Overall we are very satisfied with this rental.3 night stay for a family memorial service. Convenient location, especially having the mall next door. The 33rd floor room is very spacious, has everything needed for comfort. Very clean, strong water pressure in showers, but the bath sink slow drain. Thanks for being a great Host!

We stayed in the apartment with our son and daughter-in law. The apartment was excellent in every respect, the Ilikai was a very good venue, and we greatly enjoyed our stay.Our only issue was the mishandling of a false fire alarm at 4am. Falso alarms happen. We have experienced them in hotels before. But this event was completely mismanaged by the Ilikai. Firstly, the announcement message was garbled and incomplete. Instead of saying "Don't take the elevators, it came out as "take the elevators". Then at the bottom of the stairs, there were no Ilikai staff to provide information or direction. Nor were their any other Ilikai staff engaged in managing the false alarm outcome. Then there was a 2nd announcement of a fire alarm after we got back to bed. And finally, there was no acknowledgement or information provided on the event. A simple note to guests the next day explaining the event would have helped. We suggest that VRBO take up with the Ilikai the need for improved management, training and communication relating to fire alarms.

We celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary with our children and grandchildren (11 of us). The Presidential Suite at the Ala Moana Hotel was the perfect fit for the week. It gave both gathering time and occasional space. It also gave memories that will never be forgotten. We are exceptionally grateful.

The view, the location and roominess is the best. We don't like, AC so didn't use it. The unit breathes. A kitchen light was replaced immediately. We were pre notified the dishwasher was not working and waiting for parts. Very enjoyable place.

The condo is really cozy. Little but has everything that you need. We had some great nights. The bed was comfortable (I read that it was noisy but it itsn't!) and it is true that you can hear the outside but our neighbours were so respectful and we had a good nights there. We recommend.

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was somewhat unhappy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Hello, I sent a longer message last night on my experience with the room. I am honestly not happy about the turnout with not having the keys. Also other maintenance issues while staying. I'd like a full refund or a partial on top of a 2 night free stay next time for the inconveniences I had to face.

This review would’ve been mostly positive. We were willing to overlook the problems we encountered since the location was nice and we had a beautiful view. We came into the property with dirty floors, a broken dishwasher, a frozen over fridge, and stains on a few couches. After we got home, I got an email that they charged us $178 to clean stains on the furniture that were obviously hidden by the past guests. We used the pull out couch for a bed and the bottom of the cushions had stains, which had obviously been flipped over by whoever stained them. We didn’t realize we had to log every imperfection in this giant presidential suite before we settled in. That was the last thing on our minds after a long travel day. So being the optimist I am, I thought—no big deal—I’ll contact the management company/owner and let them know of the misunderstanding. I confirmed with my party that the stains were there before us, and I emailed and called and logged my complaint. My communication was met with silence. No resolution, not even an acknowledgment or apology. I will update this review if they resolve the issue, but currently I would advise you to stay away from this place. There are plenty of other options on this beautiful island. Don’t settle.

We had a family of 5 and a toddler. There were enough comfortable beds for all of us and the convenience of having 2 1/1 bathrooms! Always enjoy staying here due to the walking distance ro ala moana center.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Location is so convenient you can step right outside and go to the mall right across the street into the beachBut I wish the room was cleaner. They need to take care of the mildew on the shower curtain and around the corners of the bathtub when you adjust the water such a pain in the butt there's only one handle and you turn it to adjust hot and cold so it's not too separate vowels, which is such a pain in the butt.

This unit is a VRBO unit that I booked via Expedia. Unit was fine. I liked the location. The view was ok. There were problems with the unit, primarily the toilet. I am a hotelier. This happens. What is important is how the management company responds. The management company, Lei Hawaii Realty, was very responsive, professional and kind. The location, at the Ala Moana Hotel, was fantastic. The unit met all my needs. Mahalo.

Great location! Staff was very nice and friendly. Plenty of open space, both rooms have full bathrooms, A/C worked great in bedrooms and living room, 3 lanais and kitchen window offer great cross air ventilation. Would love to stay here again.

The views are beautiful from all the rooms. The suite is spacious. It was nice to have three full bathrooms. The beach chairs helped us out. The location is great. The downside was that the suite was not clean. All the corners around the floors and the baseboards had accumulated dirt and dust. The same was seen behind the doors and appliances as well as under the beds. We wanted to get a cleaning of the unit but were told it will cost almost $400.

Pros: The views from the various balconies were exceptional- we saw the ocean waves during the day and the sunset at night. The suite was spacious with the stated number of bedrooms and bathrooms. The proximity to the Ala Moana shopping center was excellent - able to grocery shop as well as shop for any other items one might need. Cons: The 2 living rooms and master bedroom were fine, but the kitchen and bathrooms appeared old and in need of a complete refurbishment. While the master bedroom was updated, the AC did not work for the entire stay. They brought in a small fan for the room and refunded a very small part of our total bill. The kitchen sink had mold around its rim and the floor was so dirty that the bottom of my white socks was completely black. The amount they charged for the “Presidential Suite” is excessive given the present condition described above. The upkeep appears to be neglected. If they could fix these deficiencies I might stay here again. However, its current condition does not warrant the stated rate for the suite.

Reviewer Comments: We had a good time in this suite with huge space and nice view.The only problem we met is the glass door in master room, which is not sound proofing. The noise from the street is very clear at night, and it brought me big trouble falling asleep. The location of the hotel is super good and we love the ocean view from room balcony!

This property was exactly how it's advertised and pictured. We are a family of 5 and one baby and throughly enjoy the property, location and access to the amenities from the hotel. All the balconies are a plus not just for views but fresh air throughout the property. The only minor inconvenience was in the main bedroom when the balcony door is open it pushes the main door open even in the locked position. Other than that it is an excellent property well furnished and equipped. majo

Beautiful place with everything you need for a stay. We stayed for a week and had no issues. It's a bit of a walk to get to Waikiki, but that worked well for us since we were looking for a quieter location. We would recommend this to any group looking for a great place with a great view!

Location was great, nice views, great common space for family. Great to be next to the Ala Moana mall for ease of simple meals. There were a few things that were breaking (toilet paper holder, batteries in remote, lamp shade, dryer lint cleaner, but they tried to address what they could quickly. I only wish it was easier to communicate with host- such as a quick text rather than messaging through VRBO - the response time was pretty good, but was more of a hassle than other places I’ve stayed at. There really is nothing provided besides plates and appliance so you do need to buy quite a lot if you plan on cooking any meals. Luckily, the food court at the mall is terrific. Overall, a beautiful place to stay!
