It was ok for the price, yet would never return to it. The property is old and run down. We were on the street side and every night between 2 and 4 am were awake by people talking loud on the street and noises coming out of the street. The staff was just there not friendly or accomedating

I would not recommend the Royal Kona Resort. When we originally booked we booked a room with two doubles, and somewhere after we booked they changed it to a room with one king. Another family we were traveling with checked in before us and the same thing happened to them and said they couldn't give them a room with two doubles because the hotel was fully booked. We instantly called and tried get them to change our reservation to a room with two beds at which they told us 'there is no guarantee on rooms'. We then tried to cancel and book somewhere else but it was too late to cancel so we called Expedia for assistance. Expedia was great and called the hotel to get us the room we originally booked which the manager then said he would guarantee we'd get the room we booked. A couple days after our stay Royal Kona Resort charged us another $125 CAD which we're still trying to figure out what it was for, we think parking and taxes. Honestly one night at this hotel was so ridiculously expensive and we got a better rate from a nearby vacation home rental that was stocked with everything and had free parking. The rooms are QUITE dated and again do not reflect the price. The only nice thing I can say is the grounds and common lobby area are very nice. To sum up this review: I have never been so disappointed in a hotel, stay away.

The staff was very nice, the construction on site is minimal. However, what expedia is not clear on is that there is a $25 daily parking fee and $29 resort fee daily on top of the expedia rate. The Luau was $170 per person and no discount for resort guests. The beds were small, I guess we are use to queen beds in better hotels.
