Great place to stay
This is a beautiful and affordable place to stay in Kona. The check in area is stunning, with fountain and koi pond. Rooms are comfortable and well decorated. On site restaurant was delicious and not too expensive. Pool area overlooking the ocean is a great place to relax. Only complaint is that an ocean view room also comes with the noise from the restaurant/bar below

OLD and out dated and bad Service!
The rooms look nice in the pictures but they are old, smelly and no hooks or extra mirrors anywhere. Even the electrical outlets are not in the right spots for the coffee machine or end tables. Its ridiculous! Service is very absent. We stayed 8 nights but no one changed the sheets until I asked on the 6th day! No proper enter tainment. Just the Luau which was a crap show. Food was horrible and the entertainment sub par. No fire pit and no roasting of meat. It's not worth the money. Go somewhere that actually gives you what u pay for!

Royal Kona Resort. Hawaii Island.
The Royal Kona Resort was excellent! The staff was extremely polite. The rooms were clean and very comfortable. The resort was very comfortable and very peaceful and relaxing. Don’s tiki bar restaurant was open air oceanfront. The food was good. The swimming pool, Koi pond, and all their gardens were immaculate. I thought it was well worth the money,

The best hotel experience in Kailua-Kona for adventurers.
I stayed here 20 years ago as a teenager… and it was awesome. I stayed here again now, with my teenagers… still awesome. We LOVE the bay tower. It’s our favorite, because it has the fun open air courtyard in the middle. I used the very affordable spa several times. We ate at the super reasonably priced in-hotel restaurant a bunch, and it was great. We tried renting a cabana by the pool for the first time, and loved it! The private lagoon is the absolute best. My little swimmers were able to snorkel and play without me worrying about them in the big ocean. It was our private baby ocean. The parking is so easy to come and go from, worth every penny of the $25 a day. We had the best time, and were able to really vacation to the max with our huge pile of kids and grama without going broke. We are coming back next year, for sure!

Great restaurants and shops close by
The rooms are very clean and large. We had a corner room, unfortunately, the balcony overlooked the trash bins. It also was very close to Alii drive so was pretty noisy thru the night. We had stayed at this resort in April and loved it. I am willing to give it another chance at a later date. The staff is great and the convenience of having shops and restaurants so close outweighs some of the unfortunate events.
