The condo looks better than the photos on VRBO there have been a few updates since the pics on the site including a newer TV, carpet and a few pieces of furniture.
The location is perfect right on the edge of the marina so you dont get the craziness of Waikiki but its a short walk to the Hilton Waikiki Village if you want to get a bite to eat. Proximity to many boat excursions is very close and you can even snorkel and see turtles right in front of the lagoon. One of the best places we ate was in the marina called Pau Hana. I would book again.

This condo has seen better days! We’ve been renting condos at Ilikai for 10 years and this was by far the worst we’ve ever stayed in. Walked in the door to find food crumbs around bed. The walls are in a dire need of repairing. There was obvious water damage from A/C unit. The kitchen cabinets had a musty smell. We also had to breathe a musky/moldy smell from the A/C. Wondering if they change filter ever? The furnishings were extremely worn. Dresser drawers kept coming off track. The slider had the right side which you could barely push open. The drapes were stained with holes. There was no cutting board and items provided in kitchen were a mix of Goodwill items. We won’t be staying in this unit again…. It’s a gut job….

Location, view, price, accommodation are all you need for a simple weekend getaway. After a real quick call back from the property manager guided how to turn on the cable tv, it’s all perfect!

Property was as represented in pictures. Amazing view of the Hilton lagoon & ocean. Perfect place to watch Friday night fireworks from the lanai. Bed was clean & comfortable. Kitchen was equipped adequately for the two of us although dishwasher would have been really nice. Dish drainer was too dirty to use so we used a towel to lay our clean dishes on. Drapes & carpet were tired as were the beach chairs, but sufficed. Wi-Fi went out on last day, host was unable to take our call but did text advising we try restarting the modem which worked. AC worked well! All in all, we had a wonderful two weeks there & would happily stay here again! Mahalo for a great trip!

If you want a hotel with bells and whistles and Waikiki craziness this isnt the place. Very relaxed atmosphere, elevators never crowded and small wait if any. Laundry easy to use, hilton village right next door for all the hustle and bustle (and stressful energy) room was slightly dated but comfortable we were able to prepare food and had plenty of towels. View was amazing and perfect to see friday fireworks. Beach chairs were great for iur daily excusions to coastlines. We rented a car and oarking was easy and cheap. Much quieter than fancy hotels on the strip where the pools were always crowded and swarms of people. If you value privacy and calmness this is your place. Cinnamons is closed but looking forward to a food place to replace it. There is a coffee shop and icecream shop on site. Plenty of seating and pool is warm with showers to wash sand off. Easy walk to everything, and easy in and out with a car. Was not stressful at all. We are very pleased with our stay and will return to ilikai when we return to waikiki. (Still no cutting board ;) We used the pyrex baking dish) slight downside is all cooking utensils are plastic and flimsy but thats really insignificant.

The room could use some improvements and general maintenance. But at this time (2/2024) I CANNOT recommend The Ilikai at all. They are having elevator issues and 1 day without elevators at all. This is due to the hotel not properly fixing an issue from the middle of January. So check before you book. Our room was without ac for most of our stay. Chris with Hawaiian Properties did his best to make it right but on short notice it's hard to find a fix I was happy with. We choose to stay in the condo and open the balcony doors with fans at night. It worked fine for us as we were out during the day when it might have been too warm.
Overall, I would use Hawaiian Properties again but probably not for The Ilikai unless they have completely resolved their issues. Stairs are not fun and many with mobility issues couldn't leave or get to their rooms.

The Ilikai looks outdated on the outside, but the lobby, market, restaurants, and ice cream shop are nice. The unit itself needs a deep clean and updating. There are more updated units in the same building. The variety of kitchen appliances was good. Not planning on returning to Waikiki.

Our room had plenty of space and a great view! The bed and couch were both comfortable, which was super important for us. No issues at all and we loved that they supplied bech chairs, a cooler bag, and beach towels. Definitely recommend this room to anyone looking. Thanks!

We really enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend the facility. As for the unit itself I would suggest new Dressers as the drawers consistently fall off of the tracks. Also, the fan in the Bathroom could be cleaned so it works more efficiently. All in all the Room has everything you would need. The stocked Kitchen with essentials was a great add on for us. We will try to book again someday.

This condo was enough for two of us for 7 days in Waikiki. Place is due for some upkeep though. Chipped walls carpeting all a little rough. Kitchen was usable but could have some updated amenities(cutting board?) we were comfortable though and the Illikai is in a great location close to beach and shopping. Decent place that could use some love

Nice except for the lack of cupboard space. Very inconvenient.
Would NOT stay in this property again.

