I have been to all three and agree with you about the Polynesian Cultural Center. It was ok, but nothing special. However, the property is beautiful. At Germaine's Luau there wasn't anything extra to do and it felt VERY rushed both times I was there. At the Paradise Cove Luau they have games and other activities as well as plenty of time to walk around and have a couple drinks before the luau starts.

The best luaus are when you make friends and become a part of the community and someone has a baby or has there 1st year birthday, these are the best luaus. Old School all da way.

Things have changed.

I agree and I have been to many. However, the OP is asking about a luau that a normal tourist can go to.

MCB KBay has a great commissary. I think you should visit a different beach every day. We enjoyed sitting on the beach at night, too. Ko Olina beach is very kid friendly.

I started to download the app "DA BUS" to my Android, but, it says that it can access your files such as your calandar, photos, and a lot more. Kind of scary what it can do. Anyone know anything about it? Thoughts on it's install and use? Other ideas or app's? Thanks guys.

I have never found any app that doesn't access something. Im no expert but i believe its all stats relatted? Ive never had any issues myself. But yeah it is kinda scary when you think about it. Why would any app need access to something they not relatted to? Anyway the good thing is you can use it, know its there when you need it and then you can uninstall it.

It is a terrible app. Just go to the website on your phone.

+1, if you don't need an app that touches all your other personal info, don't use it.

It's very good that you are at least questioning before clicking ok. Most people don't.
