"Wow! Location! Swimmable lagoon, safe, clean with sand beach! Wonderful large and very clean pool, never crowded! Absolutely tremendous service from the first to the last minute! Thanks to the amazing manager Rose, who did above and beyond to help us with the upgraded room and then asked every day if we needed anything, accompanied us daily with recommendations and suggestions. All the staff were extremely attentive, supportive and helpful and fulfilled all our requests! We had unforgettable vacation in Fairmont Orchid and will come back next year definitely. P.S. food is delicious in resort, but expensive. There are nearby grocery stores where you can save some money and find everything you need including hot food."

"Let’s start off with check in…it’s easy. Your reservation is held for you and upgrades are offered when available for purchase. A great offer. You are at an older hotel…get over it. It’s beautiful and is walkable to downtown Kailua. ABC is across the street. You will have one of three towers. The lagoon, Alii and the Bay. The pool is amazing and the view is what you are paying for, totally awesome. Parking: easy. Your room key gets you in and out. It’s self parking. Your room will have a balcony and a table and chairs. If you are an early riser you need to hit breakfast early to save time and not be in line. 6:45 latest. Happy hour is at 4. If there is entertainment that evening I recommend getting a table at 3:45-4 If you are lucky to be waited on by Amy she’s amazing and by far your largest resource is a guy named Forest. He has the scoop on the entire property and is kind. "
