"Overall this is nice property 8/10. Clean well manicured botanical grounds with a quiet large patio area with AMAZING SUSNET Views. Soothing crashing waves all day and night however NO immediate ocean swimming or beach access (drive / walk for that) No onsite food / bar NOT GOOD was having to punch in a 6 to10 digit code on a keypad EVERY TIME FOR EVERY pool gate, the 1 elevator and our condo door. With multiple people in our group this became VERY frustrating. Been decades since we have stayed anywhere without a key card / digital entry. First desk staff contact with a male employee 👎 was dismissive and unpleasant to say the least. He was flat out RUDE however the 2 ladies later that afternoon were Fantastic! No parking issues and this location and it is about a 5 minute drive to all the local shops, restaurants / bars and night life. Would stay here again but only after exploring other priorities in the Kona area. "

"The spirit of Aloha is alive at Royal Kona! Great location, the views are impeccable. The lagoon is gorgeous and the staff truly made this a memorable experience. Yes there was construction- but the prices are adjusted and needs easily accommodated if asked and the disruption was very limited. My only challenge was getting my luggage to and from my room as parking was taken up by the luau upon arrival - yet I did not ask for help and likely could have. The hotel should consider discounted invitations to hotel guests to the luau as I wasn’t even aware it was there until I arrived. Nearby restaurants and coffee shop exceeded expectations but do stop in for a epic sunset and mai tai at least once. Don’t like the food at the restaurant?- tell them - and try again. The ginger sauce for the sweet potato fries is to die for. Really enjoyable alternative to the commercial resorts! "
