Resort was beautiful! We had an issue with a flooded room from overflowing toilet. Not moved rooms initially, but after our travel agent reached out we were immediately moved to gold status suite.
I have vacationed on the big island countless times and have stayed at numerous properties—The Mauna Kea, The Four Seasons, Mauna Lani and The Fairmont Orchid. This most recent stay was undoubtedly the best experience I have ever had on the big island. The service was unmatched. The staff was attentive, kind, and above all accommodating. I informed them that this was a particularly special trip for me. I had just completed the Bar Exam and was planning to propose to my girlfriend. They went so far out of their way to make this an unforgettable experience for us. I cannot stress this enough. The room was breathtaking. We were upgraded to the beach front room and I was truly blown away. There is nothing quite like arriving in your room and being greater with the glorious sight of a Hawaiian sunset over the pacific. Furthermore, the hotel management was so incredibly gracious and thoughtful. For example, on one occasion during the middle of our stay, my room keys stopped working. A staff member let me into my room (after I presented ID) and when I said I was going to head down to the lobby to grab a fresh key, he insisted that I remain in my room and relax while he went to retrieve the key. That was so unnecessary but so unbelievably kind. THEN, on top of that gesture, when we returned from dinner that evening there was a hand signed letter from hotel management apologizing for the “inconvenience” of the room key breaking and an accompanying box of chocolate. I didn’t even complain! Yet they heard about the and felt it necessary to apologize and provide a generous gift as consolation. My heart melted. It was gestures like this that characterized our entire stay at the Fairmont Orchid. Every step of the way they were there, anticipating our wants and needs and immediately delivering. I was truly blown away. There is NO doubt in my mind that I will be back. While I have enjoyed stays at other luxury properties on the Big Island, after this trip I can say without a shred of doubt that the Fairmont Orchid will always have a special place in my heart and I cannot wait to return in the future. If I can summarize my stay briefly, from start to finish it felt like the staff was there to serve us personally, almost as if we were the hotel owners. Which—at a time where the hospitality industry is marred by labor shortages, overworked employees, and resources that are stretched too thin—is something I never could have imagined possible. I wish I could personally thank every single staff member and manager at that property for making our stay so special. I was genuinely moved. Can’t wait to revisit soon!
The staff were extremely friendly— location of the property was perfect for our needs since we were attending a wedding in Waimea
Great service, nice resort!
We were there with a large group and we were all well taken care of. Able to get reservations for various meals. Activities booked and plenty of drinks and food for all.

While the Orchid is a spectacular property, and the staff we amazing, our booking was a combination of a Sales Club award and personal expansion, booked by a travel agency. This caused confusion for the front desk staff about the amenities we were entitled to (e.g., breakfast, food/beverage amount, application of our Gift Card, water sports, etc.), which translated to a series of discussions that took time away from our vacation, and multiple uncomfortable and embarrassing conversations with breakfast and beach staff.
My family and I are Kamaʻaina and we felt very pampered and cared for while enjoying our staycation. The staff was very accommodating, polite, and respectful. We have stayed at various hotels and resorts and often find we are not treated with the same attention as visitors are. It was a nice experience to be treated as a guest regardless of being from the island or not. That made an impression. WE look forward to staying at the Fairmont Orchid again in the future. Please encourage the staff to continue treating all guests equally and with the same manner of aloha!
Trip of a lifetime! Loved the hotel and the beautiful spot on Hawaii.

We had a very enjoyable time at the hotel. The property is beautiful and the staff was generally very friendly. But we couldn't use our balcony most of the stay because of wasps and the lack of vegetarian food options was frustrating.
