Don' Mai Tai Bar Is Awesome!

“We really enjoy this restaurant! The food is always good and the service is the best. Are you sure and try the Loco Moco. It is excellent. I always ask about their specials for the day. We found these to be awesome. The servers are top notch and get your order right the first time. You will not be disappointed! The drinks are awesome too!”

Best Place To Stay On The Big Island!

“The Royal Kona is absolutely THE BEST place to stay on The Big Island. The resort is charming and has that old school Hawaiian feel. The staff here are incredibly friendly and accommodating. The resort is perfectly located within walking distance to all shopping and dining. However, you really don't even need to leave the resort. The food is excellent here and you will not find better Mai Tai's anywhere on the island. The views from this hotel are undeniable. Especially for the perfect Kona sunsets. This resort is my absolute favorite place to stay when on The Big Island.”

Royal Kona Review

“No one is better than the Royal Kona, Best Music series by very well known Artists like the amazingly talented Henry Kapono. He is part of group of musicians known very in many places in Hawaii and on the mainland. No resort fees too many place charge excess fees but not the the Royal K. Property is nice and lot of things like the Mai Tai Festival and numerous othe events that the Royal has going on. ”

5 Star Rating!

“My husband and I married at The Royal Kona and I must let everyone to know that this hotel is designed so elegantly, so clean, so beautifully decorated like none I have ever seen before. From our room to the dining area, bar area, and pool we were so impressed. The staff is amazing, truly aloha in their heart and soul....... The smell of orchids prevail where ever you go...... the most majical place I have ever been. You are walking distance to the most lovely stores and boutiques and awesome restaurants as well.....But.... we found Royal Kona had the best food!!!!! Thank you Kona staff.... You literally went out of your way to provide us with our beautiful wedding day......MAHALO. ”

Amazing Resort!!

“This was the most outstanding part of our trip to the big island! The resort is not only beautiful, but immaculate. Our partial ocean view room was a surprise. Has a view of the grounds plus the ocean. The bar restaurant was such a surprise. Big portions and wonderfully displayed. Try the fish and chips. Wendy, on check in was friendly and helpful- going beyond expectations. Royal Kona is definitely a place we will visit again.”
