Kailua Kona Resorts

It is a beautiful resort, peope are very friendly. The additional charge per day. Charge is for parking use of telephone etc. Don't use the phone and if no car why do you have to pay this? Plus then you get limited cleaning service but an additional $200+ is added to your bill. If you are paying the amout you pay for the resort, parking should be part of it . Bar at pool closes too early. No discount on activities for guest to do different tours, found that surprising. Usually you get at least 10% off if you book through the hotel

The resort itself is very nice. The pool is exceptional place to relax (not so much swim as it's shallow) but overall very nice. The view is amazing right along the coast too. The staff is wonderful and we even did some of the classes on lei making and such. The property could use some repair. Our balcony chairs were completely worn out, the wicker broken and missing and this caused clothing to get snagged. The bathroom was in need of paint as well. Nothing that some attention to detail couldn't remedy quickly.

Pool, cleanliness, comfort, view, things for kids to do. Slow elevators, distance from Kailua town, pricey food and drink.

The grounds were really nice, it was cool to watch the manta ray boats in the evening, and the waves crashing on the cliffs at sunrise. The rooms were nice and clean, it was a really nice stay for the price. Our ocean view room did have a glimpse of the ocean, but there was a parking lot and another building between us and the ocean and we really couldn't hear the waves from our room.

Resort facilities were amazing and staff was exceptionally helpful. We will be making this our annual vacation. Rooms could use updates, but any time we told the staff of any issue they immediately took care of it and went above and beyond to make sure we were happy.

We stayed Sunday-Weds and it wasn't crowded/busy at all and so relaxing. We loved the grounds of the resort and the open/airiness of the hotel. We walked arounds all the ponds and looked at the fish and enjoyed the cabanas on the beach. Although we didn't as much advantage of it, there are free workout classes (yoga, pilates, etc) and free usage of the snorkel gear, kayaks, and bikes. The shuttles that can take you to the Fairmont, the Shops (with grocery), and the gym/spa was very convenient. Everyone was very friendly at the hotel. We had an ocean view room where we could view the pool area too and we were able to watch the gorgeous sunset from our balcony every night. Our king bed room was very spacious with double sinks. I would definitely stay here again. Not a huge deal, but there were some ants in the bathroom and when I left a can of juice out on our coffee table. We also ate at the Honu bar (spelling?) the new bar and it was just the 2nd night it opened. The food and drinks were overpriced for the atmosphere of the bar, which looks like it was put together with random leftover furniture. I think if they invested more into the ambience the food/drink price would be better matched or keep that space as a casual cafe. It would be nice to have a more casual priced restaurant at the resort, where you could grab coffee, drinks, and sandwiches. I felt like the eating options were limited.

Beautiful grounds and great treatment Nothing

Exquisite! Paradise! This facility is outstanding! It was more than I expected! Very plush, tranquil ponds and water falls with lots of exotic plants, fish ponds, beautiful beach front and grounds! Inside is beautiful and well maintained. Good breakfast buffet selection and menu items. A little pricey, but all of Hawaii is pricey! Loved our stay and look forward to returning! Aloha!

Awesome hotel!! Stayed in a bungalow!!!! Loved everything about it!!!

Ultra friendly staffs, free snorkeling gear, free cabanas, luxurious rooms. Nothing

I stayed for 7 nights for my honeymoon and we were given a 2 bedroom oceanview condo. It was such so large and roomy. We were kept stocked with towels which come in handy for the beach. The staff was extremely helpful and very friendly. The hotel was clean and the garden down the middle is spectacular. The location of the hotel from town I thought was a perfect distance away. Not too close with all the commotion and traffic but still close enough to walk it if you had to. Overall we had a pleasant stay at the royal sea cliff. I would definitely go back.

Booking last minute on a search engine made me a little wary, but I absolutely loved the property & amenities. I was a single female travellor & felt totally safe. The location was a nice walk into town, beautiful ocean views & super friendly staff!!

stayed at this hotel from April 20th thru the 25th, 2013 and loved every minute staff was polite and helpful, good location, wonderful pools, will come back and bring family

This was a great home base for us. We stayed in unit 408, with two bedrooms and two bathrooms. It was tastefully decorated and felt like a home away from home. The landscaping was lovely, but the outside of the buildings weren't much to look at. The pool areas were located close to the ocean but were locked until 9:00. I would have liked to sit near the pool and have coffee in the mornings. In the afternoon and evening the pools were overrun by families with loud young children. I'd request adult swim hours if I were a year round resident. There were some minor issues with the room that I hope the property owners/management do not neglect. A pocket door in the second bath did not slide properly and would not close completely. The toilets required the handle jiggle technique and, even though I reminded my 3 teens, we came home once and one was still running. The front door deadbolt is broken, although there is a separate latch for added security when we were in the room. The ceilings ar...
