The property is a little old, but it looked like they were working on improvements. The lobby is inviting, airy, classy and has a gorgeous view. The grounds are impeccable. We had a garden view of the koi pond. My 10 year old was given complimentary fish food so she could feed them. The pool is beautiful and relaxing with a separate adult side. There is also a jacuzzi hidden away in some lush landscaping. The beach is very safe with calm shallow water to snorkel in. But beware of the lava rocks at the bottom. I cut my foot but the guys at the rental shack took care of me. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The food is a bit pricey. There is Brown's deli which is a little more reasonable. The breakfast buffet is very expensive but they offer gourmet coffee and pastries in the bar area. I paid $24 for a small cappuccino, hot chocolate and 2 banana bread slices. However, there is a Foodland within a mile of the property. They have premade lunch items like sushi, poke, sandwiches and salads. Their food was delicious and the staff is great. So we just stopped there every day on our way out. There is a mini fridge in the room as well as a Nespresso coffeemaker and a tea kettle. You can order S'mores to roast over the few fire pits on the property for about $25. Parking was free and there was always spaces. The parking lot is a little strange as it is part of the back of the resort where laundry deliveries were happening etc...

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!
