We enjoyed the Royal Lahaina Luau in the Kaanapali area. I thought I wouldn't be able to stand another luau but this one was a cut above the others. The food was better and the entertainment more interesting. They gave my Mom and Dad each a real flower lei for being the couple married the longest. The leis were spectacular. The drinks were not very strong but that was okay with us since we aren't really drinkers.

Old Lahaina Luau is the place to go without a doubt. Make sure you get tickets well in advance if you want a seat. http://www.oldlahainaluau.com.

We have not been to the Old Lahaina Luau but we have been to the Feast at LeLe. It was spectacular!!! There was entertainment from the Cook Islands,
Samoa, Tahiti and a couple of other places. There was also food from those places. There is a web site feastoflele dot com It was worth every penny that we paid.

I posted this as a reply to another message:
Last Sunday we were at the OLL and I have to say that I was really disappointed. Two years ago, I was at the Grand Wailea with my company celebrating a large patent infringement settlemement and we had a private luau that was far more entertaining. I believe it was the same crew that does the Hyatt.
There are essentially two types of luaus....an authentic Hawaiian luau where there are mostly just hula. No fire, no painted faces, very little jumping/screaming. Then there is the luau that incorporates Tahitian, Samoan and Tonga which is far more my preference.
I saw how the younger kids and teenagers reacted to the OLL (snore.....yawn). You wouldn't be able to doze off at the other type.
It's simply a matter of preference. I plan on going to the Feast at LeLe in Lahaina on our next trip. Unless I want to nap at the OLL ;-)
