Yesterday, we told you about Hawaiian Airlines’ cheap flights to Hawaii. And today, in honor of ABC’s "The Bachelorette" finale (in case you missed it, Jillian chose Ed, who left mid-series to go back to his job but had second thoughts and begged producers to bring him back to the show… but I digress..)
… we’re spotlighting the Fairmont Orchid on Big Island, Hawaii, where the final episode was filmed.
Jillian and Ed certainly set the mood at this 32-acre Fairmont Orchid Resort, which has earned accolades from Travel + Leisure, AAA and Conde Nast Traveler. The resort sits on the Kohala Coast and is, quite simply, made for romance. Guest rooms and suites boast lanais overlooking hotel gardens, impressive waterfalls and picturesque ocean views, which I'm sure made Jillian forget all about Reid's spontaneous return to win her love before Ed popped the question.
When it’s time to eat, dine like the happy couple, who were treated to a meal by Sushi Chef Norio Yamamoto, at Norio’s Japanese Restaurant and Sushi Bar. Or relax at the hotel’s Spa Without Walls, which boasts nine private outdoor waterfall huts and six ocean-side treatment rooms.
Add even more magic to your stay with the “Make Room for Romance” package for an additional $125. Maybe it's similar to the "Fantasy Suite" in The Bachelorette… but we encourage you to create your own fantasies. Amenities include orchid petals leading to the bed, a bottle of chilled champagne, chocolate-covered strawberries, floating candles in the bathroom and other romantic details.
Rates vary, but we found August prices start at $449/night, while September and October room rates are available from $314/night. Grab those rooms and the cheap flights to Hawaii we told you about, and jet off to paradise.
And, we’d guess your stay at the Fairmont Orchid Resort may just be a little more romantic than the Bachelorette’s visit. After all, you won’t have a camera crew following your every move, unless you're into that kind of thing.
