Verified Reviews of Royal Kona Resort
Below are the verified reviews from guests that we have booked recently: "Spectacular Ocean View!"
Overall Score4.0/ 5
Housekeepers and reception are friendly. Pool is decent. Gym equipment is excellent! Make use of the free daily yoga in front of the ocean while you are there! Restaurant food was good. Best part about Royal Kona was the spectacular view and the location.

"Very Nice Hotel!"
Overall Score5.0/ 5
We stayed a night to celebrate our anniversary! Had a beautiful view room. Very spacious (except for the bathroom). Appreciated the two free mai tais provided upon check in! The employees at the desk were very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend!

"Awesome lanai large room."
Overall Score5.0/ 5
Lanai was giant and the room was also quite large for a hotel room. Would recommend a corner room as lanais are larger than other rooms. Always enjoy their oceanfront bar as the location is wonderful.

Testimonials:
"I wish I knew about you guys sooner, I've enjoyed being able to come home and go to the computer and see lots of hotels asking me to stay with them. (almost like that commercial, when the banks fight over getting your business) Will recommend to others and can't wait to use the service again myself." P.C. - Philadelphia, PA
