What Do Guests Think? An Analysis of 1000 Guest Reviews


Reviewer Portrait

The following executive summary is based on a comprehensive and impartial AI analysis of guest reviews. Keep in mind that all units are individually owned, and review scores among units can vary considerably.

Travelers consistently love the Ilikai’s location and classic Waikiki vibe. Set at the quieter end of Waikiki by the marina and Hilton lagoon, it’s an easy walk to beaches, Ala Moana Center, shops, restaurants, and tour pick‑ups. Many units have sweeping ocean/marina views from large lanais—perfect for sunsets, Friday-night fireworks, and even watching surfers. Guests appreciate having full kitchens to save on meals, plus thoughtful extras like beach chairs, towels, coolers, and boogie boards. Onsite perks (two pools, coffee shop, market, restaurants including the rooftop Pesca) and generally smooth, responsive host communication round out an easy, family‑friendly stay.

The experience can vary by unit because they’re individually owned. Many condos are renovated, spotless, and well equipped; others feel dated or show wear (tired furnishings, sticky sliders/blinds, limited cookware, or deep‑cleaning needs). Common recurring themes: AC can be noisy or struggle in west‑facing units; pools are smaller and close early; elevators can be slow during busy periods; valet parking is convenient but pricey (marina/self‑parking is a popular alternative). Laundry is usually shared on each floor (not in‑unit), which some guests didn’t expect. Urban realities—traffic noise, pigeons on balconies, occasional construction next door, and rare false fire alarms—come up, and a temporary labor strike at a neighboring property made daytime noise a factor for some recent stays.

Overall sentiment is strongly positive, with many repeat guests who’d “stay again” for the views, walkability, and condo convenience over resort frills. If you’re sensitive to heat or noise, request an updated unit with solid AC and consider a higher floor or lagoon/marina exposure; confirm bed layouts, laundry setup, and parking plans in advance. Corner units with two lanais are especially popular. Expect an iconic, older building with plenty of charm and modern comforts—more “home base with a postcard view” than full‑service luxury—and you’ll likely have a great stay.

Beautiful condo! Great views of the ocean from the balcony! Had everything that we needed and would love to stay here again!!

Owner communication and check-in were excellent. Our host met us at Ilikai and gave us a tour. Kitchen is well stocked. Supplies of soap, garbage bags, paper towels, and tp are more than adequate for one week stay. We used the valet for parking and had no issues but around checkout time everyday it can take 15 minutes to retrieve car. Good view of lagoon from lanai but Friday fireworks view is obstructed by Hilton. Air conditioning worked well. Within walking distance of large shopping center and restaurants.

This was our third time to stay in this condo. As usual, it was sparkling clean, easy to check into. The view is beautiful, and so close to restaurants, shopping and of course the beach and lagoon. The bed and furniture are comfortable, and I appreciate the small kitchen table in the dining area. The lanai is furnished with a table and several chairs too. The kitchen is well supplied with any cooking pot or utensil you will need. I appreciate the walk in shower and all the storage areas in the bathroom and near the bed. The condo flooring, kitchen, air conditioning and bathroom is updated, unlike some others at the Ilikai. Mark and Christine are easy to work with, and there if you need them. We will be booking with them again next year.

This was a great condo rental. The view was fantastic and the space was perfect for 2 people. The rental was clean and easy to check in with the electronic code we were given. The Hawaiian music that was playing on the TV when we arrived was a wonderful welcome after a long day of travel. Would definitely stay again.

It was absolutely fabulous. The view from the balcony was spectacular. Room, kitchen and bathroom were very clean. Requisites for the beach chairs, towels, umbrella, surfing board so convenient and we use them all. Thank you so much.Highly recommend to our friends and family.We are looking forward to come again soon. Mahalo.

This condo was awesome. We absolutely loved it. Had everything you need. Very clean. Comfortable beds. Close to the beach. Restaurant and market on site. Valet parking was expensive but very convenient. Great place to stay.

Great place for the money. The view is amazing. Having breakfast on the balcony everyday was so relaxing. The televisions are high quality and large. We had several fun movie nights.Only a few dislikes, the a/c in the main bedroom is loud. It didn't bother my spouse but it bothered me. The toilet gets in the way to enter the shower. The 45 daily parking fee is so much.*** Maintenance crew of the building entered our condo while we were gone to "inspect a water leak." But there was no leak and we never reported a leak. Even with these few issues, I'd stay again.

The location was good. It is advertised as a vintage kitchen. It was old and dirty. Stove, oven need deep cleaning. Refrigerator was dirty and rusted on the outside. Caulk in shower was dirty, rusty and moldy.

The condo had a great view and plenty of supplies. We loved having 2 bathrooms. We didn't cook at all but when we had a tsunami scare it was great to have pitchers and glasses to fill up water in case. The owner offered lots of tips to make our stay easy and convenient.

We loved our stay here. The building (Ilikai resort) is older but the apartment is great. Two large balconies wrap around a corner unit. Lots of space to hang out in the living/dining room. Good AC.

