Beautiful Resort | Good Staff Service

Alex C (Saratoga Springs, New York) on Dec 13, 2025

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.

Breathtaking beach and excellent service at our favorite hotel in Hawaii!

Yogicindylee (San Diego, California) on Dec 08, 2025

Amazing service and amenities with wonderful beach We had the best time at the Fairmont Orchid with perfect weather and excellent service throughout from the sumptuous breakfast buffet with both western and Asian dishes to the ocean front high end Brown’s featuring Hawaiian flavors. The rooms are clean, modern and spacious. Everyone that works there is always smiling and welcoming. We cannot wait to return to our favorite hotel in Hawaii!
