The stay was great at the Ilikai, the only bad thing was the elevators. To many people to move with elevators not operating & needing repair. The escalators weren't working as well.

Great location with plenty of restaurants and shopping within walking distance. The beach and lagoon are a short five to ten minute walk away. Beautiful beach and marina view from the lanai. The lanai is great for having your morning coffee and watching the evening sunset. Nice fireworks at the lagoon on Friday nights. Chris and Kiersten were great to work with and went the extra mile with our late checkout.

Everythibg was begind our satisfaction with one very minor drawback based on our personal tastes. All yThe pillows were exceptionaly firm, we woupd recommend adding a few more thar are somewhere in the middle so that each tennant has a little more variety in choice. Even then, 5 stars well deserved!

The property was wonderful! Only thing I wish they had is a separate comfortable chair to read in at night. The couch was not comfortable to spend a long period of time

We had an amazing stay in Honolulu again. I was a little worried when I realized the suite was right by the elevator, but you really could not hear it. The condo was just as advertised and we were very happy with our stay. We had one issue with the bathroom door not closing but it was fixed for us very quickly. The view from our balcony was beautiful one direction, but the other direction did not provide a lot of privacy as the neighbors balcony was looking right at ours. Some people may not mind but we love the outdoor spaces and this one just lacked a little privacy.The condo comes quite well equipped and the bed is super comfortable. A couple things that would be nice to add would be a small Keireg Machine as well as a few more teaspoons. We had a wonderful time and would recommend this condo for the beautiful location as well as the comfort and conveniences the suite offered.

Views are amazing, However Cant see the sunset or sunrise. Bed not the best, no so comfortable and pillows extremely flat. However rooms size great, location a 10 for proximity to park and ala moana, 8 a little far to walk . No complaints.

Our stay was great. Walking distance to just about everything. The hotel itself was nice. It is an older place that could use new carpet, but it appeared to be vacuumed. Check-in was very easy, great communication and instructions. Would stay there again

Communication, location, and unit amenities just what we needed. Only recommendation would be new bedding as sheets and blankets not in great shape. Everything was clean, beds were comfortable just not great bedding. I'd stay here again though. Late checkout option was awesome and affordable too.

The unit is a perfect size for my family of 3. We all love the location, it's close to the stores and the beach. The view from our unit is awesome. Only downside is, I think the carpet needs some thorough cleaning. The closet is almost non- functional for guests. It's stuffed with cleaning stuffs, there's also cans of paints inside. The lady, that checked the unit upon checking in also made us aware that 1 of the closet door panel is broken it's loose and comes off the door guide when sliding it open and not to use that door. The lady offered, if we'd like to, she'll send someone to repair it that same day but we declined as we just wanted to relax already after a long flight. We ended up not using the space as we're scared the door panel would totally fall off. Otherwise, everything was good. Kitchen is fully equipped.

We had a lovely stay at the Ilikai room 739. The suite was well updated with the perfect decorating touches. We enjoyed the sunsets and eating on the patio each day. We also appreciated having beach chairs. I would suggest that the kitchen knives get sharpened as it was challenging to prepare food. Lastly, the door is very heavy and slams when being closed, which is quite noisy for fellow neighbours. We would stay here again. Thank you for a beautiful rental space.

Place was clean and comfortable. We enjoyed the beach chairs. Beautiful sunsets from the balcony. If you rent a car I highly recommend using the valet parking. It’s expensive but worth the convenience. Dave’s Ice Cream is located nearby and has great ice cream.

The place was as advertised in the photos. The beds were comfortable and there was plenty of space for all. We really enjoyed having sliding doors on two sides which allowed for a great breeze all day. There is some traffic noise (mainly ambulances) so be prepared for that. Parking is a bit expensive as well. Overall would stay here again without a doubt.

Had a wonderful stay. Being on the 3rd floor was awesome. Had such a great vibe with the music down below. Awesome sunsets. Being close to Hilton village was great but being at the ilikia gave you a chance for a little quiet time. Would recommend for a couple. Thank you for a great stay.

We have stayed at the Ilikai many times, excellent location and the view from this room did not disappoint. Very clean and comfortable. We had a few mishaps with miscommunications on check in instructions and the WiFi issues but it was quickly resolved. I will say we did have issues with others smoking on both sides of our lanai and security caught one side red handed but can’t do much. So that was a bummer. The property was so clean and comfortable. Would highly recommend.

We stayed here for 9 nights and loved it. Great location, has several restaurants on site, including Empire which was delicious, and had great margaritas. There’s an ABC store right across the street, and a delicious sushi restaurant across the street and a little ways down to the right. Get the lobster roll, best sushi I’ve ever had. (Can’t remember the name) Apartment is Close to the beach and lagoon. Plenty of boat, snorkeling tours at the harbor.Pro tip, rent a car as uber and taxis are very expensive in Waikiki.

We stayed for 9 days and enjoyed the amenities at the Ilikai and the location. The king size bed was very comfortable and the a/c worked well. Our only negative comments are the suite could use a deep cleaning, more specifically the washroom door and the suite phone does not work.

The Hotel was in a great Location. Could walk to the beach easily. The Pools we small, but nice. The Market downstairs was very convenient. The room was clean and had enough amenities for a comfortable stay. The kitchen was stocked well enough. We made breakfast (bacon and eggs) and had a taco night. The view was great. We spent most of our time out and about, though when we were in the Condo, we loved sitting on the lanai taking in the view. Also, Jana was AMAZING! Great communication from start to finish.

Location was good. We were able to walk to a lot of places; if it was too far to walk, the bus was close and easy to use. Was as described with full kitchen and comfortable living space. Was clean. Bed was comfortable. About a week after we arrived management phoned us to check everything was OK and to see if we needed anything and to assure us they were available if we did. We were here for 2 months and enjoyed our stay. We would stay here again.

I’ve stayed in three other units at the Ilikai, and unfortunately, this one was by far the most disappointing. While I understand some units retain original furniture and design elements, this unit shows significant wear and neglect. The wallpaper throughout was peeling, and there appeared to be signs of mold in several areas. The bathroom and kitchen floors were sticky, and with dark carpeting elsewhere, it’s hard to gauge the cleanliness of the rest of the flooring.There were also concerning safety issues, such as tangled and outdated electrical cords near the bed, and the main table had a cracked marble top. I wasn’t entirely confident that the sheets were fresh, which added to the overall feeling of discomfort.It feels like the unit may be privately maintained without professional oversight, and that could be contributing to its poor condition. I strongly suggest the owner consider working with one of the many reputable property management companies that operate in the Ilikai. These professionals could help bring the unit up to standard—or alternatively, the owner may want to consider selling it to someone who’s willing to invest in the necessary upgrades.It’s unfortunate the system does not allow photographs of how this unit really looks like, as it was terrible. With proper care and attention, this unit has potential—but in its current state, I would not recommend it.

This condo is our favorite in the Ilikai. We can't always get it but are super happy when we can stay. Easily the cleanest condo we have stayed in at the Ilikai. It is also the best "stocked". Enough of everything from dishes, glasses, coffee cups, towels, storage space. Everything is well marked so you don't have to worry about how anything works. The view from the lanai is spectacular. We had nothing to complain about at all. And the price comapred to hotels rooms in the area is quite good.
