Why We Love This Deal
The 5-star Fairmont Orchid on the Big Island is the kind of resort Travelzoo members return to again and again. Past guests say coming back is “always a pleasure” and it “never disappoints.” Its appeal comes from the way it blends upscale accommodations and attentive Fairmont service with Hawaii’s natural beauty and warm hospitality.
A night here typically costs $912 or more. Travelzoo members stay for $559 a night, including the resort fee (usually about $70 extra). Stay five nights or longer and you'll also receive a US$250 food-and-beverage credit and free parking. All together, that's about $2170 in savings on a five-night getaway.

We had a relaxing stay, and enjoyed the beautiful setting. Our room was very quiet. There is a nice selection of restaurants, and having the shuttle to Mauna Lani hotel and shops is excellent! We were disappointed about the lack of shade around the pool. The staff would not put up umbrellas even in the slightest wind. The charges for a cabana or a chaise with a partial cover at the cove was ridiculous! The least expensive one is $175 per day - really??!!!!!

There are deferred maintenance items that this hotel needs to pay attention to. This is an old hotel that was built originally for Ritz Carlton, so it is built well with high end aspects. It is really due for a refresh! Things such as stuck doors, slider window doors that squeak, shower heads that need to be replaced, bathtub stoppers that don’t work, etc.

This was one of the finest hotels we have stayed at and without the Travel Zoo voucher, this beautiful property would have been out of our price range.

The grounds, the view, the rooms, the amenities and the heated pool was amazing.

Staying at the Fairmont tends to be a great experience. This was an excellent stay and great resort however, I think the rooms/proptery and some of the food and beverage ( especially cocktails) could use some updates. We would certainly stay again, but the Maui Lea Lani Fairmont is a great example of one of there updated properties showcasing some of the opportunities with the Orchid. The staff is amazing and things like cleanliness of the room and property in general exceed most other hotel/resort brands.

The beach off the resort property far exceeded expectation with the incredible snorkeling and sea life we were able to walk out off of our hotel room and access! The different eating options including the deli Cafe make it nice and in case yoy want to grab and go, etc. Love the reusable water bottles and wide availability of cold filtered water stations around the property!

The location and service at The Fairmont are always outstanding and October is a wonderful time to enjoy the beautiful grounds, pool and outdoor dining and music in the evening.

You are here because of the location. Wasn't a fan of the dining options and the room is decent, bed is probably the best part. The snorkeling was just awesome

Felt like everything was extra and for the price you should more feel like you are getting many amenities. Bathroom felt a little blah

My experience at the Fairont Orchid, Hawaii was wonderful. The hotel and resort was lovely. The only thing that I didn't like was the room had a slight odor. The good was that the rooms were older and thus larger than most but I think that's also why it had a bit of an odor from being older. Also there are washer and dryers on some floors that are available to guests but one of the floors was out of order and the other wasn't working the second time I went to use it.

Our stay was really good. It is such a beautiful resort. We were there during the tsunami warning and the communication from the hotel during the evacuation period was not good/non-existent.
