At the beach, be sure to meet the native Hawaiian Green Sea Turtles that bask on the shoreline every afternoon. The Hui Holokai Beach Club Ambassadors not only cater to the beach comforts of guests by setting up chairs and cabanas with towels and ice water, checking out beach equipment and suggesting sunscreen, but the real fun begins when they share their knowledge of Hawaii Island's rich cultural heritage as well as their own Hawaiian legacies mixed alongside.

    Beautiful resort and worth the price

    We got married at the Fairmont Orchid in February 2025. Absolutely amazing event with excellent service by our coordinator on-site, Yvette. She made our day and week extra special 💗. The grounds are immaculate! Great beach area with lounge chairs and perfect spot for a little lagoon snorkeling. Brown's Beachouse Restaurant is amazing! Great food and perfect ambiance. I would definitely stay here again!

    Orchid surfing experience

    Surfing was great, Noah was outstanding. You better be fit. Love surfing even though I’m not so great at it. Thanks. I’ll be back as soon as I can. The surf and the swells were challenging for me but the staff provided excellent advice and guidance.

    Last day in Hawaii with Spa day

    Wow wow wow! The best facial I’ve ever had! Lisa was so informative the entire time, explaining what she was doing and what was going on my face. She examined my face under light before doing anything and made recommendations explaining and answering all my questions. My skin is shining and feels so soft. The staff was friendly and kind. Kayla was so sweet. We used the spa all day going in and out as it was our last day on the island, so used all the spa amenities to freshen up prior to travel. Thank you for making our last day relaxing and easy! Mahalo!
