Here's what others have had to say about Fairmont Orchid, Hawaii.
"Beautiful location and tennis facility. Tennis Pros Liane Depontes and Jon Griesser keep you busy with topflight lessons, clinics, and Free Play. Great tennis vacation"—C.H., Adv. Int., March 2012
"Amazing experience! The resort itself is so nice, it was exactly what I was looking for, one of the most relaxing I have stayed at on Hawaii and the location was very nice. The tennis instructor was very knowledgeable, she knew what she was talking about and she made the lesson easy to understand and helped improve my stroke and my grasp of tennis. Her name was Liane. I would take another lesson with her for sure and I would reccommend her to my friends"—K.K., Low Int., November 2011
"Great daily tennis clinics and wonderful, accommodating staff! Makes a great vacation even better with a fun, on court workout to start each day."—T.D., Adv., November 2011
"My sister and I took two lessons with Jon, the head pro, at the Fairmont Orchid. I had not played in over a decade and Jon made re-entry into tennis easy and fun. The staff at the front desk lent me some great racquets and we had a blast with Jon. He was sensitive to the heat and made sure we were having fun and not taking it too seriously. My only regret is that we didn't get to play with Jon more. The courts were beautiful and the setting was lush."—C.M., Int., May 2011
"This is the second time around for our family and our 3 kids couldn't wait for their lessons from John Griesser. John's passion and love of the game are infectious. John, keep up the good work and we look forward to learning more from you next February."—J.M., Adv. Int., April 2011
"Awesome "—B.P., Adv., December 2010
"Friendly,personable,confident,competent pros; Jon Griesser & Liane Despontes. If only one or two people show up for the daily clinic, then you get a private or semi-private lesson at no extra cost.Best court rates:$30 per hour per court not $30 per person! Focus is on fun and positive reinforcement. Significantly improved my forehand - forever! Best tennis vacation ever! We did not stay at the Orchid but it is a beautiful Hotel on the ocean."—R.H., Int., April 2010
"The Fairmont Orchid Hotel, located on the Big Island, "Hawaii" is truly a sanctuary for tennis and all round enjoyment. The island is known for it's diversity but driving into the Fairmont Orchid at Mauna Lani and looking eastward this past December to the snow capped Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa mountains was breathtaking. And minutes later my wife and I are enjoying a 9:00 AM clinic overlooking the ocean in a comfortable 81 degree temperature.
The tennis facilities are absolutely gorgeous and the instruction provide by Hector Mendoza was second to none. Hector provides a great teaching style that is accomodating to all levels, very upbeat and informative. They truly embrace the "Aloha Spirit" throughout all their tennis programs as well as the beautiful "Orchid" hotel."—B.G., Adv. Int., January 2008
"We loved our time spent at the Fairmont Orchid. My husband and I spent a week there in February on business. We hope to bring our children there someday. The setting was beautiful. The hotel was clean and the service was great. We had the privilege of working with Hector through the group clinics, skills court, and Hit with a Pro. His easy to follow adjustments in our strokes and his strategy tips have made a big improvement in our games."—T.D., Low Int., March 2007
"Fantastic!! Overall I would recommend this resort to anyone and in particular to tennis players who want a 5 star resort and some tennis.
My wife and two children 12 and 8, spent a week at the Fairmonth before Christmas. We played tennis every day, attended several clinics, had private lessons and I was matched twice. The facilities are first rate, they have 8 hard courts and a great tennis shop. We never had trouble getting a court. Center court is sunken with seating for 200 hundred. Coaching was first rate.
The resort is 5 star in every way. Rooms were nice, setting is beautiful. gym is new and big. Spa is excellent. Great pool, good deli, nice beach/lagoon, good restaurants. Had a nice golf course but I didn't play. Only complaint was the atmosphere of the japanese restaurant needs improving (it doubles as a breakfast place).
I recommend this place highly to tennis and non-tenns players."—S.R., Adv. Int., March 2007
