Don the Beachcomber

Kitschtastic with a view . Housemade salad dressings . Pro service with a casual vibe . There's better locally-sources restaurants in Kailua-Kona (Rapanui, for example), but there's only one Don's.

Try the Mai Tai sampler

Among the biggest attractions of the Royal Kona Resort are the stunning sunset views from the Polynesian-themed restaurant , Don the Beachcomber, headed by the Executive Chef Ken Omiya. Read more

Go to catch the sunset on a night that the hotel is having their luau...you can see the entertainment from Don's for a fraction of the cost.

Get the Lava Tube for dessert ! Kahlua , amaretto , coconut run and vanilla ice cream . Best milkshake ever!!!

The glory days are long past, for real tiki head up the street to Okolemaluna for a real tiki drink .

Best views , great puu puus, what more do you need?

The lilikoi vinaigrette salad dressing is sooo good!

Home of the original Mai Tai - try the sampler!

Don's is only open for dinner Thurs through Sunday. 5:30-9pm

Try the Mai Tai or Mojito sampler, yum!

Rum and pineapple tastes better when there are hot girls at the pool. So, maybe better go elsewhere.

Don't believe anything Matt Drew says.

Not as good as it used to be.

Agree with earlier tips. Horrible service and the food wasn't much better.

Been here twice but haven't eaten there yet. Is this place ever open for service?

Tip: Don't be in a hurry. The service is horrible, even by Hawaiian standards.
