Hawaiʻi County Vacation Rentals

"I love staying at the Royal Kona. I think it’s a great value for so many reasons. Great room options, especially if you want to save a few dollars on renovation rates. On the ocean with a pool and a saltwater beach I haven’t gotten to enjoy yet (my fault!). Restaurant is right by the pool so you can grab drinks or food. The restaurant does breakfast starting at 06:30! I think they end dinner at 21:30. Ice machine and purified water station, wifi, parking if you don’t mind a $25 daily rate. There’s parking in general in the area but it can get pretty busy. In the heart of Kailua-Kona so if you plan on staying on Ali’i Drive and taking advantage of amenities there without a car rental, you might be able to make it work. I appreciate the welcome package: two bottles waters in your fridge and two drink ticket for Mai Tai’s but I believe you can get mocktails instead if you prefer. I think it’s pretty wheelchair/walker accessible: ramps and elevators that are pretty well kept up. I have to say even the partial ocean views make all of this worth it. Waking up to stunning blue waters and waving palm trees is hard to beat. Then you can just wander out to the nearby beaches or to the many shops and restaurants nearby. I don’t really see a need to stay anywhere else if I’m honest! You can feel the love and alpha from everyone at this resort. Can’t wait to be back!"

"Fantastic overall. Beach is perfect for swimming (snorkel elsewhere). The views from the North Tower rooms are incredible. No black out shades in the rooms…that was frustrating. Staff was very attentive and kind and the breakfast and on-site restaurants were great, however. Location is a bit isolated, so this is perfect for couple or a family seeking a quiet but fun trip. "

"Zero complaints"

"All good!"

"We stayed here for two nights. Boy, was the room outdated and wallpaper is pealing. Iron is leaking. Body wash bottle was completely empty. Hairdryer - barely worked. We checked in 4 people and there were only two towels. We had do go to the lobby twice to request towels. During our stay that only had buffet style breakfast and dinner - which was way overpriced. We are not big eaters and were hopping for small breakfast. Our room was ocean view (which we paid extra for), it was not good - ocean with a side of really outdated roof from restaurant bellow. Parking was extremely hard to find. We had a disabled parking permit and there were just a few spots. We had to park on the parking spot near the little shop, even that, it was playing musical chairs waiting for car to pull out so we can get one. I specifically picked this hotel for higher $$$ hoping our stay would’ve more enjoyable. Unfortunately just a two things were good - location and decent mattresses. :("
