“Royal Kona Resort sits right in the heart of Kona, an older property in a prime walkable location that places guests near historic shops and dining. I think the lagoon, though small, stands out-it's a unique saltwater pool ideal for beginners and families, plus there's an in-house luau for a taste of Hawaiian culture.”
