  • I was blown away by this event!

    Everything from the organization to food and the performance itself was outstanding.  I arrived early and sat in the hotel bar which was also a great experience. My server Jennifer was also very nice and professional. Would definitely recommend this experience to someone else.

  • Great visit

    I recently visited the Catamaran (including the new restaurant) with my wife, kids, and siblings. We enjoyed dinner and the Luau after. Dave Hopper, who works at the Catamaran, treated us like royalty. Everyone enjoyed it!

  • A fantastic night at the summer luau

    As soon as we stepped onto the garden, we felt like we were in Hawaii! The food was great and entertainment was non stop. I would highly recommend attending the luaus for a fun summer night.

  • The sunset luaus at the Catamaran are absolutely fantastic

    The performers were flawless and the food was excellent. The luau takes visitors through a journey of the Polynesian Islands traditions and dances, complete with a fire-dancing grand finale.
