Fairmont Orchid - Big Island (Hawaii)
  • Type: Resorts
    • User Rating  
  • NileGuide Expert Says:

    The Fairmont Orchid is clearly one of the top hotel choices on the Big Island. Why? Because it's got something for everyone. For families, there are a wide variety of activity and dining choices to keep a diverse range of interests happy and engaged. For couples, the opportunities for romance and ambiance are plentiful. And for sun worshipers, there's a great beach with lagoon swimming, a nicely-designed pool, and an always-sunny location in South Kohala. It also happens to be a convenient base for exploring much of the northern half of the island, including Kohala, Honokaa, Kona, and even the Mauna Kea cvlcano.


  • Description:

    • From the snow-capped mountains to erupting volcanoes; from tropical rainforests to an amazing undersea world, this resort offers a lot to those obsessed with adventure. Each room at this 32-acre resort offers a breath-taking view of the beach, which is only seconds away. If you are lucky, you may even be able to get close to the elusive resident sea turtles. There's plenty more to keep you busy...an outdoor spa and lounge, a golf course, watersports, hiking, or weaving a coconut leaf basket. Water, of course, is everywhere—you can snorkel in Pauoa Bay, or swim in the 10,000-square-foot oceanfront swimming pool.

      If you like big resorts, this is the place

    • To begin, we are not big resort fans; too many folks and we like to adventure beyond the hotel. That said, we stayed here at the end of our travels on the big island and it was exquisite...
