"Super worth it! Clean room. Coffee shop is great. Restaurant was good but not many options. Staff was really nice. Property was beautiful. The store and the staff in that store were amazing. The only con was no regulating pool area so Saturday night was super busy with young adults and was very loud until the pool closed. We had a room right above the pool and even with the door shut it was so loud. We couldn’t even fit in either hot tub because it was overrun with young adults who were obviously not guests at all. Other than that, I’d definitely recommend this resort. "

"Clean room. Helpful staff’s. Free breakfasts."

"Nice room. Great AC. Beautiful site."

"We stayed 3 nights and the Royal Kona is close to shops and restaurants. The property is showing its age and some areas are under renovation. Staff were helpful and baggage and valet staff were working their tails off."

"Rooms were clean. The ocean view was spectacular. The staff were friendly. Parking is available. Traffic is an issue. No serious restaurant nearby. If one can afford it, consider using a shuttle service to get around."

"It had adequate parking and plenty of towels. Wish we had noticed a beach chair in one of the closets. Check in and out was super easy. I thought it'd be a little closer to all the shops and restaurants but oh well. It had a window unit AC in the living room only so the bedroom could get a little stuffy. Also, if you left any dirty dishes in the sink for even a day, you'd get what looked like baby roaches in the sink and on the counter. They weren't very frequent."

"Property was well kept and checkin went well when at property but emailed instructions were not helpful and phone number was incorrect."

"First thing I checked in and I had ocean front room and instead they gave me 2 floor room that the view was the first floor roof , I went to guest service and they did not help me at all , I had to request a manager to show them the view of the room I booked and the one they gave me , she then proceeded to help me and gave me the one I purchased, her name was Mailie , the beach in front of the hotel is used by locals and anyone , there is not exclusively like they show on pics here ,I fine to stay here but is way overpriced "

"Great stay. A couple of their hot tubs were down but there are 6 on the property so not the biggest deal but definitely inconvenient. "
