The Marriott Luau is billed as "Wailea's Finest Luau." And yes, it is. If this is your first visit to Hawaii, you just have to go to a luau. The luau instills in you the aura of these Islands. As you watch the dancers you travel back in time and the Hawaii of old emerges in all it's simple glory.
The Marriott's food is great and the show wonderful. Not only that, but it costs a few dollars less than most others. Tips are included in the price also. I recommend the Marriott Luau to everyone staying on the South side.
