    The staff nails it again.

    The Orchid is situated in a lovely location on the Big Island Hawaii. While there is much to appreciate about the environment and the hotel itself, I really want to shout out to the staff. They are the heart and soul of this place and we are extremely grateful that they take pride in their hotel. A special shout out to the Manager Kailen (Sp?) as he went the extra mile for us when there were challenges upon check in. Thanks to all of you and you are appreciated!

    Poor service for status members

    As a Diamond status member, the service provided was not up to par. The information and recommendations provided were misguided and from multiple/unknown sources. It is very difficult to communicate to obtain service and recommendations. I was not treated how an All Accor Diamond Status member should be by Fairmont in contrast to other All Accor hotel service provision.

    Wonderful Experience

    We stayed at the Orchid to celebrate our 45th wedding anniversary. We enjoyed our stay completely! Everything was perfect! The room was wonderful and very comfortable. The hotel and grounds were beautiful. We did the luau on the grounds the day we arrived and it was so very interesting and the food and drinks were delicious!

    Simply the best

    I have stayed at hotels all over the world and I can truly say this was one of the finest hotel experiences I have ever had. The staff, service and amazing facility and grounds was simply incredible. The pool and beach service was friendly and helpful and the food was fantastic.

    Great hotel if you are a smoker

    If you want to smoke, this is the hotel for you. This is supposed to be a no smoking hotel but we had a smoker who ruined our trip. The hotel would do nothing. We spoke with two managers and called at least 10 times. We saw the guy smoking and knew which room but the hotel would not contact him. They also would not move us to another room. They prefer smokers to other guests.
