The Royal Sea Cliffs is a nice resort near the heart of Kona. The restaurants/shops aren’t easily walkable but a very short drive or Uber will get you there. It is a super fun town! We went to Fish Hoppers for New Year’s Eve and had one of our best meals in Hawaii. The unit was clean. We were ground level but up near the ocean. The adult only pool and hot tub were a nice touch. If you go to the 5th floor there is seating for a small group to watch the sunset. We loved that feature. We had a little snafu with our booking but when it was discovered Joy worked with us immediately to take care of it. Joy is a super responsive host and I would book with her again.
