We brought our kids and double full beds are pretty small. A little older but clean and comfortable. Located in a great area with plenty of food options and shopping nearby.

this was not a vacation but a wonderful place to sleep after a difficult day of travel. Our flight was delayed by 10 hours and instead of arriving at 12:00 we came in at ten and we were too tired to drive. We got the resort last min. reservation was easy, thank goodness. But the room were were put in had noisy neighbors. At the front dest the sweetest girl got us a different room. We really dont complain much but we needed the quiet restful sleep after a difficult day. And it was just what we got. Bless the front desk help the room was perfect! Wish we could have stayed longer. We have friends and family on Hawaii. So we come as often as we can. Thank you

Wrong room. I had booked a king bed but got 2 separate smaller beds. Then was moved to a room where the fure alarm started squeaking loudly waking up my toddler. Overall, poor experience for us.

This was our second stay at the Royal Kona. Both times have been about the same. The grounds are very pretty, the location is great, but the hotel itself and the rooms are pretty dated. The beds are not very comfortable and they have a terrible popcorn ceiling in the actual rooms as well. They have a pool and kiddie pool, but we wish the pool was better as it's pretty basic and not that large. We do love the bar and grill near to the pool and the views are unbeatable. This resort is in a great location too. I can see us staying here again as the price is lower than other resorts on the big island, but the resort itself is pretty average.

We had a wonderful stay with a beautiful view of the ocean. The amenities are a little lacking and the rooms could use a little updating, but you cannot beat the view or the atmosphere. The pool options were great for the kids and my husband and I enjoyed the drinks at the poolside restaurant:

Overall we were very pleased with our stay at Royal Kona! We had a pretty negative experience with one breakfast server, however the other service was great. We traveled as a family, and appreciated the location in regards to proximity to shopping and restaurants. We would absolutely stay there again!
