The staff and property were amazing. My best friend and I went there for my 50th and they really gave us white glove service upgrading our room, champaign, birthday cake, and plenty of the staff all around the property were just so genuinely interested in making it a great experience for us. I so enjoyed that this island is not packed like the others. It is low key. I can't wait to go back!

We had a hiccup with our original accommodation, but the Fairmont staff turned what could have been a stressful situation into a magical experience. From the moment we arrived, the team went above and beyond, ensuring every detail of our stay was perfect. Their warmth and friendliness truly made us feel like we were at home. The hotel itself is stunning, but it was the people who made our visit unforgettable. In fact, we were so taken by the exceptional service and ambiance that we decided to spend most of our time at the hotel, soaking in the beauty and enjoying the luxurious amenities, rather than exploring the island as initially planned. If you're looking for a place that combines elegance with heartfelt hospitality, the Fairmont on Big Island is the perfect choice. We can't wait to return!

Gorgeous property, but most staff was rude and visibly annoyed with any requests for assistance. Food & drinks in the lobby lounge was average at best. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and very nice. The grounds were beautiful with running streams, waterfalls, and large pool.

The property is currently undergoing maintenance. Rooms are dated and therefore not worth the price we paid. Service overall was not that great except for a handful of very hardworking and pleasant staff. Food was pricey which was true for most hotel restaurants in that region. All of the extra costs (from tennis, beach rentals etc.)around the property quickly add-up. The private beach was nice and the pool was decent. May come back in the future if service improves and the rooms are in better condition. Overall quite disappointed.

It was our first time staying here. We were blown away by the service. They sent us a bottle of champagne for our anniversary. Upon arrival they also sent gifts for our little ones. The spa was amazing too. The service, food, location, room, and property were all excellent. We will definitely come back.
