    The staff, food and view were incredible. The room could be cleaner we were upgraded to a suite for an extra cost and the sink knobs were rusted, the tub was growing mold in small areas and glass doors and closer mirror doors were not clean. We stayed for 5 nights and used the dining table often it was never cleaned the entire time we were there. We also encounter large cockroaches at the gift shop and near the room. Made staff aware right before checking out and their response was thank you we will pass it on to management,

    Snorkeling was wonderful on property. The pool was beautiful. The grounds were well maintained and luscious. Food at the pool was delicious. Breakfast buffet was OK. Balcony lounge food could be improved.

    It is an excellent resort. Staff members are friendly and helpful. Room is spacious. At the end of my stay, there was a cockroach running in the bathroom.

    They go over and beyond 5 star

    Honestly, I expect more from a hotel that’s this expensive. There were things that needed to be fixed everywhere I looked. Our room was supposedly just renovated, but it was a sloppy renovation job. The pool table looked like it was from a fraternity house, worn out and ripped. The workout room never had hand sanitizer or wipes. Our bathroom smelled like mildew, and our hallway often had loud industrial dryers set up. We also stayed at the other hotel down the beach, so we couldn’t help but compare the two. The other hotel had umbrellas, cushioned chairs, fresh water in your room, and a better buffet. To say we were disappointed in the fairmont orchid would be an understatement.

    Amazing experience, great resort with exceptional staff, private beach perfect for snorkeling and for kids to play safely

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    It’s difficult to magnify any one thing ,that made our vacation a five star stay, but everything was well meshed and coordinated, and that saves time and ease-well done to the team that makes a stay fluid and care free….

    Good

    The hotel is really amazing ... the pool, the beach, the room, the restaurant; the only negative point is that at the check out day, the hotel doesn't offer you a place to have a shower! It's so disappointing, specially if your flight is at night that a hotel of this level can't offer their guest this "treat"!

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    Room was good size, door was sticky and a light did not work. It was fixed but stopped a few hours later. Great sunsets from all the restaurants. Spa was a nice experience. Snorkel rent is convenient. Grounds are lovely. Restaurants are expensive and the food is ok but not great. Room service is not available until 7:15 am. Menu says 6:30 but that’s when they start not when you can get food. There is a deli on the grounds that you can go to that opens earlier.

    Beautiful!
