Any recommendations on a luau in the south Maui area? Are there any within walking distance of the Grand Wailea? I have read the many recommendations for the Old Lahaina Luau, which is still under consideration, but thought I would see what our other options are. We will be in Maui during Easter week. Thanks.

I know the Maui Prince has a luau.

Old Lahaina Luau
Feast of Lele

I have been to the luau at the Wailea Marriott as well as the Old Lahaina Luau. I liked them equally, and the food is equally mediocre at both. Supposedly the OLL is more "authentic", but I like the fire dancer at the Marriott. The setting is lovely, too, with the dancers backdropped by the ocean and the setting sun. I don't like the drive from Lahaina back to the South shore in the dark, so would try to find something closer to "home".

We enjoyed the Wailea Marriot luau - we didnt expect high end gourmet but food was OK, their fire-knife dancer was great and the setting is beautiful. We were staying in south Kihei and really enjoyed not driving back from Lahaina! The O.L.L. sells out a long way in advance so be sure to book very early. Feast of Lele was also recommeded, but as I recall has a slightly different format.

Not all luaus are offered every night - Maui Prince (check website, I seem to recall Sun, Tues and Thurs) and Wailea (Wed, Fri ?) were both recommended as good, and we picked the one that fit our other activities.

Thanks so much for the info. From what it looks like on the maps I've seen, the Marriott would be withing walking distance, but the Maui Prince would not - is this correct?
