Kailua-Kona, Hawaii hotel rooms at the Independent

"Amazing in every way."

"We had such a wonderful time while staying here. Location is 10 out of 10. You do not need a car ;restaurants, shopping and public transportation are within walking distance). A special THANK YOU and shout out to Tisha. She was the person who greeted us when we arrived and also the person who helped us with check out. Tisha was so pleasant to interact with and incredibly professional. This is a busy season and the front desk was super busy at all times. So we greatly appreciated the outstanding customer service delivered not only by front desk staff but throughout the whole hotel. Mahalo from the bottom of our hearts. "

"I love the Royal Kona and will likely stay every time I visit the Big Island! It’s a great price point with fantastic amenities available, as well as being family-friendly. I did notice some availability issues, which is always surprising to me because it seems a touch unreasonable to overbook nowadays, especially when some folks are coming in on international flights. Most everyone on staff is professional but I can understand that particular frustration, though I was lucky to dodge that issue this time. With that small note aside, the food was amazing as usual, spa treatment was luxurious and necessary, and the pool area was well maintained like it has been on every previous visit! I’m so grateful to have been able to spend Christmas in Kona at my favorite resort :)"

"ホテル自体はすごく良かったですが、立地が悪い。無料バスもありますが定員オーバーだと乗れないので注意です。ただ、ホテルは良いです"

"Overall, the service was excellent. The room was cleaned daily, and the front desk staff were very friendly and attentive in taking care of guests"

"What a amazing resort! My husband and I took our 80+ year old parents! They had there own condo and I can't say enough good stuff about this resort! The pool was perfect, the restaurant was delicious, the entertainment was so fun every night, the staff was unbelievable keeping my parents well taking care of and just overall each one of them was the best! It was within walking distance to groceries, tons of restaurants! Couldn't ask for a better lifetime experience for us! And we were so excited the volcano erupted while we were there! Thank u Kona resort! If I could give them a 10 it would be 11!"
