1. Location    Outrigger Royal Sea Cliff Resort is located on the western shore, between Kailua-Kona town (2 miles away) and the Keauhou Golf Course.    White 5-story buildings sit a little back from the ocean for maximum privacy and views. The resort is close to the water, but there is no beach because the coastline consists of black lava rocks and no sand. At night, the sound of the waves crashing into the cliffs is amazing, it will lull you to sleep in no time.    Central courtyard, with its cascading stream, tropical flowers and flowing bouganvillea vines is a peaceful garden within this dramatic setting. From the atrium, follow the pale pink tiled path that lead you through the garden down to the ocean. 2. Rooms    For the price of a moderate hotel room, you'll get a spacious apartment furnished in tropical rattan with a sunny lanai. The lanai is really large, with wide sliding doors to take in the view and the sound of the surf.    The kitchen has absolutely everything - a full-size refrigerator, stove, microwave, coffee maker and dishwasher, as well as cookware and tableware, plenty of counter space and storage space.   Each of the 50 condos features: Air-conditioning Private lanai Color cable TV Full kitchen Washer/dryer Iron and board Hair dryer on request In-room safe (fee) Daily maid service Non-smoking rooms available 3. Restaurants    Outrigger Royal Sea Cliff Resort does not have an on-site restaurant, but there are quite a few restaurants and cafes located within 1-2 miles. Here are our 3 favorite places:    1) Huggo's – 0.7 miles away, at 75-5828 Kahakai Road in Kona (small road behind Snorkel Bob's on Alii Drive)    For the last 30 years, Huggo's earned a reputaion as Kona’s premiere restaurant for fresh seafood, oceanfront ambiance and casual elegance. You will enjoy a memorable view of the ocean from its open windows situated above the rocks. If you are lucky, you will see Manta Rays and moray eels in the well-lit shore waters.    The majority of menu items feature island fish, exquisitely prepared in Pacific Rim or Mediterranean style. As Bon Appetit magazine said, every day, the local fishermen bring their big catches directly to the restaurant’s door for the chef’s discriminating inspection.    Dinner entrees include: Seafood Linguine    Fresh Island Fish, Shrimp, Tomatoes, Macadamia Nut Pesto, Shitake Mushrooms, Garlic in a Sherry Cream Sauce, Grilled Vegetable Relish, Parmesan-Reggiano Cheese. Shrimp and Fish Stir Fry    Jumbo Shrimp, Fresh Island Fish, Garden Vegetables, Wok Seared in an Oyster, Garlic, Sherry Sauce, Chukka Soba Noodles. New York Steak    12 Ounces of Certified Angus Beef, Brandy Green Peppercorn Sauce. Wasabi Macadamia Nut Mashed Potatoes, Asparagus, Frizzled Onions.    After dinner, try dancing in the open ocean air to live music. Every night there is a different performer, group or entertainer.      2) Tropics Cafe – 0.8 miles away, at Royal Kona Resort    Here you will experience an interesting blend of flavors from around the world. Breakfast, lunch and dinner menus feature freshest Hawaiian-style fare, with ingredients coming straight from the Big Island's gardens. Be adventurous and order something new, or stick with your favorites - either way, you may end up taking home a whole new style of cooking.      3) Windjammer Lounge – 0.8 miles away, at Royal Kona Resort    Each evening, this bar is the place to be for dancing, live entertainment and cocktail specials. It overlooks Kalua Bay's splashing surf, and, if you get here early, you can enjoy amazing sunset view. 4. Things to do Beach activities    Although the beach in front of the Outrigger Royal Sea Cliff Resort is non-swimmable because of the cliffs (most of the Kona Coast is that way), there are tide pools where you can explore for fish and crabs.    The nearest sandy beach where you can swim and snorkel is about a mile away.   Other facilities include: 2 swimming pools (sea-water and fresh-water) Scenic sundeck with panoramic ocean views Jacuzzi Sauna Free tennis courts Oceanfront barbecue areas Activities desk Laundry/dry cleaning valet (fee) Free self-parking	Entrance: Atrium: Master bedroom: Second bedroom: Kitchen: Living room: Ocean view: Oceanfront table at Huggo's: Pool: Jacuzzi: Sundeck:
