    The Fairmont is likely as good of a “Resort” property as one could find. I am not a fan of Resorts, But when in Hawaii it is difficult to not stay in one. Fairmont is well presented, certainly not a value proposition, but nicely done. Good food, Bars, Pool, etc. shower in the bathtub was far better than the separate shower. Facility does need some paint and refreshing. Grounds and Location are beautiful. I like Fairmont Hotels and they are a brand I seek out, when traveling.

    Wonderful location with great beach for snorkeling and sea turtle viewing.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    A big highlight that was beneficial to our stay was the complimentary refillable water bottles. There are many refillable water stations throughout the resort and we took them out everyday around the island. Another amenity is the free shuttle rides throughout the Mauna Lea district for food options or entertainment. I did like the proximity to a private beach for snorkeling and/or swimming. I can't forget about the complimentary coffee at 5-6am. For the critiques, I'd wish they had a bigger pool. It does get crowded and ppl are scrounging for lounge chairs. Other resorts have bigger pools with splash pads to give some fun for the kiddos. Also for the room, we found it difficult to live out of our suitcases since there isn't any drawer space. They have a lot of hanger space tho. It is a very beautiful resort with many amenities to keep you busy. If I'm ever lucky to return to the big island, I wouldn't oppose a return

  • Engine customer May 2026

    Such a beautiful place to stay! Walking into the hotel and seeing the blue Pacific Ocean right in front of you was breathtaking. The hotel had gorgeous gardens all around the property. We enjoyed the complimentary snorkel equipment on the final day. The room service twice a day will definitely spoil you!
