Marriott Ko Olina lays an egg by jettisoning Fia Fia

Any new reviews?

We are very sad to see Fia Fia go. It was a family tradition and we have wonderful memories of attending the luau with family members no longer with us. The chief was like extended family and mourned the passing of family with us.

Will be there in a few weeks. I'll report back if there is any news.

Can't imagine the new luau can match this:

We went to see him here.

He will perform five nights per week at the Sea Life Park.

I have a picture with him when he was a student at the university and worked at the Cultural Center in the 80's, I believe, and now here. He hasn't changed one little bit the way he entertains his audience. He is awarded the Honary Chief status and and he tells you about the culture of his country. We enjoyed the show and they pick you up at several Waikiki Hotels and bring you back. There is parking there if you have a car but not enough, maybe?

I think Fia Fia was fine but not nearly in the same league with the Old Lahaina Luau or the Feast at Lele. I realize those are on Maui and so not as direct a competitor.

I still like the evening show at the Polynesian Cultural Center the best of all but the Old Lahaina show is nice too. Each one is different.

We will be in Oahu in September and have already told several friends that they have to see the Fia Fia show at Ko Olina with us. Well, I guess this will require a change in plans but we definitely need to add our best wishes to Chief Sielu Avea and his family-the words "Fia Fia" have become part of our language when good things happen to us.

Maybe the chief and his troupe got tired of the commute? It's an hour+ commute each way for him from where he lives. Sea Life Park is a much easier commute for him.

The Paradise Cove Luau is also in Ko'Olina and for the longest time that's been considered one of if not the best luau on Oahu.

We still don't know the reason why Fia Fia left Ko'Olina. A lot of people were quick to blame Marriott and the resort, but it really could be as simple as you say.
