      "Comfy and great location." Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 26, 2013

      This hotel is nothing fancy but it is very comfortable. Our room was on the street side overlooking the pool. The hotel is located at a busy intersection on one side (the pool side) and the waterfront is on the other side, across the street. It is located at the very end of the long stretch of tourist shops, hotels and restaurants and I liked being away from the busiest action. About a block from a quiet, little sandy beach with snorkeling, calm swimming and board/kayak rentals. Also walking distance from fast food, a big box store, and a good brewery/restaurant. I can think of only a couple of "cons"- there were teeny tiny ants in our bathroom so we couldn't leave anything setting out and the fact that nothing in the area is open late. We arrived at night and had difficulty finding a place to eat nearby. Some of my family members stayed at a more expensive hotel up the street but I would stay at this hotel again. Perfectly comfortable for those that do not intend to spend much time in the room anyway.

      "" Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 23, 2013

      My wife and my stay at the Aston Shores at Waikoloa was superior. We had a two-bedroom, two-bath unit and there was a deck that went off both bedrooms and the large livingroom-dining room...The staff was outstanding...The cleanliness was perfect...The location couldn't have been better. The Aston Shores is part of a larger resort area that has two big malls that included several outstanding restaurants, and a golf course...For those looking to exercise, there is plenty of room to walk around the complex...You don't need to leave the Aston Shores but if you so choose, you are not far from the wonderful town of Kona with all its restaurants and shops...We wish we didn't have to leave but our vacation was over and we had to return home.

    Overview of Royal Kona Resort - Kailua-kona

    Location. With a dramatic oceanfront setting that overlooks picturesque Kailua Bay, the Royal Kona Resort stands within walking distance of the quaint fishing village of Kailua-Kona with its many fine restaurants, shops, historical sites and activities. Captain Cook Monument is a 30-minute drive from the resort and Parker Ranch, a working Hawaiian ranch that offers outdoor adventures, is located less than two miles from the property.


    Hotel Features. The Royal Kona Resort features a natural salt-water swimming lagoon and sandy sunning area, in addition to a split-level freshwater pool and children's pool. The resort features four tennis courts, the Lotus Center Massage and Spa and on-property shops. Guests can experience oceanfront dining and entertainment at the acclaimed Don the Beachcomber Restaurant and Tiki Bar. Pacific Rim cuisine highlights include prime rib, seafood selections and the restaurant's signature dish, Huli Huli chicken prepared in the exhibition-style kitchen. Royal Kona Resort's popular seaside Luau is served in a scenic coconut grove on selected weekdays. Guests can stay in touch while traveling via wireless Internet access throughout the resort (surcharge).

    Guestrooms. The Royal Kona Resort offers 452 air-conditioned guestrooms positioned in three wings. Accommodations feature balconies or patios with gardens, mountain or ocean views. Amenities include refrigerators, coffeemakers and cable television. All rooms are non-smoking.

    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.

    Royal Kona Resort Kailua-Kona

    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.

    We liked the old world feel of the resort. It was well kept and the staff was generally friendly and accommodating.

    We upgraded to a full ocean view room on a corner - it was a very nice room with windows on two sides that open to a patio with lounge chairs. Nice view of the ocean and pool. The hotel staff was very friendly and helpful. Parking gets busy around the luau times, but with the permit there's no problem. Close enough to walk down the main strip to all […] attractions and restaurants. The Beachcomber restaurant both food and service was excellent. Overall a very good value. Read more

    Kona was my last of 4 island trip 4/27 to 5/4/2013. Absolutely love Kona. The Royal Kona location A+, serivice, A+, room with partial view was actually full view great. Did not spend much time in the room, mostly to sleep.Now, the place is a little dated and could use some new carpet etc.. BTW, if you want some great, not good, great mexican food, go […] to Rosa's Catina. Live music and the weekends, nice vibe, amazing view. Overall, would stay there again no doubt, MAHALO! Read more

    My wife and I stayed there May 2-7th, 2013. Excellent location, helpful and friendly staff. Within walking distance of many excellent places to eat. Pass parking on premises. Only complaint was the available hot water for showers. It was lukewarm at best. Strange because sinks had hot water. Maintenance looked at it but no help. Other rooms had same […] problem-day and night. Excellent restaurant on site (Don the Beachcomer) only open Thurs-Fri-Sat. Had Prime Rib and it was the best I've experienced. Overall Great Value for $ Would stay again. Read more

    This is a wonderful hotel, it's very close within walking distance to shops and restaurants and is right on the water. It's an older hotel but has had many new renovations. The staff is very helpful, polite and professional. . It's 15 minutes away from the Kona/Kailua airport and is very reasonably priced. I'll definately stay here again!

    Great front desk service. Payed for an upgrade and got great view of the harbor at night. Didn't try the restaurants in the hotel, they are pricey and there are many other Kona places to try. Lovely environment as a whole and rooms were small but well set up. Happy with our one night stay on the way to the airport.

