Set oceanfront overlooking Kailua Bay in the heart of Kona town, the Royal Kona Resort is within walking distance of restaurants, shops, historical sites, and activities. Guests enjoy spacious guestrooms featuring a large lanai with beautiful mountain vistas or magnificent ocean views, a private saltwater swimming lagoon and sandy sunning area, oceanfront pool, tennis courts, and spa. The Resort also offers meeting facilities, a romance center, wedding services, and an oceanfront Luau. Dine at the water's edge at Don the Beachcomber signature restaurant or try one of the many unique Mai Tai creations at the adjacent Don's Mai Tai Bar.
At 390 square feet, the recently remodeled and spacious guest rooms at Royal Kona Resort are as expansive as the ocean and mountain skylines they showcase. For even grander appointments, the Corner King rooms offer 450 feet of relaxing space. At the heart of the resort is the Alii Tower, which is home to the open-air lobby, Front Desk, and Don the Beachcomber restaurant. The Lagoon Tower, on the south side of the resort, overlooks the private beach and saltwater lagoon. It also houses a beauty salon and self-service laundry. To the north, closest to Kailua-Kona, is the Bay Tower in which the massage and spa center can be found.
Designed by renowned Tiki architect George "Pete" Wimberly, the soaring, sheltering roofline of the resort's signature Don the Beachcomber Restaurant perfectly sets a tropical theme. Hawaiian music wafts through the dining area, flowing past the shaded, waterside tables. Don't be surprised if you are joined for breakfast by a pod of spinner dolphins, or starting in late October, migrating humpback whales whose breathtaking aerial performances bring the whole bay to a standstill. The dining is as spectacular as the view, a fusion of Asian inspiration, European technique, and the finest, freshest local ingredients.

Apr 21, 2026A Great Conference Venue
My temple hosted a conference at the Royal Kona Resort. The Alii Surf room with its spectacular view of the ocean and friendly servers was the perfect venue for our event. Karen Wakata, the catering and convention services manager, made sure that my group's needs were met. She was outstanding! The hotel rooms were beautiful and the conference attendees were very pleased.

Apr 16, 2026The whole place needs major renovations. Ok for a more cost effective brief stay. Does not look like pictures online.
Check in took a very long time even though we had pre-checked. Employees at the counter were nice just a long line. The room was very dated and damp. Housekeeping did a nice job and were very pleasant. Location was good within walking distance of a lot but this part of Kona reminded us a lot of Myrtle Beach. The food in the bar/restaurant was not good. The pool is smaller than most backyard pools. I would not recommend this place to friends.

Wonderful experience!
We had a great experience at Royal Kona Resort! When I reserved the room, I asked for ocean view. And did we ever have a view!! And the sound of the surf! Okay, we could also hear the pool, but it wasn't super loud. I had also read from other reviews that the rooms were outdated. Yep, they are. And you know what? I didn't care. I was on my dream vacation with a fantastic view! The hotel employees when we asked for help were super nice and fabulous. I can no longer say I've never checked into a room at an outdoor desk! We had dinner several nights at the restaurant Don the Beachcombers and the food was fabulous! Service was a little slow to get us seated a couple times was about the worst of it. We also did the Luau - Do NOT Miss This experience!

Best Lodging Experience
Aloha, we spent one night here using our credit card points. The stay exceeded our expectations. We were thankful to check in early so we could get ready for our swim with mantarays. The arrival mai tais were a nice surprise as well as the stairs leading into the lagoon. The corner room was impressive. We were thankful for the front desk holding our luggage when we traveled to the green sand beach. We would have loved to stay longer! Mahalo
