Hawaii Island Luxury Holidays

O

My husband was unexpectedly unable to join me on the trip. But my cousin came along instead. When I explained what happened, they helpfully changed my king room to a double queen. This is my second trip to the Fairmont Orchid. The beach and pool are lovely. The food is fabulous. The grounds are immaculate. The outdoor spa can't be beat with the sound of the running water. I had picked the Orchid originally because I wanted a place my husband would enjoy while I was off scuba diving. With my cousin with me (who also dives), I sometimes wished we were closer to the harbor. But, the Orchid really can't be beat for a beautiful spot to enjoy (and it is close to some of the lovely state beaches to the north -- not that you need to go to them given the lovely cove with drinks service!!) Oh! And if you happen to be there on a "talk story" weekend at the nearby Eva Parker Woods Cottage, you should go!

The room we stayed in said it was a partial ocean view. When looking out the sliding glass doors from the living room, we had more of an ocean view than we were expecting. We also had partial ocean views when looking out from both bedrooms. The property has 3 pools and one of them is a quiet pool, which is the one we used the most. We arrived after hours and the security guy was helpful with showing us where the condo was located and then we were able to go the next morning to finish checking in.

Slept, had breakfast and left didn’t use amenities.
