The luau featured a Polynesian revue that amazed us with its fire-knife dancing, hula performances, and Tahitian drumming ( believe it was Tahitian?) Every act was visually stunning and incredibly entertaining, but the highlight of the show was the fire dancer going nuts!

First off, our hearts go out to the many affected by the fires currently raging in Maui. I hope you get it under control and the island returns to a version of normal sometime soon. In the meantime, everyone that is not on the island should donate to Maui Food Bank.
The staff at Wailea Marriott went above and beyond to make sure we had a fantastic time. They paid attention to every detail – from making sure our drinks were always filled, to asking if we needed anything. Everyone at our tabe had a great time, and we made a few new friends. it’s definitely worth checking out if you’re ever in Maui.

The atmosphere was warm (both literally and figuratively) and festive, with beautiful Hawaiian music played by the live band as we enjoyed yummy local food. We had a blast!

I’m a big boy, so when they brought out 3 courses family-style, I was worried it wouldn’t be quite enough. It was a lot of food, but I asked the waiter if we could get more if we finish anything, and he said yes. Turns out I didn’t need to ask, since it was plenty of food. So for those of you that require more calories, have no fear on this dinner.

Everything was above our expectations, and though the Wailea Marriott staff couldn’t plan a good sunset, we got an amazing one! Not sure if they do this every night, but they took a break so we could shoot some photos during sunset. Maybe it was because ours was so good that night? I don’t know, but I was grateful. I would recommend this to anyone visiting Maui.

The poi was not to my liking. The rest of the food was very good. What made it a win for me was the incredible show and music. It lulled me right into a very happy and relaxed state. A place I needed to be after not having had a vacation for a VERY LONG TIME. But the poi was odd. Do people actually like it? I don’t get it.
Giancarlo –
You’ve improved the grounds since we last went to your luau. Everything was new and beautiful. Glad to see it!
Jacqueline Decker –
I highly recommend your luau. We had a spectacular time with you. Mahalo!

Jeff was not into it at first. He ended up really enjoying it once we got food in him. Hangry husband makes things hard. But I loved it!

I’m ready for another night, but you’re all sold out.

I haven’t been since 2014ish on my first trip. They changed the grounds quite a bit with new construction, grass, etc… It was nice back then but it’s so much nicer now. It’s was a perfect luau experience. I recommend anyone to go to the Marriott Luau! It was a blast!

I love to dance, so this was right up my alley. There was plenty of room along the side of the tables and in different areas near the band and show to dance. My table were the rockstars of the audience, yup. I think we gave everyone an extra dose of what is referred to as “aloha” by having more fun than anyone. We tried our hand at hula too! Didn’t think I’d have so much fun, but Maui luaus are now on my to do list when visiting. I hope I can come back again in the next few years.
F. Ansari –
Thank you for a wonderful night! I’ve been meaning to share my experience with you since last winter, but better late than never. I hope you’re all getting along well and enjoy your empty beaches. Aloha

We went again to this luau because the price is right and it’s never let us down. I was impressed with how much work they’ve done to the luau grounds! Everything is new! Beautiful new stage area, grass, tables, and I think the costumes are new too. The food was great as always and the service ROCKED! Thanks so much and we’ll be back again next time.
Maui Hawaii –
SO GLAD YOU ENJOYED IT! We went to Te Au Moana recently too, and the grounds are truly impressive. The staff were really friendly and fun too. Mahalo for booking your Maui luau with us!
Elizabeth E. –
Love the Marriott Luau In Wailea. Well organized. Parking lot available for guest, walking to the beautiful grounds with the ocean on the side, a welcome fresh flower Lea, escorted to your table, to the delicious buffet & the Hawaiian entertainment. Aloha with ❤️🌺
Papio –
I’ve been to this one before, and they must have redone the grounds. It was even better this time!
George H. –
Great luau! I’ve been to this luau each year visiting Maui (this is my 5th time in 6 years.) It’s AWESOME! I love the food, the show and the service. My wife and I stay at the Marriott cause we have the rewards card, so it’s really easy for us. I know there are other luaus, but why go to a new one if this one is so good? Jess bought some beautiful handcrafted art too. Our hearts are in Maui and that’s where they’ll stay until we move there eventually for retirement. Thank you for a great luau!

We had the best time! So convenient too, since we were staying at the Marriott. Great food, fun show, perfect sunset. Just what we needed to unwind before our week trip. Mahalo!
