ClaireWithLove TripAdvisor review

We stayed four nights in a pool-side suite which came with a walk-out patio door to a table and four chairs, two lounge chairs (no umbrella), and a nice chair and footstool for reading/relaxing. It looked like our 108 suite plus two others had a ocean view, but the other pool-side suites would have more a view of the pool. The suite's lounge chairs had a cushion that was thinner than the pool-side lounge chairs which was green and quite plush. The suite has two double beds, large bathroom with separate tub and double sink plus a nice laundry basket for dirty towels and a wooden rack for hanging a wet bathing suit. The living area has a large sectional couch, TV, table and chairs for dining, and the coffee/microwave area. Tea kettle, microwave, and refrigerator, and a Nespresso Vertuo coffee maker. The white stainless steel Fairmont Kea Lani water bottles are the nicest water bottles we have ever had - keeping water cold, lift up straw and a white ring for carrying. Water stations in the hotel and by the pool. At the pool is reef-safe suntan and after sun lotion in SPF 30 and 50 that you can use. There are nice white covers for the lounge chairs and plenty of towels. There is a smaller, colder adult lap pool and hot tub (hot) and good size family pools with a slide and less hot hot tub. One of the special things about the Fairmont is the Hawaiian cultural center (Hale Kukuna) in the lobby, with lovely artifacts showcasing some of the culture and books you can read, and the cultural activities: Hula, ukelele, lei making (we made a ti leaf bracelet), and language classes. Ke'ala is a hula dancer who has performed around the world for many years and truly exemplifies the aloha spirit. I loved her hula, lei making, and ukulele classes. One of my favorite memories is the ukulele class where Ke'ala and Kapono were playing along with me and singing a beautiful song about Haleakala. Ho'ohu is another lovely teacher who I enjoyed meeting and talking with in her hula class. Tips: - The outrigger canoe excursion can get booked up, so make reservations with the Concierge even before you arrive. Ours got cancelled due to the waves and unfortunately, it was full for the subsequent days. - Parking is free. I saw a Fairmont van at the other hotel we stayed at, so I think there is a service to take you to another restaurant within a certain distance. - Shops at Wailea (also restaurants and a good gourmet/grab and go or on-demand food market - Island Gourmet Markets (love the Chicken Teriyaki)). Need to drive or see if the van will take you or about a mile away. - You will need to scan the QR code to see the list of activities - cultural, exercise and water activities. Note that the hula and ukulele classes did not show up on the Android/iPhone version, but did show up in the tablet and possibly the computer version. Suggest you go to the Concierge to have them print you a schedule of the activities for when you are there, so you can see all of them. - There is a lovely path connecting the hotels and along the cliff-side with stunning views of the ocean. Suggestions for improvement: - Fix the Android/iPhone version of the activity schedule so that the hula, ukulele classes show up consistently. Suggest ensuring the classes show up under "culture" option and "all" activity option since currently they are not showing up on the phone version. - A paper copy of the week's activities would be appreciated and easier than navigating several screens and clicks on the phone to try and see activities. Mention the walkway next to beach and the Fairmont van transportation would be nice. At the next hotel we stayed at, we got a nice sheet with the week's schedule, daily activities, and special cultural activities along with additional extra cost, special activities. - Consider having some activities in the evening after dinner. I was torn between enjoying the sun/pool/ocean and going to a class. - Add some additional hula and lei/weaving classes for people who are staying a week so different things are learned. We totally loved our stay at the Fairmont and look forward to coming back.

From check-in to check-out all the staff were so friendly and easy to deal with, answering all questions plus giving advice for various things. The grounds are immaculate, the food was great, and Polo Beach provided our son with some good waves to play in. I need to give a special shout out to Kaylie (not sure if I spelled that right) and Bryan. They made our Cabana experience one we will never forget. We ordered room service 3 times and that staff was also amazing as well as the bartender at Pilina. All in all we had an exceptional time at Fairmont Kai Lani and would definitely recommend it to everyone. We will be back.

Aloha, Thank you for taking the time to share your wonderful experience at Fairmont Kea Lani. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed our cabana service and found our staff to be friendly and accommodating. It is particularly gratifying to know that Kaylie and Bryan contributed to making your cabana experience memorable. We appreciate your positive remarks about our immaculate grounds and delicious food offerings, as well as the enjoyment your son found at Polo Beach. Your kind words regarding our room service and the bartender at Pilina will be shared with the respective teams, as they strive to provide exceptional service. We are grateful for your recommendation and look forward to welcoming you back for another exceptional visit in the future. Mahalo, The Fairmont Kea Lani Team

I took my mother away for her birthday. I wanted to do something special for her. She’s been the best mother anyone could ask for. From the moment we stepped out of the car. Porters, bellman, front desk, pool service. It exceeded the Four Seasons. The staff no matter what would always say aloha with a huge smile.

Aloha, Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience with us. We are delighted to hear that our team provided exceptional service that exceeded your expectations, especially during such a special occasion as your mother's birthday. It is our goal to create memorable moments for our guests, and your kind words affirm our commitment to hospitality. We look forward to welcoming you and your mother back in the future.