    I enjooyed this property although iwas only there for a night it was clean at first glance but when my wife detailed the bathroom the shower had a lot of mold growing areound the shower area where the handicap seat in the shower is. i thought it was black caulking but I verified and it was MOLD thick and could have easily been taken care of with some […] bleach and water. It doesn't apper they noticed this fungus. ok now for the good.. the weather was awesome, it was 80 degrees and sunny, no VOG. The grounds were well kept the Coi ponds were full of fish and the staff were very friendly. The walls are a bit thin as we heard everything that was going on in the next room to us. theres a great expedia expert downstairs that can help plan your activities as well as reserve your activities. Over all I give this place 4 **** stars. Beware of the Mai Tai at dons it packs a sneak attack. I only had one and it creeped up like a bomb shell . not complaining at all but the old saying you can never go wrong if its strong. You can't tell as it is a very well made drink.. the sunset views from Dons after this drink will be unforgettable.. Read more

    Rooms could use updating, carpet quite dirty and bathroom very old. Nevertheless, good value for the money in Hawaii. Paid extra for room with water view and it was worth it. Staff nice. Bar cafe reasonable value for quality of food. Note, no real beach in area, prepare to rent car if you want a beach. Nice pool but small for size of hotel.

    Royal Kona resort is very conveniently located in the city center. Me and my boyfriend really enjoyed our stay at the Royal Kona. We had a absolutely breathe taking ocean view room. The room was quite spacious and clean. The hotel charges $10 parking, however our entire stay we found street parking on the compund so we didnt spend a dime on parking. […] :-) I would defiantly recommend this hotel to friends and family.

    Except for having messed up our confirmed reservation (for some unintelligible reason the hotel canceled our reservation the morning of our day of arrival) the hotel proved to be a great base location for exploring Kona and the west side of the Big Island. Because of the hotel's messing up our confirmed reservation, we were given a room with a loud […] A/C unit for our first night. After accepting their responsibility for messing up our confirmed reservation, the hotel manager agreed to change our room for a better ocean view and gave us free parking for the duration of our stay. I would rate our room as good but not outstanding for the money. Read more

    Sometimes I wonder when reading reviews what do people think. My idea of reviews is you through out the worst and the best and you read the ones in the middle, since these are the people giving the most honest reviews. So here is my review. Overall I was surprised. This is not and will never be the 5 star resorts found in Waikoloa, nor should it be […] for the price they are charging. I would give a 4 out of 5 for what they are offering. It was clean, bed not too bad and it did give off a bit of a Hawaii vibe. If I had to complain about anything the pillows are not to good, but do I find any hotel pillows to my liking for that is probably more my fault than theirs. The big plus is location location location. It is right there in Kona. For me Kona holds a special place in my heart because I am an Ironman. This is where the Ironman World Championships are held every year in October. Having the chance to run on the roads where such great athletes run was great and having this right out my doorstep was awesome. Plus the Kona Aquatics center was right down the road and I got to swim (free by the way) in one great pool. All in all don't listen to the negative reviews. It is a nice place, checked us in early and clean. Read more

    There was a few employees - that really lacked customer service. That said there was a couple that were awesome. Room 375 1- Security issues - had someone hopping on our deck in middle of night looking in room. Could tell someone was in our room going through stuff and left things not ours. It also appeared vacant rooms were being given to street people […] some nights. 2- Asked for towels at front desk one night and they said they did not have any ?????? would have to wait for morning 3- The resort needs updated. The beds were like sleeping on plywood. Need more comfortable chairs in the room staying 10 days - more like stuff chairs. A table between the patio chairs would be nice. FyI - We communicated our security concerns, but never heard back from manager on anything. Read more

    The room was nice, clean and had a pretty view of the lagoon area. The main grounds are really beautiful and the staff was courteous. We also went to their luau and it was worth the money for sure. It is in walking distance to tons of things (restaurants, shops, paddle boarding). The only downside is having to pay for parking. The spots are tight in […] some sections and we saw one woman hit another car and walk away. I loved watching the waves crashing at night and would definitely stay here again! Read more

    Alii Drive remains a great place to stay in the heart of Kona...but the Royal Kona Resort is typical of properties in the area...a bit faded, perhaps struggling a bit. This hotel looks like it was once operating as a 4 star hotel. But now the towels are a bit thin. The toiletries match what youd' get at a Best Western, a lamp had to be plugged and unplugged […] to get it to operate. Hmmmm..... But then again, Kona is really expensive in the "high season", but this hotel is not, and here we are, right on the downtown strip, right on the ocean. So, all in all, a good bargain to be comfortable enough in a great location.... Condo rentals may still be the best bet in Kona. Read more

    The Location to shopping and dinning is the best. Sunsets from the patio bar are the best on the island. On our last day the hotel staff let us come back and shower prior to catching our late evening flight ... Very customer focused!

    The resort is one the most "touristy" areas of the island. Great places to eat, drink and be merry- very close to pubs, coffee shops, great restaurants. We are vegetarians and we found great vegetarian and vegan foods in the restaurants nearby- acai bowls, salads, paninis, burgers, thai curries.. nearly everything could be vegetarian. The resort restaurants […] has some great salads and pizzas too!! The views from the resort are great.. it was lovely to sit at the beach with a view of the ocean, sipping on cocktails. The spa (lotus center) was wonderful- I had a massage, facial and reflexology- simply heavenly. The rooms were okay. They were clean, but not spotless. The shower pressure in the bath was too much and very uncomfortable. There was also some dirty water that came up the sink.. weird. Overall, our stay was pleasant- great location, awesome resort facilities, average rooms. Definitely recommended! Read more

    It would be unfair for us to rally rate the facility as we only stayed there a matter of 8 hours and almost all of it being asleep. But on the whole, it was a very satisfactory stay.
