Royal Kona Resort - An oceanfront resort with saltwater lagoon, traditional luau shows, and Pacific dining

Set along the lava rock shores of Kailua Bay, this Kailua-Kona hotel features a private saltwater swimming lagoon and an oceanfront pool adjacent to Don's Mai Tai Bar. The property's Don the Beachcomber Restaurant provides 180-degree views of the Pacific Ocean while serving Hawaiian and international cuisine crafted with local ingredients. Daily cultural activities include hula lessons, ukulele classes, and lei making workshops. The Royal Kona Tennis Club offers four courts with night lighting capabilities and a pro shop. A fitness center operates from 4:30 AM to 10:30 PM, while the Massage & Spa Center provides both Eastern and Western treatments. Located 12.5 miles from Kona International Airport, the resort sits within walking distance of the Coconut Grove Marketplace's boutiques, cafés, and art galleries.

Pros

Protected saltwater lagoon ideal for beginner snorkelers

Weekly 'Legends of Hawaiian Music' concerts showcase award-winning local artists

Voyagers of the Pacific Luau features authentic Polynesian performances and fire knife shows

On-site Mai Tai Bar serves 10 varieties of Mai Tais and 16 draft beers

Cons

12.5 miles distance from Kona International Airport

Pool is unheated

“This oceanfront property stands out for its rare saltwater lagoon, a safe haven for beginner snorkelers and families, coupled with its proximity to Kailua-Kona. The in-house luau is a convenient way to experience Hawaiian culture, and the updated rooms provide adequate comfort after a day of exploring. For travelers seeking a balance of cultural experiences and accessibility, this hotel presents a reasonable option.”
