Cottages in Hawaiʻi County

"I love the Royal Kona and will likely stay every time I visit the Big Island! It’s a great price point with fantastic amenities available, as well as being family-friendly. I did notice some availability issues, which is always surprising to me because it seems a touch unreasonable to overbook nowadays, especially when some folks are coming in on international flights. Most everyone on staff is professional but I can understand that particular frustration, though I was lucky to dodge that issue this time. With that small note aside, the food was amazing as usual, spa treatment was luxurious and necessary, and the pool area was well maintained like it has been on every previous visit! I’m so grateful to have been able to spend Christmas in Kona at my favorite resort :)"

"This hotel was perfect for a family trip. Friendly staff, clean room and facilities, 3 pools, a slide, and access to excursions. Walkable options for food outside of the hotel too."

"Our dolphine suite was the best room we’ve stayed in. Love the view and being able to see dolphins from our balcony "

"Overall, the service was excellent. The room was cleaned daily, and the front desk staff were very friendly and attentive in taking care of guests"

"What a amazing resort! My husband and I took our 80+ year old parents! They had there own condo and I can't say enough good stuff about this resort! The pool was perfect, the restaurant was delicious, the entertainment was so fun every night, the staff was unbelievable keeping my parents well taking care of and just overall each one of them was the best! It was within walking distance to groceries, tons of restaurants! Couldn't ask for a better lifetime experience for us! And we were so excited the volcano erupted while we were there! Thank u Kona resort! If I could give them a 10 it would be 11!"

"Very nice and friendly staff. Beautifully kept hotel and room services were great. Location was close by to many restaurants."

"Very clean room. Very friendly front desk staff."

"The hotel was clean, the staff was fantastic, and the amenities were welcomed. A knock is that it could use a refresh, but it didn’t impact my experience."

"The view was great, enjoyed seeing the ocean and all of the wildlife around the resort. The balcony was kinda small, but two of us could sit and enjoy. The distances between the various places was extreme. We had to take the tram, which meant a lot of waiting, but at least they had a tram. The distance to drag your luggage was difficult, to say the least. The staff were all friendly, the lagoon was fun and the food was good. The feeling was over the top as far as how grand it looked. The guests all seemed happy and enjoying."
