The grounds are gorgeous- just like the pictures- but the hotel itself has thin walls and you hear everything. There's great food in walking distance-- Humpy's breakfast is amazing! Staff was not unfriendly, but the aloha spirit we were so used to from other areas of the big island was not present. I'd also advise skipping the luau if you're going with less than 6 people. It was supposed to be general admission, but they blocked all GA center tables for large parties (not VIP- that I understand was a different tier). It didn't matter that we were there on time; we had the choice of 3 side/ back tables. It was a small detail that made us feel not valued immediately. I would not return. It has strengths, but I think we could find better.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Having the beautiful ocean, lagoon and pool right by the ocean and town in walking distance was perfect! Rooms were clean and good size, but could use updating. Only one restaurant was open and no room service due to lack of help. Luau was fun. Food was good and kids loved fire dance at the end. Loved the lagoon…able to snorkel and see tropical fish, could even see some yellow tangs and dolphins in the ocean from my room window. Coin operated laundry machines, but note buy detergent in laundry room not gift shop….$1 more in gift shop. Overall lovely property and would stay there again.

We loved staying at Royal Kona resort. It is convenient and walkable to all dining and shopping activities. We had an oceanfront room and it was beautiful. The staff was friendly and room cleaning was everyday. The hotel is also near a lot of activities if you are planing to book snorkelling, Mauna Kea summit and other tours. An excellent resort at a great price