We had a wonderful experience staying at this condo. From the moment we arrived, everything matched the website’s description and photos—no surprises, just exactly what we hoped for. The condo was perfect for the two of us, but I can see how it would be comfortable enough for a family of four (not to mention it’s a great value for the money).The highlight for us was the shaded balcony with its great view of the beach and the lagoon. It quickly became our favorite spot—we started every morning there with coffee and ended most evenings with dinner, soaking in the scenery and gentle breeze. And we got to watch the Hilton fireworks right from the balcony twice.The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed to prepare meals, which made it feel like a true home away from home. The king bed was comfortable, the sofa as comfortable as a pull-out can be :). We got plenty of bath and beach towels. The Ilikai building location was ideal—close to everything we wanted to see and do. Whether we were heading to the beach, grabbing groceries, or checking out local restaurants, everything was just a short walk away.Communication with management was great, it’s a big plus that they are located in the same building.We’d absolutely stay here again and recommend it to anyone looking for a cozy and well-appointed place to stay.

Clean, awesome location, close to all Waikiki has to offer. I had a request to fix a clogged shower drain and someone showed up literally 5 minutes later and took care of it. Communications with the management company were timely and professional.

Darko was a great host. He responded promptly and was very helpful. The unit is small but the location more than makes up for it. It accommodated my husband, myself and our 16 year old daughter just fine. The view from the balcony is amazing. Thanks Darko!

Full window view of the city was amazing. Actual condo was nice, but a few improvements would’ve made it amazing. Surfaces and kitchen were clean, but vents and baseboards could use a cleaning. Kitchen was stocked with pots, pans and plenty of cookware, but the silverware was missing many spoons. While the rental agency was quick to reply and bring four new patio chairs, I should not have had to contact them about four of eight chairs being completely broken. I am sure they would’ve also provided more silverware, however, I did not want to deal with that communication and coordination on vacation.Location was great for walking around to shopping, dinner,and a very quick walk to the beach. Beach chairs, boogie boards and cooler were definitely bonuses as were the ice packs in the freezer!With a full kitchen, but no dishwasher, it would have been nice to have kitchen towels. The rental agency said they did not supply them and suggested I use paper towels to dry the dishes. Luckily, they provided two sets of bath towels, which we ended up using in the kitchen too. Plenty of hangers and a dresser in the master bedroom however no nightstands was annoying as there was nowhere to set glasses and phones, etc. Second bedroom had a nightstand and closet however no dresser or luggage stands so my kids lived out of their luggage on the floor. Overall, the place was nice but priced at the high end of the market, a few little things would have made it a much better experience.

We enjoyed our stay. It was as advertised. The beds were very comfortable, and the kitchen was well stocked. We were within walking distance of a fabulous food truck park.

The property was super clean and actually had sharp chef's knives in the kitchen which made a world of difference when we cooked in. While the decor was a bit dated, the property was super clean from rugs to kitchen to bathroom.We stayed for a week and spent mornings and evenings on the balcony enjoying the views. Convenient location away from the hustle and bustle of downtown Waikiki yet close enough to make the 15-20 minute walk when needed.

Second time in this room and third time in Ilikai. Great location, building, room and amenities. Will be back next year.
Richard B.
August 2025

Location was excellent and the room was perfect for our family of five. Unfortunately, when we arrived the floor was filthy (turning our bare feet and socks black dirty). They finally did send someone up to clean it but she only had a cleaning spray and a dry mop to clean it all up. It took some time, but she cleaned the floor spotless (Get her a mop, y'all!). All communication was prompt and helpful from the staff. We loved our stay!Some tips that aren't clear by the listing: 1. Laundry costs 2 for detergent, 3 for wash, and 3 for drying. 2. Parking in the Ilikai Marina garage was most economical for us (33/day) and was a 2-3 min walk. Super easy. 3. You do have access to the pools, though we didn't use them (you're in Hawaii!)

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The property is at a convenient location (walkalbe to many attractions) and has a great ocean view. The unit may need a little bit of upgrade, but we enjoyed the Friday fireworks from the balcony. Beach chairs, towels, umbrella and some beach activity toys are available in the unit and free parking is plus.

Very nice property and accurately described. Only in town for 2 days so didnt get to take full advantage of the amenities and area, but in a great and convenient location if you want to be on Waikiki. Only thing missing was lack of beach towels, but we made do. Would stay here again!

Check in was super easy with door code. Instructions were clear to get to the hotel and to get into the room. Perfect setup for me, my spouse, a 24 year old and 12 year old. Pretty view from the balcony. Lots of food options in hotel, including Dave’s Ice Cream which was delicious! A market downstairs as well if you need snacks, drinks, etc. Always easy to get an Uber quickly right from the main entrance of the hotel. Could easily walk to the lagoon and beach from the back side of the hotel. Would recommend staying here for your Oahu adventures!

The view of this room was incredible, had an amazing ocean and firework show view. I wanted to love this room but unfortunately my 1 week stay was not the best experience. Day 1 started with having a leak in the rest room ceiling. Water leaked on toilet while trying to use it. The property manager was very responsive and sent a repair quickly. Unfortunately it did not end there, the room appears to have a roach infestation. We encountered numerous roaches big and small. The property manager was understanding and offered a cleaning and full/partial refund and an additional deep cleaning on day 2. Unfortunately the cleaning did not do much, because there were still roaches after that. No other rooms available and with a full itinerary did not have time to look for any other last minute hotel options close to our activities we had planned. This made for an uncomfortable stay and we definitely did not get to use the kitchen as planned due to concerns with roaches. We tried to keep food to a minimum in the room and only ate on the balcony and it was not enough for the roach issue. Unfortunately we had to take extra precautions when getting back home to avoid spreading the roach infestation to my home. The property owner is very nice and response but the roach issue was a big problem for me.

The place was great, big enough for the whole family and had everything we need. The kitchen had all cooking supplies that we needed and we even got to do an early check-in.
