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.

The location was just on the edge of the beach, not a far walk. Hotel definitely needs updating. While the condo overall was clean the condition of the carpets was deplorable. Heavily stained and felt dirty. Walls are marked and need paint. This could be an amazing place butit needs work..it did fit all 8 of us and the lanai was anice bonus

We read the previous reviews. We know what to expect. On the TV issue, on our iphones, we can watch TV. We brought our Lighting device and plugged into the HGMI port. We had no TV issues. Location was great, close to the Mall and other locations. The pools was great. The price was nice for the location, it is better tan paying 300 to 400 a night. Yes, there was some TLC issues in the unit, but it would not stop us from going back.

Photos don't do thw view justice. I will recommend this unit. You can't get a better view. The manager was prompt with any communications. The unit had everything but left for the next occupants. The laundry didn't meet the needs of the building.

Great views of city and Ocean from 23rd floor. Private 2 bedroom with rare two King suites. Perfect for couples

The view was superb and we loved being close to the beach so we could just walk down on Friday night and watch the fireworks from the Hilton next door! Everything worked great and the view was the best.

This property was just okay. While it photographs well, the reality is somewhat underwhelming. The condo appeared clean at first glance, but closer inspection revealed multiple stains in the showers. Many of the coffee and dining tables were warped and covered in water stains. The balconies were a nice feature, but some of the sliding doors didn’t lock, which was a safety concern with my 2- and 3-year-old. The building itself was in need of repairs—though it seemed some were underway, as the sound of hammering and construction filled the room throughout the day. Additionally, the laundry rooms were out of service for part of our stay. Overall, it was an adequate place to sleep, but nothing more.

Location was great. The unit and building were tired. The pool was OK, sometimes towels weren't available. The vents in the bathroom were full of dust and debris. The kitchen was fine, and my husband and I cooked a lot, especially on this vacation, when eating out and food was very expensive. The oven itself was awful and runs VERY hot. The stove top was fine, takes a bit to get used to with push buttons rather than a more modern approach. Everything was just a little bit dirty. I was afraid the closet doors were going to fall off each time I opened them. The "futon" bed was definitely not a queen (my husband and I sleep on a queen bed every night at home. I'm guessing it was a full. It was sufficient for a 12 year old, but would not recommend for anyone older. And more storage would have been appreciated. The saving grace was the location. However, the hosts were accommodating and got us extra supplies, as what was provided was insufficient for our stay. ie: There are no dispensers for bathroom products as I have found in other rentals, and the dish soap would have been just enough for your coffee mugs and not much more. This is an instance of photos somewhat representing what the actuality is.

This rental was top notch! Of all the rental experiences I’ve had in my 46 years, whether it be a single family home, condo, or hotel room, this host and unit take the top prize. It was clean, comfortable, and fully stocked with everything we could have possibly needed. We appreciated that the unit had A/C, a lovely view from the balcony, two incredibly comfortable beds (one on the softer side while the other offered a firmer option), and well-stocked necessities like towels, linens, personal products, and a fully stocked kitchen. If you are debating between available units at the Ilikai or any other place nearby, stop right now and book this one!

I would recommend this unit at the Ilikai (1129). The unit was very clean, having a full kitchen was useful and what a great view. You can see the surf from the balcony and the sunsets were spectacular. The staff was very helpful, especially Chris at Dukes Lagoon. They rent everything and Chris gave me some great advice for food and excursions.

The sunshine and warmth here is an amazing experience! This property was a great place to come “home” to after a day exploring the island! Tour drivers were all familiar with the property and picked us up each time at the doorstep. The view each morning and evening from the lanai was also amazing. The condo is well-equipped and comfortable. Communication was prompt when needed. Parking included is also a bonus! Would certainly recommend this property!

The rental was very clean and the location is excellent. I have two suggestions: install a safety bar in the shower and also have a non-skid bathmat for the floor. I am a senior who rented this apartment and would have liked to have had these two items.

