Inspired by aloha, the Fairmont Orchid is a luxury Hawaii island resort and spa that redefines rest and relaxation. Overlooking the Pauoa Bay, this expansive oasis sits right on the beach and covers a lush 32-acres. Feel the warm ocean breeze in your reserved lounge chair on the beach, or kick back in your lounge chair poolside. Either way, you’re sure to feel at ease.

The beach and snorkeling are nice. We are not staying at the resort so we paid 100.00 to use their lounge chairs for a couple hours and was told by the very nice attendant who got us organized and situated, we would also be able to get beach service with that. Never once did anyone ask us. He went to the chair 3 ft from us multiple times and never acknowledged us. We were there mainly to see the resort since my son is getting married there in June. I hope that the services in the contract for the wedding are much more attentive and as described. Its a pretty place but Im thinking may be over rated. 

Great location

My friends and I booked a cabana for the day, and we were surprised to find that it was situated in the lawn area, and not next to the pool or the beach. The cabana was marketed for four people, but four chairs could not comfortably fit under the cabana. Check-in in was easy and the food and beverage service was fine, and our group made the most of the day. But for the price we paid, we were disappointed with the location and size of the cabana. The pool is not fully adults only- it is a larger pool, with an adults only section roped off. If you book this so called cabana, be aware it's more like a tent pitched in the grass. 

Good service, bad views

Had a wonderful beach day with Resortpass at the Fairmont. Was worried about worse treatment for non hotel guests, but the staff were super friendly and accommodating. Great views, drinks, and food. Enjoyed snorkeling and saw a ton of fish. Beach was fairly quiet the whole day

Great beach day 

Relaxing environment. Great pool and staff. Charge for daybed is priced high along with additional fees. Food and drink are very expensive and just ok tasting.

Lovely

Calm, sandy lagoon with great snorkeling. Great service from all staff members, especially Caelan who was exceptional, friendly and prompt. Would recommend and go back.

Beautiful lagoon

What a perfect day!  Arrived at 10 am and was immediately record and show to our reserved day bed. We we showered with treats the whole day: first a cooler of fruit, juice and water, then Maui chips, skewered pineapple and mochi ice cream. Of course we had the staff from Hale Kai come around to take orders for drinks or food. We saw turtles bask in the sun and stayed and watched the incredible sunset. Perfect day! 

Incred Day

What a great day we had, the employees were amazing and so attentive. We came early and ate breakfast and stayed late for dinner and to watch the sunset. Will plan to come back again and again!

Best hotel!!

Just spent the afternoon swimming in the beautiful clear waters of the beach bay. Staff at Beach Shack was hospitable and friendly. Bar staff was great to talk to and the Savignon Blanc with Veggie Tacos great. You're provided with a beach lounge chair, two towels and a cold bottle of water. You can also rent additional beach gear such as snorkels. Your check in is at the Beach Shack. I wasted 20 min. waiting in line at the front desk of the lobby only to be told to go to the Beach shack. My bad. I tipped the guy who checked me in and set up my beach chair. Someone will come by to take orders for drinks and food which is a decent selection. I valet parked (no extra charge, just tip) though self parking is an option. A sublime way to spend the day. I felt fine leaving my backpack on my chair though I wore a waterproof pouch with my credit card, ID and cash.  I will come back again for ine more visit before I leave the island.

Relaxing Day in Paradise

Love this resort and the peacefulness of a cabana on the white sand beach. The food and drink service was great. Would definitely come back again!

I gave 4 stars because 5 stars goes to 4 seasons for what we like as resort, HOWVER, Kama and Manny at poolside bar and day bed manager, well EXCEPTIONNAL!!!! that was 10 stars!!!!

FYI the give you exactly what is described; plenty water, 2 cans of local nectar, an apple and an orange, evian mist and plenty towels. The food at bar delivered to us was great, I had a fruit plate that was loaded with plenty nice fruit.

wonderful people
