We stayed at Royal Kona for 2 nights and were satisfied with our stay and the amenities. We had a room with a balcony facing the bay. Yes the building is older so when you get on the balcony you can see some chipped plaster work. There is a very nice on-site open-air restaurant. The highlight of our stay was the Salt Water lagoon which was amazing. Some of the rocks are sharp and there are sea urchins so highly recommend water shoes. The room was good size. The pool is smaller for the size of the property so some of you may feel it’s crowded, for us it was no bother as we didn’t go there to lounge at the pool. Proximity to shops and food options was another plus for us. Parking was quite full, but we found parking no issue. Short walk back to the main lobby.

We booked the Ali Tower at standard rate. They gave us a upgrade to ocean view at the Bay Tower, because they didn’t not have 2 beds.
