Why We Love This Hotel

  • The beach is just steps from the resort's luxurious lobby
  • The 929-square-metre pool is a great option for those who prefer to relax poolside
  • With six restaurants on site, guests have plenty of dining options
  • The open-air spa is a truly unique experience; treatments are done along the beach or in thatched "hales" (huts) near waterfalls and among jungle-like foliage
  • There is an on-site car rental option, making island exploration easier

Since we were there for 6 nights, it would have been nice to have one more option for dinner.

Many lovely small venues on the property. Some staff tried very hard.

Lack of restaurant choices for all meals. Lack of oversight of facilities, especially fitness center and housekeeping.

My husband and I went to Hawaii to celebrate our 9 year anniversary. We traveled all across the Big Island and for our last 2 days stayed at the Fairmont Orchid and were looking forward to relaxing and recharging on the tail end of our trip. The resort itself is beautiful and the food was good. You are about 20-30 mins away from doing anything that is not on the resort, so important to take that into account for travel activities. Regarding our rest and relaxation, unfortunately our room was located right next to where they were doing some construction (lots of drilling in the early morning and in the afternoon on both days we stayed at the resort) and they had large carts outside in the hallway. This was esp frustrating bc around 2pm, I had to vacate the pool area where there were a group of kids playing loudly in the pool. Totally fine for them to splash around, they are on vacation too, but when I go to my room to nap it should be quiet there - and it wasn't! When I mentioned it to the woman as I checked out at the front desk, she proceeded to tell me that construction was only happening on another floor, not my own so I shouldn't have heard it, and then said that someone should have told me about the construction when I checked in (they did not tell me). Then she said she would have to look into it since it wasn't supposed to happen on our floor. When I reiterated that it was happening on our floor and that I saw the carts in the hallway, she said sorry and nothing else while printing out my bill. Based on the quality of the hotel, I would have expected more of an apology. I would have settled for an acknowledgement that having drilling happening can be disruptive and oh gosh, you should have told us, we would have relocated your room. Maybe offering a credit or a water bottle or something but didn't receive anything. She didn't believe me when I first brought it up. Overall it was a disappointing experience, especially given how kind and happy she sounded speaking with the gentleman who checked out before me. I am not sure I would stay here again in the future, given how many wonderful places there are to stay in Kona.

Customer service goes a long way. Most of the people we interacted with at the Fairmont Orchid were lovely and so helpful. It's a shame that the end of our trip was made sour by someone who didn't attempt to address a poor experience.

Hotel seems to be on the edge of decline. Not customer oriented, instead goal appears to be to make an extra dollar every way possible.

We visited to celebrate our 50th Anniversary. We were upgraded to a full size suite, which we greatly appreciated. All levels of staff were excellent.

It would be nice to have a ceiling fan in the bedroom. Resort needs a coffe shop/casual dining spot for breafast and lunch.

The Fairmont Orchid is in a beautiful location on the Kohala Coast. From check-in to check-out we had an amazing time. The staff and grounds were amazing. Our room was wonderful. We got the Oceanview King and it was exactly that. Great sunsets and a view of the koi pond with a waterfall. I would definitely book this deal again!

The beach is lovely with calm waters and snorkeling. There is a shoreline trail that you can explore going north and south. There is also a cool petroglyph trail nearby.
