“The food was so-so. The chicken was great but the beef was tough and the pork was dry. The entertainment was great, but should sign up as early as possible so you can sit closer to the stage and in the middle.”

Review the Waikiki Rock-A-Hula show, buffet, music, fire dancing, value, drawbacks, seating, and who should book this evening out.
“If you’re looking for something traditional that will highlight the culture and tradition of hula, this is not it. This is more of a pop/rock and roll show that mainly focuses on Elvis. Respectfully, I found the show to be below subpar and we left halfway into the show. I couldn’t sit there and watch it any longer.”
Review of Oahu’s Magical Mystery Show at Hilton Waikiki Beach, with intimate magic, Hawaiian history, cocktails, parking, and VIP tips.
“I’m a bit of a skeptic when it comes to magic, but this was a fun show. The banter really elevated the magic beyond what you might see at other shows and the small venue made it feel really personal. Great show. Would go again.”
Enjoy a Waikiki luau buffet with roasted pig, hula, a Mai Tai, and optional Rock-A-Hula performances featuring fire dancing, Elvis, and Michael Jackson.
“Il be very honest.. the show its self was great! i actually loved it! Elvis and MJ where fantastic, the Island music was beautiful as well. the food isnt worth the money, you only get one plate of food that you need to wait almost a hour to go yet, then they shove dessert down your throat and then u wait another 30 min for ppl to sit for the show... i would pay to c the show.. still over priced for a show thats just over a hour.. but not the buffet”
