    Happily Over Night

    Our overnight stay in Lagoon Tower was relaxing. Room was clean, comfortable and nicely decorated. Wendy at front desk was very helpful at check in, got early check in and late checkout. Grounds are beautiful and serine. Plenty of parking and solid WiFi. Lovely atrium allows easy stair walk up or elevator. There’s no business center but desk was happy to print documents I needed for Zoom meeting. I shopped before booking. This was least expensive (non dive) in Kailua town. Wife and I really enjoyed it. Would stay again.

    Will be back

    We had a wonderful trip during Covid. All staff we encountered was gracious and kind. Masks were required. Pool area is beautiful with the crashing waves. We were lucky to have an oceanfront room. Bed was comfy and sheets crisp. We can't wait to come back

    Quick and supported

    It was quick to check-in. I appreciated the text follow-ups. And I especially liked checking out by text. It was a pleasant experience. I enjoyed a clean, quiet room with an excellent view of the moutains. Easy access to town, as well.

    Excellent Business Vacation

    It had been a few years since our last stay at the Royal Kona Resort, and what a great surprise to come back. The recently remodeled rooms were nice, comfortable, and you can't beat the location! It's close to everything you need, and the pool and bar are right on the waters edge. The entire staff was full of aloha, and very helpful with any of our needs. Great stay, and we will definitely be back.
