Christof Leudi was at Kea Lani, before becoming General Manager at the Fairmont Orchid. There has been quite a few high priced changes, since Christof took over the reigns. Some good, some improvements.. but all in all, the sustainability of a Hawaii resort is evident, as Christof did some excellent work for years at Kea Lani.
I agree, it sounds weird that a suite at Kea Lani is cheaper than a room at the Orchid.
