There was a mix-up on the date of our reservations. My fault, not the hotel's. Jadyn was extremely helpful and went above and beyond duty to help us fix the problem.

Royal Kona Resort is ocean front property. You wake up everyday the sound of waves and sunshine! A very pleasant atmosphere. We were able to walk to Ali'i Drive where there are shops and restaurants. There was a restaurant and bar at the resort as well. The room has a tiny kitchenette with sink and mini fridge. I would highly recommend this property. This resort is 2 hours from volcano national park and 1.5 hours from hilo.

The staff at the reception desk were friendly. The room was kept clean. My only complaint is the attitude of the staff at the restaurant; other than my very first day and meal there I was made to feel that my appearance there was an imposition. The food

The room was more basic and the mattresses were maybe 6 foot. My feet hung off the edge when head was touching the head board. Really loved the lagoon though.

The room was fine and clean. The area around the hotel is a little sketchy. The homeless are very prevalent and although they didn’t bother the guests they seem to linger about which is a little uncomfortable. The town of Kona also needs to be more diligent about having clean streets and common areas. (Ie empty the overflowing waste cans).
