What people say

We love the location - close to the downtown, which we walk to for shopping, dining, etc. We especially enjoy sitting near the ocean watching the breakers crash onto the lava rock. The bar is fun, and the special $75 dinner for two was exceptional. This was our 3rd visit to Royal Kona Resort, and Liz, check-out clerk said we should call ahead to the Manager requesting a free upgrade to an ocean view next time. That would be lovely!!!.
all reviews » We liked the location it was ideal for access to shops, restaurants and trolley bus which takes you all round the area, it is also nicely situated on the beach with it's own lagoon.the restaurant and bar are also situated overlooking the sea which is really nice while dining especially as the sun is setting. The pool, spa, fire around the pool, location to beach and the coconut market. Location on island was great to go south to canyon or north to the north shore area. Internet service was brilliant with additional computers and printing service at no extra cost. The room was large. Small sink area and bar in room with refridgerator, good. Lagoon area nice, outside bar area nice. Love the Royals in lobby. Very nice Parking attendent, Dianne. Fantastic view..right on water--could see surf and feel pounding of surf and vista views of sea. walking distance to restaurants and shops and activities. clean and comfortable. absolutely outstanding authentic atmosphere and the views/ setting are unbeatable - there was convenient access to everything but we never wanted to leave the resort !!. Great location! Everything was clean and comfy-- great value for money. Pool and beach were nice, bar and amenities were good too. I would stay here again. the ocean view. great buffet breakfast. great bar with good food. easy to find . good location. nice pools and salt water lagoon. The staff was great. The room was spacious and with a good bed. The fact that the hotel is almost on the water! :) The hotel bar. The view is amazing. The openness of the bar and restraunts had spectacular views. The staff were very helpful and friendly. We got a great mountain room right by the sea! Loved building layout, very elegant and tropical feel. Location:easy to access to restaurants and bars nearby. Only a 10min-drive to some small beaches. The relaxing atmosphere, facilities available, close to 'main town', close to 'other eateries'. for an older hotel, it maintains its glory and position as one of the best Kona hotels. Close to the restaurants, main tralvel spots, shopping area. Plenty of parking area. Great food at Don the beachcomers, Staff great. Convenient parking. good location, good view, gpod stuff, makes me feel comfortable. Location, tide pool, views from room and bar, easy parking. free upgrade to oceanfront room , mai-tai bar is nice. I loved the luau!!! Very exciting and entertaining. The salt water lagoon The cocktails The food. tha staff was extremely helpful and nice. Clean. Very well kept hotel. Great staff, great location. Location, staff, atmosphere. The hotel is well located. view. Happy hour. The setting for drinks and dinner overlooking the ocean hearing the waves against the rocks is outstanding. Food good too but pricey. Great public areas, large rooms, large balconies, good ocean views. Convenience, close to shopping. Lobby had nice ambiance. The location was great, and we loved the ocean view. Huge facility Entertainment Romantic restaurant. Location was very good Luau was excellent. Large rooms and pool. -Large cameras. We were initially assigned a room on the north side of the center building (described as a "garden view). While it had some view of the ocean, the main view was over the roof of the "utility area", with constant noise of fans, air-conditioning, etc. The staff kindly moved us to the southern tower overlooking the center court which was lovely. Didn't like the fact that the restaurant was only open Thursday to Saturday for evening dining though not really a problem as you can get bar food and there are restaurants within walking distance. nothing. My balcony area was not very private, neighbors could jump over to my side! Towers seem very open and unsecure. Smokers everywhere near my tower. (Lagoon Tower). We were given a 1st floor room but is was damp and moldy and gave us headache. the very nice receptionist moved us to a 6th floor which great. Only two towels for a 4 person reservation? Still, when we called housekeeping for more towels they were prompt and friendly. smelled a little musty. The hotel looks a bit outdated, but we loved our stay. The part of the hotel I stayed in was a little older. It took a long time for hot water to start working in the shower. No free wireless No teabags. 1.Balcony isn't very isolated. Neighbors could come in my balcony and when I was there I often saw neighbors relaxing there. It was kinda awkward sometimes. 2.No free wifi. Thin wall which you can hear your neighbour. The towel is not soft at all. Had one server at the bar more interested in a group of friends than customers. Sad but true. no internet acess. needs renovation. carpet on the balcony. needs a facelift, rooms are outdated. needs to be fixed up.. First room smelled of smoke, but we were quickly provided a smoke-free room. Large resort but minimal beach. Rooms were a bit outdated. Room not up to date, noisy in morning - leaf blowers at 6:30am, 2 double beds - seems small for a standard room - 1 queen was what we expected for a standard room at the rate. The staff is getting old and too comfortable in their jobs, so, as you may imagine, do not give a damn about customers. breakfast buffet. Rooms are very dated. Only that the room was tired. Old rooms, high price restaurant for not such great food. The hotel itself is quite tired and could use an upgrade. Old facility. Paying for parking was unacceptable! No free wifi - even 3rd world countries offer free inroom wifi! Rooms quite dated and noisy especially when luau is finished and early wake up call from rubbish trucks Restaurant food very pricey Staff not friendly at all - they did their job quite curtly. The waitress, very rude. -WC aged and spoiled -Wifi not suitable for several devices simulteaneously.
