Royal Kona Resort
Big Island, Hawaii
3 stars
An established resort hotel, the Royal Kona is surrounding by 12 acres of tropical landscape, just steps from the sea. Its laid-back ambience ensures a relaxing stay with amenities such as an oceanfront swimming pool and a private swimming lagoon to tempt you. There are also tennis courts for those who’ve remembered to pack their whites and a fitness centre for keeping trim. A hot favourite we think will be the Mai Tai Bar, not only serving 10 types of Mai Tai’s but set in a spectacular location, against the backdrop of Kailua Bay. The Breezaway Lounge is also idyllic, with sofas and armchairs strategically placed to offer full ocean views. Grab yourself a seat, a Mai Tai (of course!) and admire dazzling sunsets night after night. At Don the Beachcomber, the dining is as sumptuous as the view, fusing Asian inspiration and European technique to create the most delightful of dishes. Not to be missed is the Lu’au — a feast of tropical delicacies, song and dance celebrating the legends and lore of Polynesia, the dramatic Fire Dance finale is breathtaking!

“Great stay - Recommend”
Jul 26, 2026billychristopher91
Resort is in an excellent location. Right next to Huggos on the rocks and a number of other great restaurants.
Rooms themselves are slightly dated, it’s an older building.
Pool is great, service is excellent and the food at the restaurant is good quality.
$25 a day service fee & $25 a day parking does add up but as long as your aware of this no issues.
Overall great location
“Definitely recommend”

We had a corner king with a fabulous ocean view. Our room was directly above the restaurant and bar; however we never heard anything. The restaurant and bar had excellent drinks and a great menu.
“Another beautiful and captivating experience.”

This is our second stay at the Royal Kona Resort. Our room had a great view, with one side overlooking the shore and the other facing the mountains. While we didn't have a full ocean view, it still worked for us. The USB charging system could use some improvements. The pricing was reasonable, as expected. The resort is clean, thanks to the many employees who maintain the beautiful grounds. There was a brief disturbance from an employee strike that lasted a few hours. Overall, the service was satisfactory. We appreciated having a mini fridge for our cold drinks and enough counter space for cutting fruit. A shout-out to all the bartenders at the bar.
