We arrived at the Ritz and asked for suggestions on which one to go to. Based on what we wanted (Imu, VIP, and open bar) she suggested the Hyatt's Luau show. Average priced so we were ok with it. I hadn't seen that option before and I'm hoping that I didn't make a mistake and should have gone with my research instead of this hotel concierge's suggestion.
The quality was "eh" and it did get better.
They let us eat right away after the host made a few announcements and the Imu was dug up and the Mai Tais kept coming even if they were watered down. The food was very good. Our seats were right up front. However, it was $20 for our picture. The dancers were great and the knife dancer was awesome. I didn't like that they had so many people and it felt more like an office barbecue. The dessert was a highlight too. We bought a hand carved turtle from the vendors just outside. But it was all located in a convention center hallway. Boo.
The evening turned out interesting when people were asked to the stage to participate in a dance lesson. They finished and pointed out a couple to earn the "King and Queen of the Luau" because of their awesome dancing skills. It actually turned out to be a way for the guy to propose to his girlfriend. They happen to be sitting at our picnic table with 20 of their other family members. Lucky us. They were loud and from something that reminded me of the Jersey Shore. It was cute but if Kevin proposed to me at a Luau, I would have shot him right there. Lucky for him, he already proposed earlier this year and did a fantastic proposal that I will never forgot. So thank goodness no pressure on this trip!
Anyways, here are some photos and videos. Enjoy!
