My husband and I enjoyed our stay very much! The whole staff was extremely friendly. The food at the restaurant was amazing and you have a great view of the sunset from the pool or dining area. I’d happily recommend it!

We had a great time st this resort! The bed in the room was so comfortable, and we were lulled to sleep every night by waves right outside our window. We had breakfast and a dinner at the on-site restaurant and both meals were delicious. The sitting area close to check-in was so peaceful to sit in one afternoon and read a book with Koi swimming nearby and the ocean in view. We took advantage of the yoga class one morning as well and that was a nice bonus. This was our first visit to the big island and we feel lucky that we found a great place to stay!

Amazing location, ample parking, walkable to downtown shops, and restaurants. Beautiful ocean views and nice restaurant on site. Rooms are clean and comfortable. Only complaint is the (damn) birds making noise at night from the giant trees inside the hotel - but some people like that I guess.

I took a mother-daughtrr trip with my teenager to Hawaii. Upon arrival we were given an amazing top floor room with beautiful views of the ocean & sunsets. I could hear ocean waves crashing upon the shore every evening. The luau had traditionally cooked Hawaiian food, hula dancers, story telling and fire dancing. The staff at the Royal Kona are friendly and nice. Our waiter at the luau was thoughtful enough to bring us some Shirley Temples while we ate which I thought was a nice gesture towards someone who brought their teenager. I t's my second visit to The Royal Kona & I would highly recommend. It's close to Kona town and walking distance to many places.

Great location, friendly staff, beautiful view, nice beach bar… will definitely stay at Royal Kona Resort again!
