This service I never receive at any of the Fairmonts.. in fact its a bit of a chore and follow up just to get a light bulb changed.

Yesterday, we went Hanauma Bay, and the Trump Waikiki concierge provided us with not just one bag, but two beach bags full of towels, fruit, sunscreen, etc. If this was a Fairmont, dare I say they would charge me at least $85 for all of that. I haven't checked out yet, but I haven't been nickled and dimed here at Trump as I normally do at Fairmont. Which is breath of fresh air to say the least.

The only thing that Trump should do, and I'm not sure if this is actually the hotel, but the someone has got to get rid of the Cuisinart TFal cookwear. That stuff just peels off when cooking and is a carcinogen.

Other pluses, includes slippers, concierge assistance (3 times they printed out directions and three times it was there for me when leaving).. btw, Fairmont does not print out and have it ready a concierge, in fact I would be lucky not to call an answering machine at concierge.. the concierge is always accessible by phone, or main floor at Trump.
Why do you keep comparing the Trump to a Fairmont when there is no Fairmont on Oahu. Compare it to what the concierge at Halekulani, Kahala, Ali'i Tower and Royal Hawaiian would do.

If the Fairmonts are as bad as you make them sound on Hawaii and Maui, why aren't you at the Ritz, Four Seasons, Manua Lani or Mauna Kea?
