This renowned luxury oceanfront resort is situated on a black lava-rock cliff overlooking the blue pacific and has recently undergone a multi-million dollar renovation. This pleasant Hawaiian resort is located on 10 acres of lush tropical grounds, has an oceanfront swimming pool with hot tub and an oceanfront-swimming lagoon on a private beach. It is conveniently located near shopping and a championship golf course. It has internet access, a resort spa, and an outside Jacuzzi – where you can Jacuzzi under the stars while listening to the wave’s crash against the lava shoreline below. It is within a short walking distance to the quaint shopping village of Kona. Rooms have lanais (balconies). This is “An Oceanfront Landmark in the Heart of Kailua-Kona”.

This Resort is a must for my family and me when we visit the Big-Island. It is located a good distance from the volcanoes – but is an interesting drive filled with much diverse scenery. We usually take a tour to the volcano field anyway – and let the knowledgeable tour guides share the fascinating facts about the volcano. Wait till you hear their beliefs about Pele’s hair! I learn something new each time we visit Volcano National Park. Akaka Falls and Rainbow Falls are musts during your drive (or tour) along with the Punaluu black sand beach.

I choose the Kona side of the island for my resort due to the year-round perfect weather on this side of the island – unlike the east side. And memories of the brilliant golden sunsets seen from the Royal Kona Resort will stay with you for a lifetime. Learn more about this awesome resort.
