This was a very special property. We’ve stayed at many resorts at many destinations over the years and can honestly say that the Fairmont Orchid is a genuine 5-star property, from the accommodations to the views and overall staff, we were very pleased. Gave it a 4 out of 5 because we felt that dining options were somewhat limited and crazy expensive. We did use the hotel shuttle to go to the local store and loaded up on snacks and sandwiches. You will be happy staying here. :)

The property was gorgeous. The daily resort fee was pretty steep considering the only non-charge amenity was free coffee from 5 AM to 6:30 AM. Our TV never worked. Luckily, we were outside enjoying all Kona has to offer.

Beautiful property, but our room was just ok. Needed updating and the bathroom door knob needed to be fixed. The food options at the hotel were also average. But great drinks. We ate most of our meals off property. We’d stay again, but make sure we get an updated room next time.

The staff and property were amazing. My best friend and I went there for my 50th and they really gave us white glove service upgrading our room, champaign, birthday cake, and plenty of the staff all around the property were just so genuinely interested in making it a great experience for us. I so enjoyed that this island is not packed like the others. It is low key. I can't wait to go back!

We had a hiccup with our original accommodation, but the Fairmont staff turned what could have been a stressful situation into a magical experience. From the moment we arrived, the team went above and beyond, ensuring every detail of our stay was perfect. Their warmth and friendliness truly made us feel like we were at home. The hotel itself is stunning, but it was the people who made our visit unforgettable. In fact, we were so taken by the exceptional service and ambiance that we decided to spend most of our time at the hotel, soaking in the beauty and enjoying the luxurious amenities, rather than exploring the island as initially planned. If you're looking for a place that combines elegance with heartfelt hospitality, the Fairmont on Big Island is the perfect choice. We can't wait to return!
