Luau

On Friday night we had reservations for the Royal Kona Hotel’s Voyagers of the Pacific Luau.  Most of the luau's that we looked at seem to have a lot in common: Polynesian dancing that tells a story, fire-knife dancing, Hawaiian and island food from an all you can eat buffet, and an amazing location with sunset. We chose this particular one because reviews seem to indicate it might be a little more kid friendly, it was close to our hotel (on our second day on the island jet lag might be catching up with us) and since each hotel's luaus are only offered certain days of the week, this one matched up with our schedule.  Before we arrived, Sofia couldn't help noticing that are that the hotel where the luau was being held looked like a cruise ship.

The jet lag was starting to kick in.  It looked like Sofia was going to fall asleep in the car.  She got her second wind as soon as we sat down and they brought her a kid-friendly adult drink.  Can't remember what it was called. Some kind of sunrise. 

We had a private table really close to the stage and the setting was truly amazing right on the ocean with waves crashing on the rocks in the background and the sun setting as the backdrop.

This particular luau, through dance, told stories of how the Polynesians set out to discover the islands of the Pacific.  Food was really good, The entertainment absolutely kept our attention and kept Sofia interested. The servers were amazing.  The food area was kept clean and well stocked and our server seemed to be running back and forth constantly bringing us fresh drinks or bottles of water.  It was a great evening!
