We ended up going to the Royal Hawaiian Luau this past October when we were on Oahu as part of our honeymoon. This being our first luau, it is difficult to compare to the others mentioned but I'll give my thoughts. Is it touristy? Yes, but we enjoyed it. The food was OK...nothing great, but certainly not terrible either. And plenty of mai tais. The entertainment was very good. We talked with a number of locals while on Oahu and the overwhelming consensus was that the RH Luau was the one to go to. We got a great deal too, around $60 per person if I remember correctly. I think the regular rate is about $85. The special rate was available on the RH website and only for those staying at one of Starwood's Oahu properties. Look carefully on the site to see if the MINET rate is still available. There is an Internet rate available, but that is a few dollars more.
