Don the Beachcomber at the Royal Kona Resort

Don the Beachcomber at the Royal Kona Resort Review

The "original home of the mai tai," Don the Beachcomber includes a cool mai tai bar (bar service is slow, so sit back and enjoy the view) and has recently become a popular local spot for lunch, thanks to fresh ono sandwiches and addictive sweet-potato fries. Dinners are priced like those at the Kohala Coast resort restaurants (high), but the location offers the absolute best view in town of Kailua Bay. Try any of the nightly seafood specials or the Huli Huli Chicken, but the Paniolo prime rib is the star attraction, slow roasted for flavor and tenderness. Save room for the Molten Lava Cake.
