Top Magic Sands Beach Hotel Reviews

Royal Kona Resort

8/10 Good

"So, for what hotel is it was great! The staff was super friendly and helpful. The hotel is in great need of updating, but was clean enough (room wise). The desk clerk was amazing and let us check in early so we could freshen up for the luau. We had breakfast in the morning and it was so beautiful to watch the waves and dolphins while eating pretty good food. Its not a luxury hotel, but i would stay again for a few days as it was convenient to things to do and clean and a safe place"

8/10 Good

"The unit is updated and provided a perfect view of the ocean. It was a hotel-style accommodation—everything all in one room which was fine for a few days. The only negative is that the unit was hot and the portable AC worked hard to cool the room. Kari was very nice and quick to respond to any questions we had. Thank you so much for a lovely stay. Mahalo."
