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!

“Wonderful almost one month vacation in Hawaii”
Jul 14, 2026155stephaniea
Been coming here for over 50 years, great place to be with the exception of the restaurant which is not that great,got sick everytime we ate there. They charge you an automatic gratuity even when splitting checks for a party of 4 and 2 each paying there own checks. Pool was busy, especially the day 200 kids from Mississippi showed up, they were the most polite young people. Front staff Ann, Wendy and Rudy were fantastic, Pool person Karen and Danny as well.
“Great”

My first time at a resort, and I thought Royal Kona was very good. The views were incredible, and the lagoon was probably our favorite part! The only thing I’d knit pick is the food and the Mai Tai’s. You should get two drink tickets every day of your stay not just two for the entire week etc. But if I ever come back to Kona, I will stay at Royal Kona!
“A special place…”

Location was great in Kona. The atmosphere was perfect and the restaurant / bar / pool locations right on the beach couldn’t have been better. Some of the exterior was in need of repair and the patios could use lounge chairs. Our bathroom was a little dated and the ac smelled musty but the view from the corner king and overall experience was very special.
