A great fit for our family of 8. Location was ideal for site seeing and parking in a covered ramp was super nice to have. Balconies overlooking the marina and ocean were also nice. They had a cooler, umbrella and body boards available for us to use too. The host was super responsive when we had a couple questions.

Very happy with the property. It was very clean, the bed was very comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked with enough utensils to prepare anything we wanted. One thing, could use another frying pan. Would definitely recommend this place.

The views from the 2 lanais were outstanding and perfect for sun and shade lovers any time of day. The unit however needs a complete facelift. The furniture is vintage garage sale/thrift shop decor'. The shower needs a good grout cleaning. The kitchen is poorly appointed without even an oven mitt. The glassware, if a wine drinker, is great but the other glassware is plastic some of it cracked as are the plastic bowls. Bedding was below average and cheap garage sale quality. Having a washer/dryer is a big plus for extended stays. Did I mention the great view! The Ilikai is one of my favorite condos having stayed there over 75 days the last couple of years (not in this unit). The Ilikai has great pools and sun opportunities all day. Convenient to a much less crowded beach than Waikiki Beach and Duke's lagoon where you can learn to paddleboard. Did I mention the great lanais? I wish owners would leave cleaning supplies for us renters so we could take better care of cleaning the units during our stay. Why wouldn't you want that? Great views!

Came in a day before the reservation and had a disappointing hotel stay, so it was a relief walking into this unit. Shows signs of use, but everything was in working order, parking was convenient in the marina garage, property was nice. We didn’t need anything during the stay, but communication we did receive was courteous.

The Ilikai is a beautiful property, the people & staff are wonderful, kind, & helpful— loved each and every interaction. We loved sitting outside eating dinner and watching the sunset. Check in and check out process was quick and easy. The location of Ilikai is in walking distance to Waikiki Beach, Ala Moana Center, convention center, the beach & lagoon for swimming. There are great places to eat and grab coffee close by, downstairs has great options for a quick bite, coffee, and a little market for all your needs. I loved our room, it was spacious & having a kitchen was a big win. The pool is lovely, our kids loved it and so did we. There is a place to rinse off the sand by the pool which is awesome! If you’re a couple staying at the Ilikai check out the STUNNING restaurant on the 30th floor. Overall a lovely place to stay, I’ll definitely rebook in the future. I highly recommend.

A lot of old people. Fireworks is not everyday and Luau not every day. Additionally there was no hand soap or bath soap. So you come in the first day and use the toilet but you can’t wash your hands. Albeit, the host remedied that the next day.

We enjoyed this property, very comfortable and the area was perfect. It needs some love, the finishings are worn, shower head leaked non stop and the bathroom sink didn't drain very well. The cabinets in the kitchen were nice, the bathroom needs some love. Overall nice place to stay! we had a great time.

The condo is located in the Ilikai Hotel & Suites. It's conveniently located and everything is in close proximity. We used the trolley and ubers that cost anywhere from 8 to 15 in the area.The condo is as advertised and had everything we needed to feel comfortable.

The photos show exactly what it is. The room definitely needs upgrading, but it was comfortable. We had great communication with the property management people and all inquiries were handled quickly and efficiently. We have stayed at the Ilikai for many years (always a different suite). You can’t beat the location and not having to pay the resort fees to stay on the beach (can be 50 US/day) is a real bonus.

Everything was like advertised. The parking garage is extremely tight to drive in. I do not recommend a larger vehicle. Location is good for stores, food and beach.

From start to finish, this rental was perfect! From booking to the tears shed having to leave, everything was perfect. We have stayed in several condos in this building and this was by far our favorite condo. Very clean, perfectly stocked and love the modern feel! The view from the balcony was awesome! We literally wouldn’t change a thing about our stay!! We were able to relax and worry only about making memories for our 4 year old daughter! Can’t wait to come back!!!

Easy checkin, great location , large balcony. Condo is well stocked kitchen . Bathroom toilet needs to be secured as it moves when in use. Shower prices lukewarm water temp so no hot showers and A/C unit makes more noise than usual especially at night. Otherwise a decent condo . Ilikai is well located to beach , Ala Moana mall and other venues.

The view is one of the best features of this place. It is very comfortable and worked out very well for our family of 3. Ilikai can be a bit crowded but the location of the condo away from the central elevator area is helpful - it was surprisingly quiet.

Ilikai is perfect! A lovely hotel/condo close to everything. Easy to access turo cars, shopping, beaches, malls, and night life. Our roomHad a lovely view of the harbor, sunsets, and music at the restaurant below. Everything you need is within the unit. My only suggestion is a soap tray for the bathroom sink. Thank you for a lovely week.

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: Beautiful property located in the Ilikai on the 19th floor. Furnishings and kitchen and bedrooms were more than adequate. One of the cutting boards in the kitchen was dirty and the floors were sticky in some areas. Overall it was a great place to stay and you really cant beat the view at any time of day. We put the beach chairs to good use and they were fantastically comfortable. Although we did have to youtube how to fold them back together which is ridiculously simple as it should be.

We can’t say enough about Oceanfront Ilikai. This condo is open, airy and plenty spacious for 2 …or more. The condo is well-appointed with everything you can think of for a stay at Waikiki…beach chairs, noodles, cooler, yoga mat, snorkels, extra balcony seating. I was especially thankful for two luggage racks (most rentals seem to forget luggage racks) and the parking option. We both found the mattress to be very, very comfortable. I should also mention there is great closet space, extra towels and pillows for those who have a longer stay.We were all over Waikiki …walking, beaching, dining, shopping and this was the perfect location. Our friends who were staying at the Holiday Inn visited us for drinks and loved the condo as well.Our communication with the owner Chris was excellent—all instructions were spot on and timely. Thank you to Chris and Keirsten for a wonderful vacation…wish we could have stayed longer!

The Ilikai Resort and Hotel is a great place if you want to be in the heart of Waikiki, and especially if you are looking for somewhere that isn't as pricey as the high hotels just a block away.The building is a little older than what the images on the listing imply, however the unit was spacious and comfortable. My only real complaint is that the kitchen was lacking some basic necessities to make it functional. Basics like more than one dish cloth, no kettle to boil water, no colander to strain anything and so on, make cooking a little more complicated than it should be. The other thing I would take into consideration, the street noise...the windows and sliding doors do nothing to block out the very busy and loud Ala Moana road just below the unit. If you are a light sleeper be prepared to be up with all the delivery drivers doing their runs at 6 am.Otherwise I would recommend unit 709 as a great place to enjoy the Waikiki and surrounding area.

We stayed for 7 nights and had a wonderful time! The location was perfect—everything we wanted to do was within walking distance, and we didn't even need to rent a car. The condo was spotless and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay.Our only minor issue, though not really a complaint, was that the bed was a bit too hard for our liking. However, it didn’t take away from the overall experience. We really enjoyed the city view as a change of scenery since we usually look at the ocean.A fun surprise was the fireworks display every Friday from the Hilton next door. It was a great way to end the week! Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a convenient and enjoyable stay!

Property was clean and was a great location- we could see beach and marina from our balcony. Easy walk to beach and the on site market, bar/grill were a great bonus. Dave’s ice cream and the coffee shop were visited daily. Staff was kind and friendly the valet parking was convenient. Would definitely stay again.

The place needs some up dating and paint touch up. It needs a good deep cleaning. Cabinets in kitchen you could see stuff on it. The view out weighed it though.
