Recently stayed here with my wife for 5 nights for a birthday trip. It is about a 30/40 minute drive from the airport. The staff is excellent and welcoming from the moment that you arrive. The rooms are spacious, clean and luxurious. The grounds at this hotel are beautiful. From the private beach to the pool & grotto style hot tub, everything is well kept. They also have two golf courses to choose from. The breakfast buffet is one of the better ones that we've seen while traveling. With an omelette bar, two rows of hot foot, cold food, fruit and dessert bar... they have something for everyone. They have a lounge/bar area on the top floor with live music and a great view of the sunset. Binchotan is a great restaurant. The more "casual" of the two main restaurants but we found their food to be incredible. Brown's Beach House is the nicer of the two and also had excellent food and service. They also have a shuttle service that can drive you a few blocks to a grocery store and other amenities. I'd recommend this hotel to anyone staying on the Big Island!

This was my 4th or 5th trip to the Fairmont Orchid, so I obviously enjoy the resort. What made this trip truly outstanding was a couple exceptional staff members. Elizabeth went above and beyond helping me plan this special trip with my grandchildren and Rose greeted us on arrival to be sure everything was beyond perfect. I will always be grateful to Rose and Elizabeth for their kindness and professionalism!! Due to my grandson's life threatening allergies travel is a challenge, but I will return without reservation to the Orchid. This trip created lifelong memories for my granchildren and thats what it is all about. Thank you!!

Alex C TripAdvisor review

The Fairmont is a stunning and relaxing resort. We actually booked a different hotel and cancelled upon check in - as it wasn’t what it was described to be. So we quickly booked a room at the Fairmont and headed over. Our check in took a little over 2 hours because they had trouble finding our last minute reservation, but they comped us some drinks and we got to relax in the beautiful weather outside. Service overall was really great. From breakfast to dinner to drinks by the pool. They give you water bottles upon check in (good quality) we’re really great and they have water stations scattered throughout. Housekeeping was very on top of it, a couple of the days they even cleaned it 2x! Overall, food was decent. Nothing was mind blowing or exceptional. I thought the prices of the drinks/food didn’t quite meet the overall value it should have been though. 2 people eating and drinking (not excessively at all) for 4 days was $2,000 which cost the same amount as the stay. Shoutout to Sherry from the front desk check in for being extremely sweet and Evelyn from the lounge for being so fun to talk to and recommending great drinks. We did the luau on the property as well and that was an AMAZING experience. Everyone did a fantastic job and the food there was actually the best we had the entire time. Moral of the story: the resort is beautiful, the pool area is a good size (a lot of yelling kids playing in the pool when we went though), the rooms were good sizes and nicely updated. Biggest cons: pricing for food and drinks were very high even though it wasn’t the best/didn’t feel it was worth it at a Fairmont. No music at the pool - when kids aren’t yelling it was too quiet, we needed to have something playing on our phones to relax to.
