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.

We booked a beach walk daybed and are so glad we did! It was very relaxing and the resort is beautiful. We received full service from the bar and restaurant all day long, we didn’t have to move a finger. The resort offers a number of other activities to do at the beach, like snorkeling, for an additional cost if you want to do something other than sit on your daybed. Our package even came with more complimentary goodies than we expected! 

So relaxing 

Would have preferred a beach Cabana at this great location but the Pool Cabana was quite comfortable. We were on a cruise of the Hawaiian Islands and this was our first stop. We have been here before several times and knew that it was a significant drive to get there from Hilo. However, you are assured of a beautiful day at the Fairmont Orchid given the geography of The Big Island. However, on the return trip we thought we had allowed plenty of time to get back to the boat. But there was an accident (garbage truck ablaze) on the ride back to Hilo and we just made it o time. Still it was worth it to get away from the crowds and have quite time at the resort. Having been to the Big Island several times in the past was definitely helpful in terms of getting around

Our favorite Hawaiian Island

If you are booking a beach chair, I would recommend skip it and just go to the beach with your own towel and chair.

Beautiful Beach

Beautiful location.  Clean and accommodating.  Very relaxing!

Fairmont Orchid Resort

We had a pool cabana for 2 - great amenities- water, juice,snacks, cool towels. It was a great pool and the lagoon was awesome to snorkel in. Saw turtles summing themselves in protected area and wales swimming by. Nice quiet pool and excellent service. I wish I could stay for more days!  The food & drinks we ordered were awesome too!

Beautiful location and great amenities 

Loved it

Beautiful resort with an amazing view!   Excellent Cabana service.  Would definitely come again 

Fairmont Orchid 

Fantastic attentive pool side service. Incredible water - the perfect temp!! No loud and rowdy kids. Food and drinks were good as well!

The nicest pool I have *ever* swam in!!!

Great day at the Fairmont Orchid.  Easy parking.  Easy cabana check-in.  The beach staff were helpful and welcoming.  Beach was almost empty which was great!  Hung out on the beach most of the day with lunch at the beach restaurant on the property.  Loved the entire day!

Fairmont Orchid Day Pass

We have a vacation home in Kona and like to check out new resorts when we visit by buying day passes.  Rented a cabana for $500 ordered food for another $300 plus tip.  We wanted to spend more to enjoy the beach. Too bad the hotel would not let us pay more to rent snorkel gear or kayaks.  Only hotel guests can rent the gear.  Why rent out cabanas for $500 if you are not going to let them have a good time while they are there.  They lost money on rentals and any future visits from us.  Go to Hilton Waikoloa if you have kids.  And Westin Hapuna for better views. 

Will not rent out water gear to non hotel guests
