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!

“View of the parking lot!”
Nov 01, 2026Sarah B
I selected "mountain view" and the resort was barely full (I hardly saw anyone!) and they gave both me and a friend I was travelling with a room with a view of the parking lot that was right on the street. I heard motorcycles, gardners and people walking downtown all day and night. Plus the staff upon check in was truly unfriendly. I would never go back here. Rooms are outdated and it has a very flat feeling.
“Excellent Location but disappointed with furniture and bathroom facility.”
Oct 29, 2026JHPL11
Location and view are excellent. However, the furniture needs to be improved. There is no chair inside the room. There is a sofa, but no chair to sit at the table to write or work on a laptop. Also, our unit somehow has fewer balcony chairs than the other units, even though our unit is larger. The bath faucets need to be modernized. Hard to set, and the water is trickling.
