 2nd course. Although, from the time we walked in, the valet young man with the cute mustache offered to take my elderly mother down so she wouldn't have to walk down the 4 staircases. Beautiful hotel I may add. We arrived and they checked is in promptly at 5. The staff was great! Gave us our lai's and welcome drink which were delicious! The gal seated us, and off to the real drinks.. they had a photographer to take our pictures, as many as we wanted.. They also had a tattoo area for a temporary or a permanent one. We went back to our seats and it was rather windy and cool, my guy asked our waiter Steven if my mom and I could have a towel to wrap our shoulders, who would gave thought it was gonna be cool? Steven accommodated, nice and warm from the drier. On to the meal, the first course in a bento box was delicious, a shrimp something, a little salad, Ahi tuna which melted in your mouth, and grilled pineapple with Li Hing Mui vinaigrette, an awakening in your mouth. The 2nd course they had Mahi Mahi which was dry as well as the chicken and Kaluha Pork was so salty, which I wasn't a fan. The short rib and purple sweet potato were good, and dessert. All in all, everything was good. The Atmosphere, staff/service and setting were great. Even the young man came back for my mom to drive her back up. Us?? Nah, we had to walk off the food.. ”

“ We attended the Andaz Resort's Feast at Makapu Luau and absolutely loved it! Tables were set up on the lawn with a great view of the beach, and we had front-row seats to the stage. Before the actual luau began, we were treated to temporary Hawaiian tattoos and photographs with the beautiful ocean background. The dinner - with outstanding server Steven - featured a wide variety of traditional food, such as ahi poke, pa'i 'ai, shrimp & pohole, grilled Maui gold pineapple and pua'a kālua, along with braised beef short rib, jasmine rice and pineapple upside down cake. The magnificent show included historical stories of the island, Hawaiian music, hula dances and incredible fire dancers - all adding up to a beautiful night we'll always remember. ”

“ Perfect evening! This is the second luau I have attended on Maui.The first one was a very "Grand" event. This one is more my taste. I appreciated the smaller audience size as well as the private table. Our party of 6 had plenty of room and freedom to converse as we pleased. I loved the lack of a buffet. More time to just sit and enjoy the open bar and lovely scenery. Our waitress was excellent and attentive. The kukui nut lei is a nice keepsake! Food was plated, with smallish portions of each item. The beef and salad were standouts, as were all 3 desserts. Beautiful dancing. Music that wasn't too loud. No gimmicks! No vendors! Just relaxation and enjoyment. Free photo shoot too! Valet parking only. Book with confidence. ”

“ Performance- 5 stars, food - 3.5 stars. I give this luau 5 stars based on the show/ performance! The performance is absolutely spectacular with sunset in background! Fire show included!! We learned about the history of hawaii and immersed in a great experience. We were greeted with seashell lei, drinks, had a couple stations for tattoos and stamping. Thought all of this was so cool! Andaz hotel is so stunning so come early before start of luau to take amazing pictures. The package also comes with professional photo free to download. Parking is included with valet. Oh and of course, unlimited drinks! I do have to comment on the food. I would unfortunately give food 3.5 stars. Although it was mixture of hawaiian food, I thought the main meal portion - meats/ fish were dry. Food came out a bit cold too. We were however full at the end because if unlimited drinks plus the 3 course menu. Drinks were decent. Overall, I do recommend this luau for the at remarkable performance! ”

“ My wife and I have each been to several luaus. Both on Maui and Oahu. This by far was an upscale, and enjoyable experience. We picked the classic seating and still received plated dinner service. We both have food allergies (gluten, dairy, and eggs), and with the plated dinners we were easily accommodated. The food was really good, and gave you a wide selection of Hawaiian food. The entertainment was great, open bar was nice, and the complementary pictures were appreciated. Only bummer was the weather pushed us into a ballroom instead of the normal venue. Luckily, the weather cleared up enough for us to experience the fire dancing outside (which was very very good!). This luau set the bar high and we definitely want to come back. ”
