Great place. Restaurant could do better
Gina R on Jun 03, 2026
Excellent hotel. Great location. Very attentive staff. Clean rooms. Restaurant right on the shore- eat while watching the waves. Only comment: restaurant lunch and dinner options could be more. The food could be better.

The view from our balcony is amazing. Staff from the gift shop, grounds and housekeeping are very accommodating. That’s all I can say. I don’t think the facilities provided what they say they will provide. There is only a lagoon and small pool for all the guest. There was a snag in our reservation we need an ADA ROOM. But,don’t use Expedia. Use trip advisor or something else.

This old world charm hotel is in the perfect Kona location on the water and in town. It has a wonderful parking system for your car . Breakfast on the shore carved restaurant to start your day . Hugo’s on the rocks for lunch after a pool dip . The soothing sound of the surf to ease you into dreamland only to awake to one . The Royal Kona is on a comeback . And you should too !
