STAY ANYWHERE BUT HERE
Caroline M on May 18, 2025
Upon check in, we were VERY briefly told about where our room was and very few other details. There is no bellman or carts available for use. The resort charges $25 for parking and $25 resort fee. The buil...ding is run down, the staff is incredibly rude and to be completely honest, extremely unhelpful, especially the host at the Mai Tai Bar with darker hair. The bartenders were ignoring us because we had our coupon for our complimentary mai tai’s out on the bar, so we waited 15+ minutes watching them do ANYTHING else but serve us. There wasn’t even a full bar and everyone else was taken care of. The rooms and building is run down. I called housekeeping twice asking for blankets and waited over 45 minutes. The laziness around this property is not worth a stay, and it was unpleasant. Please do your research because this being labeled a resort is a joke.

We had to cancel a VRBO that was not as advertised and booked a room at the Royal Kona last minute. Ann at the front desk gave us top notch customer service. We had a great ocean view room. The resort has ...a charming 1960s retro vibe with a Tiki bar with an ocean view. The resort has more character than places like the Marriott that looks like a shopping mall inside.
