We had just spent a week with our kids and grandkids and coming to the Fairmont was just what these grandparents needed. Your grounds are the most beautiful we have seen in our travels. Sleep was a struggle because of the 3 hour time difference and no black-out curtains We sleep in 5--60 degree temps at night so it was a bit warm for us with the air conditioner only going to a low of 70. But, we would love to come back

Aloha Mr. b., Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We’re delighted that our grounds provided a relaxing setting after your week with family, though we are sorry that several aspects of your stay were not as comfortable as they should have been. Adjusting to the time difference is challenging, and we regret that the room temperature and lack of blackout curtains made restful sleep difficult. We do offer blackout curtains upon request, and we're sorry this wasn’t communicated during your visit. We also appreciate your comments about your dining experiences. While we're glad you enjoyed the oceanfront setting and service, we are sorry the dishes themselves—particularly the lobster rice, salads, and fish entrées—did not meet your expectations. We will be sharing your feedback with our culinary team for review. It means a great deal that you would still consider returning, and we would love the opportunity to welcome you back for a more comfortable and enjoyable stay. Best regards and mahalo nui loa, Fairmont Orchid

Unfortunately we didn'thave a great start with the hotel as we were not helped with our bags even with me trying to handle them plus our kids, and we're asked to move our car right away before check-in. Our initial room also had a flickering light. But the manager we spoke to understood and upgraded us to a beautiful more comfortable room which we very much enjoyed and apologized for the cold welcome. We also appreacited all the rental equipment at the beach and it's proximity to the hotel. The kids had a lot of fun there.

Aloha Ms. D., Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback regarding your recent stay at Fairmont Orchid. We are pleased to hear that you enjoyed our beautiful room and the beach facilities, which provided fun for your children. However, we regret to learn about the challenges you faced during your arrival, including the lack of assistance with your luggage and the initial inconvenience with your room's lighting. Our team strives to provide welcoming and supportive service, and it is disappointing that we fell short on this occasion. We appreciate your understanding regarding the situation and are glad that our team could upgrade you to a more comfortable room. Your comments have been noted as we continually work to enhance our guest experience. Thank you once again for your insights. Best regards and mahalo, Fairmont Orchid

Beautiful resort with great amenities, but they should have done more to restore the cultural artifacts and historical sites that the developers undoubtedly razed down when they built this hotel. While we were walking past the golf course which no one was using, we saw a 2 ft pile of rocks that were marked as a former sacred site for Hawaiians. Compare this to Mauna Lani next door, which had kept or restored ancient Hawaiian fish ponds. The best part of our stay was the morning outrigger canoe ride with a sunrise ceremony led by a Hawaiian who shared the history of the land with us. Paying homage to the land that has given us the riches and connecting to its history is the kind of experience that truly completes a trip to Hawaii.

Our stay at the Fairmont Orchid on the Big Island was truly memorable and beautifully relaxing. The resort is set along the stunning Kohala Coast, with a peaceful oceanfront setting that immediately makes you feel immersed in nature and the spirit of Hawai‘i.

Aloha Ms. H., Thank you for your kind words regarding your stay at Fairmont Orchid! We are delighted to hear that you found our resort comfortable and enjoyed the serene oceanfront setting. Thank you as well for recognizing our staff for their warm, and genuine aloha spirit; we are truly fortunate to have them as part of our team, and will make sure they are recognized. We look forward to welcoming you back for another memorable experience. Best regards and mahalo Fairmont Orchid

Susie K. Business - Confirmed reviews ALL

On the third day, I found out the front door did not close all the way and that I had slept basically with the door open all night. I called down to the front desk and the receptionist told me “our staff noticed last night that your door didn’t close, but since you raised no complaint we decided not to do anything about it.” I asked for the matter to be looked into and for a possible room switch. Neither happened after 6 hours and I had to go down to the lobby to repeat my request. I felt extremely unsafe by this event. What would Fairmont have done if someone had mistakenly come into my room and something happened to me?!

Aloha Ms. K., Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We are truly sorry for the distress and discomfort you felt during your stay, especially regarding the issue with your guestroom door. The health and safety of our guests is extremely important to us, and we understand how unsettling it must have been to discover that your door had not fully closed overnight. We have reviewed all guest requests and reports from the dates of your stay, and unfortunately, we were unable to locate any record of your report about the door not closing properly. Regardless, the response you described is not the level of care or urgency we expect from our team, and we sincerely apologize that your concerns were not addressed promptly. You should never have had to follow up multiple times or feel unsafe in your room. Please know that we take your feedback seriously. We are reviewing this situation with our team to ensure that proper safety checks, communication, and follow‑through occur every time a guest raises a concern—especially one involving room security. Thank you again for bringing this to our attention. We hope you will consider giving us another opportunity in the future to provide the secure, comfortable, and attentive experience you should always expect from us. Best regards and mahalo, Fairmont Orchid
