Fairmont Orchid Hawaii (The) Guest Reviews
The Fairmont is great! The beach right in front of the hotel is perfect for kids all ages. It is like a swimming pool: no waves. My 2-year old son could stay in the water by himself, and my 8-year old daughter could go snorkeling too (we even saw turtles!) The staff is very courteous. I made a mistake in my checkout date and they were able to accommodate a late checkout. The food at the hotel is very good, although a bit pricey.

Located in Waikoala, which is about an hour north of Kona, it's located at a nice area between Kohala (north Big Island with mountains), and Kona. The hotel is beautiful, and there are numerous activities, like canoing, snorkeling with turtles, and luaus. The food is also very good. Located very close to Waikoala Beach Drive, where there are other shops and food options. Rooms are very comfortable. The compound is open and breezy and the staff is helpful. A perfect place to get away from it all!!!

From the moment we walked into the lobby, our vacation was perfect! The staff, hotel and grounds are wonderful. Every one of the hotel employees was friendly and helpful. The rooms were updated, clean, and had very comfortable beds. I would definitely come back for another vacation. I highly recommend this property for a relaxing get away. You don't even have to leave the grounds for anything...it's all right there. We went to the King's Gathering Luau, and were blown away by the delicious food, and excellent entertainment. It was the best luau we've been to in the islands (and we've been to lots of them). And again, you don't have to leave the resort to see it. Wonderful place!

My wife and I loved our stay here. They were very accommodating to us for our requests and the staff was generally pleasant and friendly. The grounds are beautiful, well manicured and feel comfortably classy. Everything felt well done and not at all about being gaudy and resort-esque. As an added bonus, green sea turtles often cruise their little rocky bay/beach. Great for a quick snorkeling trip- especially for kids. Our only complaints were that our shower never quite got hot, and that Kohala and Waikoloa are a 45 minute drive from activities based in Kailua-Kona. Our complaints were pretty minor and our 6 day stay felt way too short. We already miss it!

The Fairmont Orchid is absolutley beautiful in the perfect location. You can have a fantastic vacation without ever leaving the resort. The beach is beautiful and the shoreline snorkeling is great. There are many activities to hold the interest of every guest. The staff was friendly and offered outstanding service. The resort is fairly isolated so you must drive roughly 15 minutes to the closest dinning options outside the hotel. The area is pricey, but the Fairmont is extremely high. The lack of more reasonable dining options at the hotel is my only mild complaint, especially for breakfast. The breakfast buffet at the hotel was $30 per person. Overall we felt as though we spent a week in paradise while at the Fairmont Orchid.
