Fairmont Orchid

Fairmont Orchid

10/10 Excellent
"My husband and I had a wonderful one week stay at Fairmont Orchid. The weather was perfect mid October, and this area is generally very dry. We were looking to unwind and only rented a car for one day to go visit Volcano village and the botanical gardens in Hilo. I do recommend a one and a half hour scenic drive to the beautiful gardens. Snorkeling in the hotel lagoon was an amazing experience. There are so many turtles there and different kinds of fish. The hotel provides snorkeling equipment free of charge. Do not forget water shoes for swimming. I saw many sea urchins. There were plenty of chaises in the shade as well as in the sun, and you could also rent covered chaises as well as private cabanas. The food is good but it’s better at the neighboring Mauna Lani for the same money. The shuttle will take you there free of charge. You can walk there along the beach. We enjoyed both resorts. Fairmont guests are welcome at Mauna Lani. Overall, great relaxing time."

Ocean Front Home with a Sandy Beach

Ocean Front Home with a Sandy Beach

10/10 Excellent
"The beach view is excellent. The laundry, dishwasher, stove and oven work great. Two refrigerators are very handy. Beach towels, bath towels and linens are excellent. Parking off street is great. The house has many comfortable sitting areas inside and out. Working with the host was excellent. Star gazing is excellent. Neighborhood is very quiet. There is access to several beaches in Puako and there are many turtle sightings.The home needs a deep cleaning and some plumbing leaks addressed. A working ice maker in the refrigerator would be helpful. Some general handyman work is needed to fix the sliding glass door to lanai which needs a new roller to slide well, fix a ceiling fan in the 1st bedroom and the shower head in main house bathroom which has very poor pressure, The screens on the windows and doors were in excellent shape. Bugs and cockroaches are present in Hawaii but I think a deep cleaning would help."

10/10 Excellent
"We loved our second stay in this house. The view is one-of-a-kind, and the house is such a beautiful gem. We love the coquis at night, the stars and enjoying the humid air of Hawaii. Honoka’a is a nice town, and the Waipi’o Fruit Shack is right down the road. You’ll probably be visiting Waimea (30 minutes) or across the island to Mauna Lani, etc. (1 ro 1.25 hours), but the longer drive is still worth it for staying in such a lovely house. You’ll have a wonderful experience!"

3 Story House - 10 Beds - steps to the Beach-Shore! **No Hurricane damage/impact

10/10 Excellent
"Our party included an extended family of 13 ranging from grandparents to grandkids. The house was a perfect fit with Hawaii style and comforts. We happen to be there when Hurricane LaLa was approaching and the host and his onsite overseer were proactive in communication. When the power went out that communication and care continued. If you’re going to be stuck due to bad weather, power outages, and closed state beaches, you can’t beat Puako. So many places to access snorkeling and sunsets. The house is a great location to discover Waikola, Kohala, and Kona. All in all, we’re grateful to our hosts for making sure we could enjoy the house safely and comfortably the whole time."
