Royal Kona Resort | Big Island, Hawaii | Virgin Atlantic Holidays

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!

“Would have been 0 stars if the app allowed it.”

Sep 15, 2025LeighWerx

This is the worst hotel I have ever stayed in. It is not a resort! It is a motel 8 with a view. And it is expensive!!!! $500 I paid for 1 night and it was a flea bag. Total ripoff - I feel fleeced beyond belief. Cheap. No amenities. Thin towels, no robe,no minibar, no room service. Such a complete bait and switch. It is awful. Gave it 1 star because the app made me rate it .

“After Wedding Staycation”

Sep 12, 2025Nathaniel M

Awesome experience! Walking distance to all of the necessary stores, restaurants and overall things needed for a staycation. My wife and I got Married in Hilo this past Saturday and wanted to do a staycation in Kona to relax, unwind and breathe after the wedding and before going back to work on Monday. Best decision ever! The salt water lagoon was perfect! Felt like you had your own private slice of the ocean; water was the right height for my wife, water is calm due to the rock walls and nothing better than eating lunch on the beach. Sunsets are awesome in Kona and glad to see them in person during our time there. The kamaaina rates and benefits are great! Free parking and late checkout along with a discount on the room! Will definitely return to Royal Kona Resort soon!

“Surprising experience”

Amazing staff , views and short walking to shop and dinning. Evening show with one of the best Hawaiian singers, at the beautiful Ocean front bar and dinning room. The breakfast is a must to have at the hotel.
