Nana Royal Premium Resort (ex. Knossos Royal)

Wife and I found Royal Kona for first trip to Hawaii back in 2018 and fell in love. 8 years and 6 visits later, we won’t look anywhere else. Every stay continues to amaze us. The location, atmosphere, rooms, and value, are fantastic. The Staff is beyond excellent! To the front desk, check in, house keeping, pool attendants, gift shop employees , and Don’s Mia Tie Bar Hosts. Thank you All! We cannot wait to come back.

Kona Royal on Alii building room 286 was awesome cold ace was perfect planning next stay mahalo

We had an absolute fabulous time. The room was great. The food was fantastic and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

The place is going through renovation which made the entrance difficult to find, wish that was included in the details when I stayed here.

The hotel, room, pool and Staff were wonderful. What needs to be looked at is the restaurant. We waited 10min after being sat for anyone to greet us, then our order was placed, drinks received and we did not see anyone for 45 min. Not to refill drinks, ask if we wanted another alcohol beverage, see if we are ok or explain why it is taking so long. Then my food came out and it was cold. The reason for the delay was "the kitchen was backed up", meanwhile there were four tables in the whole restaurant that were sat. Even if the kitchen was backed up with 4 of the prob 30+ tables they have it does not excuse the horrible service. I would have had more drinks and prob not even noticed how long the food was taking but no one came to us at all. Might as well have been take out.

My husband and I enjoyed our stay very much! The whole staff was extremely friendly. The food at the restaurant was amazing and you have a great view of the sunset from the pool or dining area. I’d happily recommend it!

We had a great time st this resort! The bed in the room was so comfortable, and we were lulled to sleep every night by waves right outside our window. We had breakfast and a dinner at the on-site restaurant and both meals were delicious. The sitting area close to check-in was so peaceful to sit in one afternoon and read a book with Koi swimming nearby and the ocean in view. We took advantage of the yoga class one morning as well and that was a nice bonus. This was our first visit to the big island and we feel lucky that we found a great place to stay!

Amazing location, ample parking, walkable to downtown shops, and restaurants. Beautiful ocean views and nice restaurant on site. Rooms are clean and comfortable. Only complaint is the (damn) birds making noise at night from the giant trees inside the hotel - but some people like that I guess.

I took a mother-daughtrr trip with my teenager to Hawaii. Upon arrival we were given an amazing top floor room with beautiful views of the ocean & sunsets. I could hear ocean waves crashing upon the shore every evening. The luau had traditionally cooked Hawaiian food, hula dancers, story telling and fire dancing. The staff at the Royal Kona are friendly and nice. Our waiter at the luau was thoughtful enough to bring us some Shirley Temples while we ate which I thought was a nice gesture towards someone who brought their teenager. I t's my second visit to The Royal Kona & I would highly recommend. It's close to Kona town and walking distance to many places.

Great location, friendly staff, beautiful view, nice beach bar… will definitely stay at Royal Kona Resort again!
