Spirit of Aloha Polynesian Luau

The Spirit of Aloha Polynesian Luau at the Polynesian resort is a nighttime dinner show. We wanted to try it out, so we checked with Guest Services our first couple mornings to try and grab someone else's cancellation. Lo and behold, we lucked up, the right number of people and everything.

I don't know if they assign your table as you make your reservation, or what, but we did have an assigned table, and when we got there, we were shown to the very back, far left of the stage. I was majorly disappointed. Our view was very obstructed. I would have liked to have complained, but I was with some friends and didn't want to make a huge deal, but I could tell we were all surprised.

The food was pretty good, you can see a full menu here. I will say that the food gets cold quickly because you are dining outside, usually with a breeze. The pineapple bread is addictive :-)

The show is mostly traditional hula dancing and song from the different Polynesian islands. If you are expecting a lot of fire twirling, you will not see it. There are two fire twirling routines, back to back, at the very end of the show, maybe a total of 10 minutes.

If you really want to see this, make sure you are clear with the reservations person on where you want to sit.
