The place is at the most beautiful place in Kona. I only got to stay just one night before heading North. The staffs are very kind and especially the Assitant Director of rooms, Wendy Victor, was beyond exceptional. I had an issue with my room, and she took care of the issue beyond my expectation. Excellent service!!! My flying in to Kona was so bad, but the service at the Royal Kona made me forget that and start my vacation with warm Hawaiian welcome!!!

Very nice view of the ocean. Nice pool and plenty of pool chaises. Would have liked a hot tub near pool. Voucher for two free Mai Tais given as you check in. ..best ones I ever had! Nice open-air restaurant with good views. Room was very nice; liked the “pencil-like” lights next to each bed…nice for reading when others are sleeping. We were in a deluxe one bedroom with ocean view.

Great resort but to find parking is challenging even after paying ridiculous amount for parking. It is Hawaii so everything is expensive we should know but I would recommend this place. It is overall a very nice resort and would stay there again.
