My stay at the Fairmont Orchid was truly exceptional, with breathtaking views and a wealth of on-site recreational activities, including great snorkeling opportunities right in the lagoon. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, though I found the price a bit on the higher side, especially for dining. The facilities were well-maintained, making the overall experience luxurious. However, the construction noise during my stay was quite disruptive.
