We were pleasantly surprised to walk into our newly-renovated room and find a wall of windows facing the bay. The balcony was a lovely place to sit and listen to the waves crashing on the lava rocks below. The room was clean, quiet, and nicely decorated. We were within walking distance of lots of nice shopping and restaurants. By the way, the ...

My husband and I spent three nights of our honeymoon here. What a wonderful place! The sound of the ocean at night, the ability to keep our doors open, the staff and food combined to add the perfect relaxed atmosphere our honeymoon needed. Perfect place for vacationing. The staff was helpful and informed. Our room was beautiful and clean. Excellent place!!!! The walking distance from so many places was great.

All of the hotel staff were friendly. It was a great centralized location. We did have two rooms at the resort, one with a garden view, which was really a view of the parking lot. The next day we were upgraded to an ocean view. Simply beautiful!! Since it was our first trip to Hawaii it was nice to have the ocean view and the crashing of the ...

First of all, the view is indeed stunning. There are few places to stay that offers the view that you will see. Although the surf is loud, it is Hawaii and the Pacific Ocean after all... and that is why I came to this part of the world. Secondly, it is close to Kona and shopping. The food apparently is better that what it used to be in the past. I ...

A great location and staff cannot make up for the fact that this hotel has had no apparent maintenance or updating since built (in the 1960s?). Tile floors are coming up, wood stain is only a memory, carpeting is dingy, taking a shower is hopeless. No apparent Internet connection or business center at any price.On the plus side, the restaurant is ...

We booked this resort through our travel on AOl, we had heard that it was a 3 star resort.
Our stay was from Janaury 11-the 18th 2007. Our room was infested with cockraoches, in our bed and in the refridgerator as well. They were crawling all over the bathroom as well. Our A/C went out the day after we arrived and after aasking the front desk ...

My Wife & I just returned from a week long stay at the Royal Kona Resort. We would recomend it to anyone looking for a good clean place to stay with a great view. It was within easy walking distance to many of the local attractions.
I read several of the reviews of the place before we went there & there were a number of negative ones for ...

We hated this hotel. It was the worst $100+ we've ever paid for a hotel room. If you want to stay somewhere nice, this isn't the place.

We stayed here for five nights. We used to live on the Big Island and always stayed here when we played "tourist" from our home on the other side of the island. The first night we had a room with a great view in the section of the hotel that had not yet been remodeled. We requested to be moved the next day - could smell mold in the ...
