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!

From start to finish our stay at the royal kona is just what we needed. Check-in was easy, and with the rate we got, we had free parking, waived resort fees, and to our surprise - two free mai tais upon arrival!
Staff was friendly and easy going, the room was good for what we needed. The only bummer was the lack of a microwave, but other than that - the mai tai bar had the strongest drinks in town. Also the cheapest! Great deal - with a spectacular view.
The pool attendant was lovely and when there were no seats - set up a cabana for us for the hour at her own leisure. Great service. You can’t beat the location to - head over to Huggos while you stay here - it’s a great dining with an even better view at sunset.
“Great Location on the Water”

We stayed one night padding through Kona. The location was waterfront with great views, restaurant, pool and close to everything.
“Good times always!”

As residents of the Big Island this is our go to place for a little “staycation”. Love the comfortable beds, the large rooms and the location right on the waterfront.
