Our stay at the Fairmont Orchid was mixed. The grounds are stunning, and the staff’s hospitality is commendable, but our room didn't meet expectations, particularly regarding the ocean view we were promised. The dining options are quite overpriced, and we faced unexpected charges at checkout. Overall, while we enjoyed the beauty and some aspects of our stay, there are definitely areas that need improvement.

The room was spacious and comfortable, but we were disappointed to find it wasn't the ocean view we booked; rather, we had to lean over the edge to catch a glimpse of the ocean.
Service

Most of the staff were exceptional, going out of their way to provide us with assistance and care. However, the service in the lounge was far from satisfactory due to understaffing.

The resort is in a beautiful setting, but it's a 40-minute drive to Kailua-Kona, which could be a hassle if you're looking to explore the area frequently.

The on-site dining options were diverse but incredibly overpriced. A bottle of wine costs more than I anticipated, which was disappointing.

The overall facilities were well-maintained, but the lack of ceiling fans made lounging in the heat a challenge.

My stay at the Fairmont Orchid was truly unforgettable, with its stunning beachfront views and beautiful grounds. The facilities, including the pool and spa, offered a luxurious experience, making it the perfect spot for relaxation. However, while the dining options were tasty, they did lack variety, and the room views weren't as impressive as I had hoped given the price point. Still, the overall experience was well worth it.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The service was decent and the grounds were well-kept, but there were some significant issues with the room arrangements and dining experience. While the beach had potential, it didn’t live up to expectations, and the crowded atmosphere made it less enjoyable. Overall, I appreciated the efforts of the staff, but improvements are needed in several areas to justify the price.

Rooms

The room was booked as an ocean view, but it felt more like a partial view blocked by trees. It seemed outdated and in need of refreshing.

Dining was an average experience, with high prices and limited quality, making it hard to justify eating on-site regularly.

The facilities were clean and included some nice features like koi ponds, but needed updates to match what is expected at this price point.

I had a wonderful time at the Fairmont Orchid, with immaculate grounds and spacious, luxurious rooms that made my stay comfortable. However, I found the dining experiences quite disappointing, largely due to the poor service at the restaurants. While I enjoyed the relaxing pool environment and available activities, the overall dining service needs improvement.

My recent stay at the Fairmont Orchid was absolutely delightful! The lush grounds and tranquil environment made for a perfect getaway. I really appreciated the spacious rooms and beautiful decor, though some areas could have seen minor updates. The beach’s calm waters were perfect for my family, offering a wonderful spot for snorkeling and relaxation. Dining was generally enjoyable, but I found the breakfast service to be a bit slow with limited variety. All in all, it's a lovely place, just be prepared for some bumps in dining service.
