We had a lovely time at this hotel. It was worth the upgrade to an oceanfront room and we got to see dolphins out in the bay from our balcony.

This was my second time staying at Royal Kona Resort. It meets my budget, rooms are clean and staff is polite and attentive. The resort is a bit dated but it appears they are upgrading some areas.

I really liked the older historical feeling, and the rooms were updated and clean, new comfortable mattresses and bedding. There is a mini bar area with sink and refrigerator. The lagoon was great for swimming and food and shops were a short walk. They provide great pool towels that you can take to the beach. You pay extra for parking but it’s convenient and easy to get to.

Was expensive for what was available, the place is old and one of the elevators was down making it inconvenient. The dust bunnies in the elevator were 3 inches long hanging down. Not a great value but one hell of a view.
