This was our second stay at the Royal Kona Resort. Overall, I love staying here. The location is great to walk to the beach, to convenient shopping, and to find nice restaurants. My only complaint is that their fitness room is only open from 8 am to 8 pm and I like to work out early in the morning. Eight AM is a bit late to work out, especially if you have plans for the day. We will definitely be back in the future.
It was beautiful and so close to shopping and restaurants.
I really enjoyed my room and I especially enjoyed my breakfast the next morning,
Overall good
The view was great, room was clean, comfortable beds, well kept grounds, area felt safe and within walking distance to shopping, dining and farmers market on Wednesdays and Thursdays. The lagoon on the cove looks nothing like the pictures, it's dirty water that looks like green vomit I wouldn't put my feet there, and smelled rotten not like the sea in other areas. The front desk ladies are rude, never pick up the phone and when they do they put you on hold for an indefinite time. The little souvenir place downstairs doesn't handle cash. Highly recommend the fish tacos from the bar and the fish and chips, excellent taste and presentation. Hotel doesn't offer shuttle service and lyft is hard to come around so best to rent a car because you'll need it to get around if you want to venture out to do activitities like snorkeling. The Luau highly recommend it. Great view to dine in front of the sea. areas. .
Beautiful but not overdone decor throughout the resort
We had a day that water was shut off
Great location for the Kona “strip” and great set up for breakfast and evening entertainment at hotel. Parking was good but it will cost you. Evidently what you request for beds via Orbitz is not available obligatory by hotel. Had to “convince” them we were not taking 2 double beds when we paid for a King. It was resolved but only because we called them on it. We were not checking in too early ir late either. Orbitz and hotel need to get their processes synced.
The pool was small for such a big resort and no beaches within the resort
Will recommend to family and friends!
Easy first day after a long travel day. Close to eateries. Limited breakfast options, go find a different btreakfast spot.
I would choose Ocean front over Corner King for the money. Corner King was barely furnished and thelanai was lacking in any furniture that made you want to stay outside. Our view was blocked by trees. No clear sunset view .Lagoon building . Bathrooms need updated badly. Disappointing after several stays .
They charge us for meals that were not ours.
