"Fairmont Orchid on the Big Island's Kohala Coast is fronted by a white sand beach, with a lobby overlooking the ocean that often plays host to evening ‘ukulele concerts. Rooms feature lanais, rattan furniture, and carpeting with bamboo motifs. Onsite restaurant Brown’s Beach House focuses on fish dishes such as crab-crusted mahimahi and an excellent kids menu. Alternatively, belly up to the 14-seat sushi bar at Binchotan Bar & Grill, where they serve you dinner in style: Standout dishes include sea urchin eggs, Hawaiian abalone, and octopus. Save Friday nights for Fairmont’s Hawaii Loa Luau under the stars." - Caitlin Morton
