We are staying at the Royal Kona where this bar is located. We have been in this bar everynight for an evening cocktail for the last 4 nights. The mai tais are terrific, the food is avarage and the service has been absolutley terrible everynight. We have had 3 different servers and been served by the bartender, and all of... More

Don's Mai Tai Bar, located in the Royal Kona Resort, is a lovely waterfront lounge, open and airy, literally at the water's edge. Get there early if you want to get a table at the water (and for best unobstructed views). Drinks here are great, well prepared and served with a smile and the offered bar food on the menu... More

Just hard to beat the wonderful location and the classic Mai Tai, or one of their other twists. Service was fine but far from excellent. To me this is a place you go to about an hour before sunset, have a few drinks and then go elsewhere. If you come on a Wednesday you'll get to see the last tenders... More

The hamburgers are juicy and the sweet potatoes are delicious. Drinks were a little strong for me but my husband thought they were very good. The Bloody... More

Have been to Kona yearly for the last 20+ years so I have been coming here annually. This year they have outdone themselves. Before the food and drinks were decent -much like other places but nothing to make it stand out. This year the service was great, the food was delicious. The hamburgers were outstanding along with the sweet potatoe... More

The food and service were good. Our table overlooked the shore with waves breaking 20 to 50 feet from us. As guests in the hotel, we also got coupons for use for any non-happy hour purchases. More
