Royal Kona Resort

8/10 Good
"Very nice room location with a great view of the ocean and pool area. We were in the main building in the middle. Rooms and public areas are looking a little worn and are in need of a refresh. Food and drinks were very good! Ahi tostada was excellent with super fresh fish and the beef was delicious as well. Pool was very nice and location for sunsets was excellent. Bar location and drinks are excellent! Entertainment at the bar was exceptional with famous Hawaiian singers on Thursday nights. We got to see Ledward Kaapana!"

"I reserved a n oceanfront room and after traveling 6,000 miles we were put in a room with partial view of the ocean. This was very upsetting especially because I paid extra. We met two other people who had the same exact experience and they come annually. It would have been a perfect experience if the room was full oceanfront. We were told “ocean view” is not “oceanfront so I’d call several times to be sure."
