Very nice resort

R4727SDjoshuah on Apr 21, 2024

We just returned from 6 nights at the Royal Kona in a corner king room. It has a lot going for it. We enjoyed our stay and would stay here again. The room was large and well appointed. The corner balcony was silly large. Honestly, we never used the other half around the corner. It does get you 2 walls worth of windows which are gorgeous. The rooms are a bit dated and they appear to be remodeling parts of the hotel now. Everything was clean and functional. Hearing the surf break on the rocks while you sleep is awesome. Parking is $25/day but very convenient. You couldn't ask for a better location for walking to dining options and quick drives to most of the things you want to see in Kona. The hotel bar and grill was nice for a quick bite after a long day of travel getting there. The food was good, but not spectacular. The coupon for 2 free Mai Tais was a nice touch. Overall a very good experience. An ice machine on each floor would be nice, but the filtered water machine makes up for it.

Nice place to stay but would be better with updates.

We stayed at The Royal Kona for 2 nights. They have 2 things going for them, the staff and the outdoor dining/bar area. The rooms need to be updated but are very clean. The pool area is small but we had no problem getting loungers. We think this resort is middle of the road-not bad but not awesome either.
