My husband and I have been visiting the Fairmont Orchid for a decade, and this was our second time staying on the Gold Floor. Although the hospitality is exceptional across the property, the support provided by the staff on the Gold Floor is second to none. Despite the busy holiday season, the staff were friendly, catered to my (sad) allergy to mango, remembered our favorite activities, and went above and beyond to rectify a misunderstanding and accommodate our party with a late LATE checkout request. Jazz and the rest of the team on the Gold Floor made our (10th - I think) Fairmont Orchid stay extra special once again. We'll be back!

Aloha Ms. J., Thank you for your generous feedback regarding your recent stay at Fairmont Orchid. We are delighted to hear that you and your husband enjoyed your time on Fairmont Gold, and that our team provided you with exceptional hospitality during the busy holiday season. It is always our goal to deliver personalized experiences, and we are glad that our staff was able to accommodate your specific needs, including addressing your allergy and facilitating a late checkout. Your continued patronage over the last decade is greatly appreciated, and we are thrilled that you felt well taken care of by Jasmine and the team. We look forward to welcoming you back for your next visit and providing you with another memorable experience! Best regards and mahalo nui loa, Fairmont Orchid

Wonderful experience most definitely recommend!

Beautiful location and well maintained property. The rooms were not well stocked. The first day the coffee in the room was completely empty. Next day toiletries (hand soap, Qtips) were not restocked, nor was sugar/creamer for coffee. One front desk lady was rude and brusque. For paying so much money we were very disaappointed in the service. Also bizarre that free drink only for new members, not members who have already been loyal.

Aloha Ms. B., Thank you for sharing your feedback regarding your recent stay at Fairmont Orchid. While we are glad to know you enjoyed our beautiful location and well‑maintained grounds, we are truly sorry that your experience was impacted by issues with room amenities and service. This is far from the standard we strive to uphold, and we regret that we fell short during your visit. We have shared your comments with our Director of Housekeeping, who will be taking immediate steps to address the concerns you raised. Your observations about the front desk interactions and our loyalty program are also being reviewed carefully, as we are committed to improving the consistency and quality of our guest experience. We sincerely appreciate you bringing these matters to our attention. Thank you again for your candid insights. We hope you will allow us the opportunity to welcome you back in the future and provide the seamless, attentive stay you should always expect from us. Mahalo, Fairmont Orchid

The updates to the suite were ill conceived. I smashed my toe on the door stop in the bathroom, had trouble with the position of the doors in general. The lack of drawer space in the bathroom was also puzzling. The doors to the bedroom are windowed with takes away the purpose of being an early riser and allowing my wife to sleep while I work.

Aloha Mr. Z., Thank you for your feedback regarding your recent stay at Fairmont Orchid. We are pleased to hear that you found our employees exceptional and enjoyed the Gold experience. However, we regret to learn about the challenges you faced with the suite updates, particularly concerning the bathroom door stop, door positioning, and the lack of drawer space. Your observations regarding the windowed doors in the bedroom are noted, as we continually seek to enhance our guests' comfort and experience. We appreciate your insights, which will be shared with our management team for further consideration. Thank you once again for your comments. We hope to welcome you back in the future. Mahalo, Fairmont Orchid

Almost perfect with one area needing improvement.

The Fairmont Orchid did not disappoint in delivering “the Fairmont Way “. As I have grown to expect from Fairmont hotels, a level of service, kindness, and professionalism, were all evident from the Valet staff to the front desk to housekeeping, the restaurant staff, and in particular the pool staff. I truly don’t know how Fairmont does it but they make you feel like family. The employees seem genuinely happy to be at work and make you feel that “Ohana” feeling… it’s truly a wonderful thing. Where I feel the hotel gets a small question/ding is on the quality of the food. Except for the bar/poolside food the rest of it was relatively average. For the quality of the hotel and the price point i feel you have every right to expect exceptional.. Had it not been for the gold lounge (which was wonderful in every way, including breakfast and a great staff) we felt the other restaurants were a bit below average. The service makes up for a lot, but I’m surprised based on my experience at other Fairmont's that the food was not better. We did book an oceanfront suite which was spectacular and the spa experience as well as the cabana rental on the ocean was very special. There’s a lot right about this hotel and I would certainly encourage anybody to go however, I also would encourage the hotel to look at the food quality and see how they might be able to do better.

Aloha, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience at Fairmont Orchid. We are delighted to hear that our staff provided you with the exceptional service and warmth that we strive for, creating that sense of ‘Ohana’ you mentioned. Your kind words about our valet, front desk, housekeeping, restaurant, and pool staff are truly appreciated. We acknowledge your feedback regarding the quality of the food in some of our restaurants. We continuously seek to enhance our culinary offerings and your insights will be shared with our culinary team for their consideration. It is wonderful to know that you enjoyed the Gold Lounge and found the oceanfront suite and spa experience to be exceptional. We appreciate your encouragement for others to visit and your constructive feedback, as it is vital for our ongoing improvement. We hope to welcome you back to Fairmont Orchid in the future. Warm regards and mahalo, Fairmont Orchid
