Recent Royal Kona Resort Review: "This was my wife's first hotel in Hawaii. We have since stayed in some of the finest hotels and condo's in the islands. We always want to stay here. She wants the kids we haven't had yet to learn how to snorkel in the private lagoon. Some people want a fancier place, sparkling, catering to their every whim. They should go there then. The Royal Kona Resort is a wonderful hotel. Funky, beautifully located like a crown on Kona Bay, with amazing views from Oceanfront rooms, the Tiki Bar, pool, and Restaurant. It is a home away from home, you will be treated like family by the staff if you treat them with respect, like home. The hotel was built in '69 in Hawaii, right on the lava rock on the shoreline, they can't build this close to the water anymore, wear and tear is to be expected. Life grows everywhere in Hawaii, even in your room at one of the fancy hotels. It's called tropical for a reason. If you can respect the Beautiful lady this hotel has become, you couldn't be happier."

Expert Tip
In 1812, King Kamehameha established his summer residence in this area after unifying the Hawaiian Islands and returning to his homeland. Next to the Kona Pier in the center of Kailua-Kona are replicas of his thatched-roof home and temple, with signs that explain their significance. Notifications:

    • A short guide to Kailua-Kona

    Kailua-Kona is the epicenter of shopping and recreation on Hawaii’s western shore. Big-game fishers delight off its waters, while shoppers reel in deals along Alii Drive. The Kailua-Kona area is a hiker’s paradise because many of its best beaches are accessible only by foot. Inland, the scent of coffee permeates the air as plantations harvest precious Kona beans. Nearby coffee farms open for tours.
