We loved everything about this resort in our oceanfront room except for the bed. It was hard as a rock and we felt like we were sleeping on a board. Other than that everything else was top notch.

The check-in was a breeze, the staff was incredibly friendly, and the drinks were good. We stayed in the lagoon tower because we were only there for one night, which states is under renovation. It definitely needs a glow up, updated bathrooms, and exterior. However, the patios are large, and even though the bed is pretty stiff It was fine for the one night. The pool area looks much better in the photos online and it is not a true infinity pool by any means. However, the lounge chairs are nice and the views are outstanding. The location of the property is incredible, we walked all around Kona and had a wonderful time. There’s so many cool bars and restaurants at your fingertips and a phenomenal sunset! I’m glad that they are doing an upgrade because this property absolutely deserves it. The front desk girls were very welcoming, and the grounds still have some really beautiful areas to sit and enjoy the ocean view!

Loved the location of the Royal Kona Resort - very walkable and close to everything (except a grocery store - had to drive to one of those). The view in the dining area and the pool was spectacular and the little ocean lagoon was a perfect place to take a dip of a hot run! I would have liked access to a business centre. Most of the front desk staff were very helpful, a few others, not so much.

We were upgraded to an ocean front room, and the view from our balcony was spectacular! Enjoyed breakfast at the restaurant every morning as well as taking a refreshing dip in the lagoon. Water refill stations were awesome. Do wish they had real coffee mugs and wine glasses in room and robes would be a nice touch too. Also really enjoyed my spa treatment there!
