"We stayed 3 nights and the Royal Kona is close to shops and restaurants. The property is showing its age and some areas are under renovation. Staff were helpful and baggage and valet staff were working their tails off."
"The ranch was fascinating, peaceful, and refreshing. The breakfast was fantastic. The staff was splendid. We could not have asked for a better start to our first ever visit to Hawaii!

"It’s like staying in a cool treehouse. My room was very spacious and quiet. The hotel has no staff on site but easy enough to contact if you need anything (I didn’t need to contact them for anything though). Definitely a cool place to stay."
"The challenge with the property is there are a set of bylaws that renters agree to regarding things like observing quiet hours and no smoking in common areas. We drew the short straw for the bulk of our stay. We had a first floor unit with a group of 4 younger adults directly above us. One of the young women was having some sort of existential crisis that lead the group to sit on their patio and drink and smoke pot from 11:30 pm till after sunup. They were still at when checked out early at 7:30am. Their voices carried half way down the road to the beach. Over the course of 48 hours, we got to hear about how their parents raised them; different sizes/types of blunts; what a terrible person one was by their one admonition; professed devotion (unrequited btw) of going to the end of the earth for a friend; trying same sex relationships; and on and on it went. Then the table on the balcony got knocked over with sound of breaking glass with beer and other liquids pouring of the edge of their balcony. Did we get much sleep? No. If you do stay there make absolutely sure you’re on the top floor. Otherwise it’ll sound like a moving company is overhead."
"Proximity to the park and the town of Volcano was great. Easy parking. Quiet. There is no human on-site but they thought of everything you might need. On the downside, there was no AC so it was hot one night, the decor feels very much like a hodge-lodge of items, and Bathroom lighting was really low and dingy. On the upside, big room that could have easily slept 4 if we needed it to."