We booked this based on the pictures and were not disappointed.. only challenge was it was really busy and elevators were packed at peak times.. store on-site was great and there was easy access to beach and mall as pretty close. Lots of restaurants in the area

Everything you could want all in one place.. The lanai with its ocean and lagoon views are stunning. If you enjoy the sunrise you can start your day with one that took our breath away.
This gorgeous property is combiner for entertainment, exploring and just sitting by the beach. Would recommend highly as we are considering a return next year.

The check in process and the property was great. This particular unit was very dated. It smelled musty, the sheets had yellow stains, and the walls were in need of a paint job. The AC could not be lowered below 72 degrees or the unit would stop working. Loved the area, just disappointed in the upkeep of this unit.

We had a very nice stay and look forward to returning soon to Oahu for another vacation. The only thing I would stay is it could use a deep clean. Other than that, it was perfect for the two of us! Mahalo!

Ilikai is a great spot and the views are amazing. I’d recommend to find a different unit than this one however . Kitchen not well equipped ( no cutting board, very small and old pans), no dishwasher, small garbage can requiring frequent trips to trash room. The general look and feel is outdated and dark. A bit depressing.

Our room was nice and tidy. It offered everything we needed. I can't wait to come back!

Overall had a great stay at this Condo. Location and view were fantastic. The only negative is that the mattress on the platform bed is smaller than the dark coloured bedframe, causing the frame to stick out. At night when it is dark in the room we kept walking into the corner of the bed frame. Both my husband and I have cuts on our chins as a result. We ended up putting the couch cushions at the corners to avoid them. Suggestion would be to put in a new mattress that fits the bed frame or put bright yellow tape on the corners of the bed frame to make it more noticeable. We would still recommend the place.

My stay was for 4 weeks. My daughter was there the 1st week. The unit has a fantastic view and was equipped nicely. The extra garbage bags and coffee filters for the 4 weeks was a nice surprise. Plenty of towels and linens were supplied. I didn't do any cooking but everything you would need was supplied. The beach chairs need to be replaced. One was ripped and both were a bit rusty and it rubbed off on your clothes. Having a smart TV there was great for streaming. The password given for internet was incorrect but luckily my daughter figured it out and we didn't need to call anyone. The unit could use a more through cleaning. There were 2 empty individual jelly packets one in each corner of the room. You could see quite a bit of dust under the furniture, in their defense it must be hard to get to with the vacuum but still it was obvious. Ceramic tile floors were clean but you can see where the mop stopped 4 inches out from baseboard. These things are not deal breakers but should be addressed. The Ilikai is in a great location and the wading pool is a great well kept secret. I would certainly consider the unit again . These issues can easily be fixed.

I understand that the condo complex is old, however I would think at the price of the rental you might think about replacing the carpeta as some spots were frayed. You might also think about cleaning the ac exhaust vent in the showere as it was very, very dirty. Other than that is was a great place to stay. Mahalo!

This property was nothing short of amazing. We stayed for 5 nights. It’s a close 15 minute walk to downtown, the valet parking is so convenient, short 3-4 minute walk to the beach, and a view that you can’t beat!

The studio unit is quite spacious with a large balcony (ocean view). This unit is in a hotel/condo building. There is a restaurant (Cinnamons) on site, as well as, an ice cream store, a market, clothing store. There is a nice pool (crowded) or you can walk to the beach and lagoon. The hub of Waikiki is about a 20 minute walk past lush tropical plants and the ocean front Hilton Hawaiian Village (which has tons of shops). So, for us, this was a great location. Just far enough away from the Waikiki hustle and bustle, but close enough to come and go with ease.

Amazing view of the marina! Kat was amazing as a owner. Before we arrived, the A/C went in unit1636. I had numerous messages as she tried contacting us while were flying here. Our room was switched from 1636 to 1102. We did miss having the lagoon view, but having the A/C was a must for night sleeping. Spacious room and great to have a full kitchen. Great pool, beautiful lagoon, walking distance for a lot of places. This was our first time to HI and we will be back!! Thank you!!

We loved our stay. The suite is spacious and updated; and the view is beautiful. The location is great. It had everything we needed.

Location is great and so is the balcony. The kitchen however is small and not very functional in terms of counter space. We didn’t use the sofa bed as a bed but it make for a very lumpy couch to watch television.
Biggest issue is cleanliness. Carpet is stained, kitchen cupboards were streaked with residue and several other things. My sister in law had a unit in the same building with a much more updated look, cleaner and more functional layout. I would rent in that complex again but likely not that unit
