I recently spent a few nights at the Fairmont Orchid, and overall, it was a wonderful experience. The hotel has beautiful gardens and access to the beach, making it an ideal place to relax. The rooms were clean and comfortable, but I did encounter some service issues that detracted from my stay. While breakfast options were plentiful, the dining service could be improved. However, the facilities were great, and I enjoyed the pool area.

My stay at the Fairmont Orchid was an incredible experience! The stunning grounds were a highlight, with beautiful tropical landscaping and ample opportunities for snorkeling right off the beach. While the rooms were spacious and comfortable, I found the dining options to be hit or miss, particularly with the breakfast variety. Though it was an amazing trip overall, the fitness center could definitely use some updating.

The expansive rooms provided ample space, while the dining options offered a nice variety, albeit at higher prices.

My recent stay at the hotel was both beautiful and frustrating. The grounds were absolutely stunning and well-maintained, providing a paradise-like atmosphere. However, the service during check-in was a major drawback, as I experienced a very long wait without satisfactory communication, which really impacted my first impression. The food options were good, but they felt overpriced for what they offered. Overall, it's a gorgeous place but be prepared for some service hiccups and high dining prices.