Pros: Check in was perfect! Vallet parking great, a bit pricey. Accommodations for my family of six worked out great. We didn’t do any cooking but there were plenty of kitchen utensils and pots/pans that I saw. Property was very nice, plenty of shops. The middle common area was perfect for our large family of 30 to hang out in the evening. Customer service all over the property was more than great. Cons: TVs in the master and living room did not work day of arrival but were both fixed the next day. The blinds should be upgraded. The sliding doors in the master bedroom need to be replaced or fixed, they were very stiff and hard to move. Same with the master closet doors. Bathroom could be upgraded as well but served its purpose. All in all, I’d stay at the Ilikai again.

Was not 2 sofa beds as listed. Was an air mattress and a futon. Sheets were dirty. Front doors locks didn't all work. Door looks like it's falling apart. Walls were dirty. Shower leaked the entire stay. Bathroom smelled like sewage. Host was rude did not acknowledge the fact that she messed up on her listed an stated beds that were non existent.

![Ilikai Hotel 709]()
Our family of 5 enjoyed a comfortable stay in this Ilikai unit. This iconic building is in a great location. We could easily walk to the beaches, shops, restaurants etc. The unit was nicely decorated and has a functional floor plan with plenty of space for all of us. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes/glassware/pots and pans. The two balconies are nice, but there is a lot of road noise if planning to sit out. The two pools were very nice. However, because it is such a large building, they get quite crowded. It is better to be at the beach. My only complaint was the towel/laundry situation. We have stayed in a lot of different condos in Hawaii over many years (all the islands). This is the first time that we did not have in-suite washer and dryer. I don't know if it is an owner or rental agency decision, but we were supplied with a very small number of towels - only one each. Every floor of the Ilikai has a laundry room. I could have washed towels. But who wants to spend several hours in a Laundromat during a one week vacation? If the owner or rental agency did not want leave us more towels, it would have been nice for them to bring us a new set part way through the week. It was kind of ick for us to use the same towel for the entire week. Otherwise great stay in a nice unit.

Nice condo in an incredible location, with ocean views from every window and across the street from the beach, with ample parking right behind the building. Clear and easy checkin and out instructions and no hassle. Cafe for easy breakfasts on site, as well as a restaurant. Only reason I give 4 stars instead of 5 is Waikīkī seems to have a lot of roosters that woke us up quite early - but I think this would apply to any property in Waikiki. Very nice home base for a few days on Oahu!

The property was a little dated and we weren't able to stream to the TV because we didn't have android devices. It didn't have the personal touch that the last place I stayed at in the same building did.But the location was amazing and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

The hotel is centrally located and just a short walk from the heart of Waikiki. Easy to get around and walkable. The building itself is a hair dated, but the unit is remodeled, clean and comfortable. The owner was helpful and proactive, and getting in was easy as can be. The king is wonderful. The pull out sofa is handy but better suited for kids than full grown adults given the size. There was only one small bar of soap and ounce bottle of shampoo that were exhausted in 2 days. We had to buy soap and shampoo. Liked the place and would stay again. Know that parking in Waikiki is very expensive. We had to valet at the hotel for 50 tip each day. You can park in neighborhood garages for a little less if you're willing to walk. For us the price difference was not enough to bother. Very good spot in Waikiki!

This location is great and the views spectacular . Large dust bunnies came out of the A/C units when they were first turned on and the ceiling in the kitchen was dusty. The rooms are rather small ,beds not very comfortable or sturdy my husband is 6’1 190 I thought the bed was going to break just when he was turning over in it. Kitchen only has a small bar sink which made it a little difficult to prepare meals and clean dishes. Also the tools in the kitchen were not very sufficient. This also made it difficult to prepare meals for 6 adults. If you’re not going to spend much time in the kitchen and don’t care about room space this place is for you.

The view made up for everything that was wrong. Both the living room and bedroom TV’s did not work. The only one that worked was in the master bedroom. Thankfully we had plans to watch the Super Bowl elsewhere! The sofa was stained I was scared to sit on it. The tea pot was rusted inside. The patio furniture needs to be replaced. I got a splinter on my butt from the wooden patio chair. Other than those minor things which could be fixed easily I had a great time.

We had a wonderful stay for our first trip to Hawaii. Property was located within walking distance to the beach, with great views. Upon checkin there was a little issue but Rosalina more than accommodated in making it right. Bed and pillows were great! Loved our stay. The door did have some issues with trying to lock with the key pad otherwise property was great!
