Fantastic Luau

This property is a true find. It was like a little Hawaii. The luau was fantastic. Afternoon lemonade and pineapple blondie was a fun treat. Location was amazing, close to ocean, board walk, and great restaurants. Loved our stay here!

Took me back to my childhood in Hawaii

Amazing! I went for their summer luau. It took me back to my childhood in Hawaii just like that! We were celebrating a friend's birthday. We all had so much fun! The food was great. The show was great! The view was great!

My kids and I recently attended the Sunset Luau and it was truly awesome. The food was delicious, and Hop was great! The show was really entertaining as well. This will definitely be a new tradition for our family. Thank you for a great experience.

Best Luau

Beautiful location, near everything. Friendly, customer service oriented staff and an amazing restaurant - Oceana Coastal Kitchen! The Spa is a must for the most relaxing experience. Best Luau and comfortable rooms.
