"I stay at the Royal Kona Resort every time I visit the Big Island. It is a throwback to the 1970s but that is why I love it so much. My favorite features: waterfalls and Koi gardens and tiki statues by the front entrance as well as the spectacular views from Don the Beachcomber bar and restaurant while listening to spectacular live music."
