I really liked the personal attention. The grounds flowers waterfalls and beach view is just beautiful. I didn't think the air conditioner was strong enough and the water pressure in the shower needed improvement. Also the beach needs umbrellas set up for the loungers.Overall wonderful hotel and property.

We stayed at Fairmont Orchid Gold for six nights as a family and the services we have received were exceptional. Although we had to wait a bit for our room to be ready, we were able to relax and enjoy refreshments at the Gold lounge. Due to some complications we encountered we got a free upgrade to a suite with ocean view which made our stay even more comfortable. The hotel property ground is amazing with beautiful landscapes at every corner. The private beach with a cove made swimming and snorkeling in the ocean very safe and enjoyable particularly when you have younger kids. We enjoyed delicious breakfast and evening refreshments every day at the gold lounge and all service members were extremely courteous and have us very useful suggestions on where to visit. Overall we love our stay at Fairmont orchid and will definitely come back in future!

Very nice property. Excellent location - close to beautiful white sand beaches, close to shopping & dining. Nice BF. Waterfalls at the resort can be noisy at night if you enjoy sleeping with your balcony door open, and have a resort/pool/part sea view room.

I stayed at the Fairmont Orchid Gold and left very disappointed. I paid over $1,000 per night expecting a true luxury experience, but the reality was far from it. The rooms are extremely standard, nothing special at all. They advertise them as “renovated,” but honestly, they look average and unimpressive. For this price point, I expected something far more modern, comfortable, and unique. Service across the hotel was also not what you would expect from a so-called world-class resort. Most of the staff did not seem very attentive or welcoming. It often felt like guests were an afterthought rather than the priority. The only exception was Laura at the Gold Front Desk, who was outstanding. She was professional, warm, and truly helpful. Unfortunately, one great employee doesn’t make up for the lack of service overall. Yes, the property itself is nice, but it is nowhere near what the hotel’s reputation and marketing suggest. It is not the level of luxury or service you would expect for the money charged. Bottom line: This hotel is overpriced for what it offers. It is okay at best, but definitely not worth the premium. I left feeling like I wasted a lot of money on an experience that was just average.

Gold sparkles

We stayed here for our 10 year wedding anniversary and our stay was fantastic. Our ocean view room had a great view of the golf course and ocean. There is a private beach and the pool is open 24/7. The gold experience was top notch and we felt well taken care of. I believe the hotel is great without the gold but the gold put it over the top. We would stay here again with or without gold.

They upgraded us to a suite for our honeymoon. The rooms are newly redone and are so beautiful and thoughtful. The Gold experience made us feel like royalty, although I would think it would maybe include some parking perks or pool perks. The grounds of the hotel were outstanding. First time I ever thought - I would travel specifically to stay at another fairmont hotel.

Fairmont Gold at Kona is an an outstanding venue. People are trained, courteous and efficient. The price-value relationship is a winner. Comment, the beautiful tile floor in the shower was so slick neither my wife nor I dared use the shower. We are both healthy by the way, wanted to stay that way. A simple synthetic shower mat would be all that would have been needed.

Fantastic vacation on Kona

The property was gorgeous and the views of the water were spectacular. We had an ocean view room that was worth the upgrade, and the beachside restaurants took full advantage of the views. We paid extra for the Gold package and the service was outstanding. Staff were friendly, helpful, and timely the making sure the breakfast, snacks, and evening appetizers were set up. Fitness center was top notch and concierge services at the resort made some high quality recommendations that saved us time and resulted in a great experience. The location of the resort in the Mauna Lani area near Kona is close to shopping and restaurants but far enough away that the grounds are serene and peaceful. Highly recommend the property and the upgrade to the Gold package.

The property is on a secluded beach about a half hour from Kona. The Gold Orchid Lounge was really nice and included breakfast and appetizers as well as juice, coffee and water. Most of the staff were excellent. The bed was very comfortable. The beach was a great place to watch sunset. It is close to Blue Hawaiian helicopter tours. We tried the restaurant Brown’s beach house. The ambiance with live music was nice.
