Arriving on the Big Island of
Hawaii, we had three weeks in which to explore this paradise. We soon
discovered that it was a nature lovers paradise with its amazing beaches,
volcanoes, deep jungles, wildlife and giant waterfalls. We trekked
the volcano's, probed the rain forest, hiked the enchanted mountains and shopped for bargains
from mountain vendors and locals in small villages. We swam, sunbathed and kicked sand on every mile of
beach and everyday discovered something new and even most fascinating.
Bathed with Polynesian culture and hospitality the island is
exotic, beautiful and adventurous. Covered with rare tropical flowers and
bizarre plants, as well as mind boggling forests the island provides
excellent mountain
climbing and trekking, along with an endless array of water activities;
such as, surfing, canoeing, swimming, snorkeling, diving and superb deep sea fishing.
Whatever you do it will be in one of the world's most beautiful and
relaxing environments. While in the Royal Resort definitely book one of
their twice weekly authentic and traditional Luaus, where you will not
only be finely dined, but will be amazingly entertained by the fire
dancers. In addition, be sure to visit the islands
creator...the flowing lava fields. (Below pic. of

The large island
of Hawaii can be reached via short multi-daily flights from Honolulu and most other Hawaiian islands.
We had made lodging arrangements with the absolute best resort on the Island of Hawaii, "The Royal Kona Resort." We prefer
more natural and less obtrusive resorts and hotels and this resort
while offering the best location, amenities, etc. was built with nature in
mind. It blended into the scenery without disrupting the
balance and grandeur of nature, while preserving the
prehistoric landscape. It rested like a giant eagles nest perched on rocky cliffs overlooking the hypnotic waters
of the majestic bay. Man and nature blending their resources to create a
mixture of serenity and prestigious comfort. The Royal Kona Resort fulfilled our need
for tranquility, entertainment and inspirational bewilderment. Beaches,
excellent cuisine, fantastic lounges, phenomenal views, and staff that magically
appear when you want them and then warmly disappear leaving you to your
thoughts. Hawaii is famous for its inspiring sunsets and at the Royal Kona
you won't miss a one. (Above pics. Luaus Dancers) Twice weekly the staff perform their ancient fire
dance while preparing a Luau feast. The backdrop is a kaleidoscope of
oranges, reds, gold's and purples as the sun slowly submerges into the
swells of the conquering ocean. This night of festivities was once only
performed for kings, but now its being performed for visitors as a
celebration gift of
welcoming you to Hawaii.

Each of the Royal Kona Resort’s spacious guestrooms features a
large lanai with beautiful mountain vistas or magnificent ocean views.
