    The hotel was amazing. I am so glad that I joined the Fairmont President's Club before going (it's free) - there were all sorts of extra perks from that.... I would definitely stay here again. by a Hotels.com guest on 09/04/12

    The Fairmont Orchid, Hawaii Kohala Coast - Waikoloa

    A short guide to Kohala Coast - Waikoloa

    Luxury resorts, sprawling golf courses, and white sands line the Kohala Coast – Waikoloa. Hawaii’s sunniest coast is a must-go for beachgoers. It is also known as the cradle to King Kamehameha, Hawaii’s greatest king. His influence can be seen at the nearby Pu’ukohola Heiau National Historic Site, where visitors can see the temple of war he built before unifying the Hawaiian Islands.

    We enjoyed our stay and would stay again. However, the hotel seems to be trying to make up for discounted room prices by charging very high prices for everything else. No one except hotel guests would want to park at the hotel, but self parking is approximately $20 a day. A "breakfast sandwich" currently costs over $20 with tax and tip. Our three person […] lunch bill at the pool was over $100. If you have a car, there are many other better dining options. Read more

    Beautiful place, outstanding staff, very comfortable rooms. They take the extra steps to make your stay terrific. They offer a hospitality room that lets you check out and then shower and clean up for flights in the evening. A wonderful service.

    おすすめポイント①お米がおいしい。日本食レストランがしっかりしているためかデリの巻き寿司も美味②日本語ゲストサービスがしっかりされている。時間内で1〜2人で対応。何をしたいのか、聞きたいかを前もってまとめから相談することをおすすめします。③ビーチに亀がいる。触っている日本人がいましたが、触ったらだめです。④海辺のロミロミマッサージが最高です。⑤ルアナラウンジからの夕焼けがきれいです。⑥プールの横に温水ジャグジーがあり夜も入れます。 ゴルフの名門コースも近く、ホテルでゆっくりしたい方向きの所だと思います。かつてはハワイ州でトップのメインダイニングもあり食事がとにかくおいしいところでした。2〜3年前近所にチェーンのステーキハウスができてお客さんが減りなくなってしまったそうです。比較的年配の方にお […] すすめのホテルです。(個人的にはゴールドフロアがおすすめです) Read more

    Hotel na przyzwoitym poziomie , w Europie maksymalnie mógłby dostać cztery gwiazdki. Miejsce przeznaczone głównie na odpoczynek : plażowanie , opalanie, nurkowanie i zwiedzanie. Osoby lubiące rozrywkowe życie nocne będą się nudzić. Okropne jedzenie , same SUBSTYTUTY. Na wyspie, gdzie rosną pomarańcze nie można kupić świeżego , wyciskanego soku . Mięso […] , pieczywo, wędliny , słodycze to polepszacze, barwniki, konserwanty i sztuczne środki zapachowe W restauracjach przy hotelu serwują dania beznadziejne , ale dobrze wyglądające ( befsztyk z polędwicy wołowej , tylko z wyglądu jest befsztykiem ponieważ sos i przyprawy nie do przełknięcia ). Amerykanom to, jak zauważyłam ,nie przeszkadza. Poza tym cena nie jest adekwatna do jakości .W Europie za te same pieniądze miałabym o wiele bardziej luksuswowy pokój z wliczonym śniadaniem .
