Very Disappointed
The hotel is “tired”. Needs paint, carpet and improvements. We loved the look of the hotel in regards to the Royal Kona look. The restaurant has a great ocean view. Check in was disappointing. The women who helped us must have been having a bad day. She was not very friendly. Dinner was nothing to write home about either. We will not be returning.

The staff is excellent. There is renovation going on in one of the towers but no one was staying there. The rooms are spacious and clean. The restaurant and bar menu was good but a bit pricey for someone used to Midwest prices. The open air restaurant, bar and lobby were interesting for me, coming from a region that’s gets fours seasons. I was told the temps are pretty steady at this facility. Don’t worry, the hotel rooms have walls and a spacious balcony. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Royal Kona Resort.

This is a difficult review. The location and staff / housekeeping was excellent. Our view was excellent after I complained about the first room not meeting the pictures advertised…however we were quickly and politely moved to a room of our liking, meaning we had a couple rooms to choose from. The public areas were excellent. What you need to know is that two of the four towers comprising the hotel are being refurbished, which is long over do. The tower we stayed in on the outside was cracking and peeling. Our room had some bugs. We have no problem with older properties in general, but this tower was pushing the limits. It’s difficult for me to understand why ownership has waited so long to refurbish a hotel in such a great location…perhaps it’s under new ownership. However we did stay, so that says something. The fourth tower looked fine, from the outside. If I was to stay there again that’s the one I would try. Remember this is just one review, from a mainlander.
