Compare Historic Hotels in Kailua-Kona

"I recently stayed at the Royal Kona Resort in Kona, Hawaii. The location and amenities definitely deserve a 5-star rating. The oceanfront views are absolutely beautiful, the saltwater lagoon and pool area are great, and the property has that classic Hawaiian resort feel. Being able to walk right into town for restaurants and shops is also a huge plus. Unfortunately, the cleanliness and service did not match the amazing setting. Our room and some of the common areas didn’t seem as clean or well maintained as expected, which took away from the experience. In addition, several interactions with staff felt unfriendly and unwelcoming. Overall, the Royal Kona has incredible potential because of its location and amenities, but improvements in housekeeping and customer service would make a big difference in the overall guest experience."

"Our stay was not at all as described. We thought we were getting an ocean view with laundry. Instead we had to cross a road for both a view and laundry. Will not return or recommend."
