Everything I hoped for and more!

The Royal Kona Resort is stylish and beautiful! The staff is amazing, sweet and kind as well as helpful! I loved my stay. The restaurant view is breathtaking and the food is delicious. The resort had everything I had wished for and more. It’s close to everything you would need and there are lots of great shops and things to do steps away.
Great Location, But Needs Work
James H (Morgan Hill, California) on Oct 04, 2024
Our stay was disappointing. The hotel is in a wonderful location, just south of "downtown" on Ali'i Drive. The grounds are beautiful. But the stay was disappointing. * Check in was disorganized, took longer than it should, and unfriendly. * All other interactions with front desk were curt, other than checkout. No hello, please or thank-you. * The room was noisy. We were next to a noisy, clanking elevator. And there was jack-hammering and constuction noise during the day. * Our room was sadly in need of a face-lift. Carpet was worn, exposing pointy carpet tacks. The bathroom, particularly the shower, was sad. * And the "free" Mai Tai coupons given at check-in can only be used for a substandard version not on the menu.
