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!

“Royal Kona Resort the Jewel on the Kona Beach”
Sep 03, 2026Karen M
Royal Kona is a perfect place for a relaxing visit to Kona. The staff was welcoming. Our room was amazing with a terrace surrounding two sides of the room right on the beach. The pool and Lagoon are perfect for relaxing and enjoying your stay. The location is located near shops and restaurants- an easy walk.
“Bay View was Amazing!”
Aug 30, 2026John L
We absolutely loved our stay at the Royal Kona Resort! The view was incredible, the location was perfect, and the drinks were both delicious and surprisingly well-priced. Everything made it easy to relax and enjoy our time in Kona.
A special shoutout to Joy at the front desk—she was the absolute best! She was warm, welcoming, and incredibly helpful. We’d happily stay here again and highly recommend the Royal Kona Resort!
