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!

“Kona staycation 2026”
May 17, 2026Mark B
This is our fourth stay here at the Royal Kona, and we love staying here. We had s great time on our staycation, as we do live here on Big Island. The staff was more than friendly and accommodating, and guest saying I as we passed. Dane was great at the beautiful open bar, as he made the best drinks. Julia in the general store was So friendly , and I gave to call out the pool attendants that were amazing and remembered us from the last visit! I felt a little uncomfortable at check in as the lady who checked us is was not the most welcoming, she was just very to the point and very business. It was such a good stay and the check in was water under the bridge after we headed to out ocean front room!
“Wonderful experience”

We truly enjoyed our stay! The live music featuring Ricki Kamai on Saturday was outstanding and brought such a great atmosphere with its variety of music. The hotel was clean, walkable to nearby shops, and the pool and food service were excellent.
A special thank you to Justice for the warm hospitality and wonderful recommendations that made us feel right at home. Also, housekeeping was incredibly prompt and efficient, which made our experience even more pleasant.
Thank you for such a memorable stay!
