Fairmont Orchid

The Fairmont Orchid is an absolutely beautiful property with its own small private beach. The room was fantastic, clean, and WELL maintained. They even went as far as to line up my girlfriend’s jewelry. Quite above and beyond if you ask me. Parking on the property isn’t free unfortunately. We didn’t eat/drink on the property as the prices are rough. That is par for the course in Hawaii though. There really aren’t many affordable options in the area unfortunately. Highly recommend the Fairmont Orchid except for the one visitor we had… (see picture) yuk.

Highlights for us were the lagoon pool, snorkling in a protected cove and dinner at Brown's Beach House. The location was great for us for exploring the Big Island. We really liked the reusable water bottle and filling stations. I've only seen this at one other hotel before and it was a pleasant surprise. We had a king sized room with an angled ocean view. The room was well appointed and very comfortable. Our view was out over the resort and was spectacular. We also really enjoyed the trail that you can walk south from the resort along the coast. I couldn't give 5 stars because there were a few things I would change: more shade poolside, you do need to get down to the pool early to score an umbrella; the beach is not that desirable to hang out and relax on; and a broken elevator in the north building meant that we had a very long walk back to our room from the pool.

What a beautiful property ! The staff is very friendly and accommodating. The rooms are clean and spacious. We loved getting our own water bottles. The pools are great and the beach access is so much fun . I would love to stay at the Fairmont orchid again! PS you need to try the sticky buns at the cafe

We stayed on the gold floor and I cannot recommend it enough. The staff was exceptional up there. I did have an issue with a tour guide, trying to pick me up out front and the valets telling him he could not do that. Hopefully they’ll get that stuff worked out. Otherwise it was amazing.

The resort hotel is located about an half hour north of the airport in Kona. The outdoor landscaping is awesome. The grounds look like you’re in paradise. There’s a beach that’s part of the property. You can rent snorkeling equipment, surf boards, kayaks and other water equipment. The snorkeling was a lot of fun with numerous schools of beautiful fish you could see. The food at the restaurants was expensive but there's a grocery store and other less expensive restaurants that are a walking distance away. The interior needs a little TLC. The carpet looked like it was overdue for a shampoo. The room needed a little more cleaning. It was dusty in some areas and the bathtub and floor in the bathroom were dirty. It took a few minutes for the shower to warm up. For some reason because of the humidity the door to exit to the hallway was sticking. I and my boyfriend had a hard time opening it. The chain lock was hard to use too. We called maintenance. They made adjustments to the hinge which helped a little. We had a garden room with a doorway to the outside. You could see people walking on the walkway when sitting there so it wasn’t very private. The staff at the resort were all very friendly and helpful. All in all we enjoyed our stay but I think we will select a different hotel if we ever return to the Big Island.

The pool is the best you’ll find and the food and service are first class. The grounds are beautiful and position on the ocean with the beach is perfect. The bed is the most comfortable I’ve ever slept in.

It is expensive.

Outstanding property.
