Jun 27, 20254 star! Could be 5 with a little adjustment
Reasonable Kamaaina rates and comfortable stay as always. Love the free parking, but would appreciate a charging station for electric car. Took mainland family & they were pleased. Location is perfect for walking to town. Breakfast was great with one exception…can’t get hot coffee. Ordered decaf. Coffee wasn’t hot. I asked for refill or new cup of HOT coffee. Was told it is only perked once and it sits there with no heating element and there is no microwave! Waitress was rude about it too. Lots of folks drink decaf. Please update your equipment & train your wait staff in human relations. Mahalo.

Jun 25, 2025Resort of the Past
Royal Kona It may seem like a great deal, but don’t do it! We decided to stay two extra nights in Hawaii and book a room at the Royal Kona resort. They had a special in the Lagoon Tower because it is being renovated. Honestly, the sound from construction was not bad. But everything else was! Access into the building is on the backside only as the front entrance is completely closed off. The room we got is atrocious! The carpeting is so dirty and old we could not walk around barefoot. The furnishings are minimal and older. The bathroom reminded me of a cheap Vegas hotel off the strip. The reduced rate to stay here is way more than it should be and quite honestly, they should not be offering these rooms in their current condition. Enough said!!

Jun 25, 2025Old school Hawaii done with class and style
Old school Hawaii done with class and style. From the restaurant to the primo location, Royal Kona is the spot in Kona. The luau is incredible. Special shout out to Danny for a daily dose of humor and wisdom, and Rudy for greeting us with a warm aloha on arrival. We will be back for sure.

Beautiful Resort!
The bedroom was large and comfortable; however, the beds were only doubles. The landscaping and pools were beautiful! The Don Beachcomber Bar was fabulous! You must try the Lava Tube!!! The food was also delicious.

Hawaiian Vacation
Wow what an amazing experience my family and I experienced, the resort was great place to stay and if I ever have the chance to return to Hawaii I would definitely stay there. My trip started a little rocky but it was not there fault but the stepped up right away working with Apple Vacations to make sure we had the best experience possible. They also provided us with many things to do from free places to visit on the island to the paid experiences. Please keep up the great job that you provided to my family and I. Thanks Vince
