Loved the ocean view and watching the sunset each night from the balcony. Location was good- within walking distance of beach, restaurants and shops. We enjoyed the pool and the restaurant downstairs had live music each night. Jean gave us all the info we needed to make check in easy and responded immediately to our texts.

We were quite impressed that our stay here did not disappoint. The unit was just as described in the listing and had plenty of amenities. The rental management communicated well before our arrival and responded very quickly when needed. We look forward to returning here on a future trip to Waikiki.

Condo was not fully furnished with basic dressers. One room at nothing but 2 beds, had to use suitcase as a dresser. Small place, luggage stored in closet while clothes hung on bent wire hangers. Hospital linens on beds, old pillows with covers over foam. Covers had brown silva on them and stored extra blankets smelled very bad. Hot water, turned all the up at line, could have been hotter in showers. Nice view, but very noisy area.

The Ilikai is a stunning building with fantastic pools that we thoroughly enjoyed during our stay. The overall experience at the suite was just average. Unfortunately, this suite was in need of some repairs, which were not mentioned in the listing.One of the main issues we encountered was with the shower. It was not functioning properly, and the handle kept falling off, making it inconvenient to use. Additionally, the shower doors were not as clean as we would have expected, which was disappointing. Another frustrating issue was with the toilet. The remote-controlled flush system was not working, which meant that the toilet would only flush when an adult was sitting on it. This became especially problematic since we had our daughter with us, and the toilet wouldn’t flush after she used it. The suite also had some maintenance issues beyond the bathroom. The lock on the patio door was loose and needed repair, which made it feel somewhat insecure. Additionally, the dishwasher appeared it hadn’t been deep-cleaned in quite some time, so we handwashed most of our dishes instead.Despite these drawbacks, there were some positives about the suite. The bed was incredibly comfortable, which made for a restful sleep. We also loved the location. Overall this particular suite fell short of expectations due to the need for repairs and maintenance. With some repairs it could be a much more enjoyable stay.

This was a wonderful place, with great unobstructed views of the lagoon, fireworks and pool area. We were without three month old so it was n ie to peer down and see which pool had shade before making our way down 11 levels. The kitchen was well stocked. I really loved how Christy had plenty of coffee and cleaning supplies so we did t have to go buy things for the week we were there. I was thankful for the rolling wall that partitioned off the bed from the rest of the place so I could put the baby down and still hang out in the evening.

We enjoyed our time together where we had easy access to the beach and bus route.If I had a negative comment, it would be that the previous people did not clean the dish ware or silverware very thoroughly. The kitchen was well equipped so that was a big bonus.

Where to start…. Upon check in our code to get into the condo didn’t work. I was able to reach out to someone (the hosts book keeper per what she told me) and a new code was given to me after a call back and we were eventually able to get it. Apparently it was an error by the cleaning lady.The unit itself is incredibly outdated, which we could tell from the images, but they didn’t do it justice. The carpets were disgusting and stained all over. While the unit was “clean” it felt dirty and smelled very very heavily of mildew, so much so we had to immediately open all doors and windows. It was hard to breathe. We reached out to the host about this as I was (and still am) concerned they may have a mold issue, but we never heard anything from them. I emailed them again about a few other issues (button in the toilet was pushed down but still worked and the exterior doors to the deck didn’t seem to close fully and left a gap at the base) but didn’t hear anything from them again. And still haven't. They were mute and unresponsive.The building amenities were ok at best, but the building was built in the early 1960’s and felt that it was still in that era. If you are looking for a great pool, this is not your place. On the positive the units views were as shown and you are a close walk to the beach and main shopping areas. We would never stay here again (and almost left mid stay due to smell), and it was way too much money for what you got.

Very misleading and extremely expensive. The whole apartment smelt like mold. The beds are disgusting. Please put a mattress cover on the mattresses. The beds are hard and the pillows are gross. A mattress topper would go along way and changing out the pillows every few months does not cost a lot of money, especially with what we were charged. The windows need to be changed and the TV was so hard to use. Overall, bad stay.

This is the second time my family and I have stayed here. It's not big, it's not fancy but it is clean and quiet. It's a great place to wind up the day in Waikiki and get some good sleep. The pull out bed is surprisingly comfortable.

We really enjoyed our stay! It was clean, convenient, and in a safe location. The only downside was that they only provided one roll of toilet paper, and I wish I had known there were no seasonings. But overall, it was a good experience. 4 stars!" Would definitely stay again! How does that sound?

We rented this unit for two weeks over the Christmas/New Year period, and unfortunately, we felt it was not worth the price. The place hasn’t been updated in decades and is in need of some serious attention. The front door lock was unreliable, the cabinetry was loose, and the under-cabinet lights didn’t work. All the towels had a strong mildew smell, the main window was cloudy and impossible to see through clearly, and the fold-out couch had noticeable wear with loose arms.To make matters worse, during peak season, 5 out of the 6 elevators were out of service, leading to long waits. As another reviewer mentioned, the clear coffee table in the living room is a tripping hazard, especially if you have mobility issues – it’s dangerous for older guests. Additionally, the deck railings had concerning gaps between the cement and the railing, which didn’t seem safe. Overall, this unit needs significant improvements, especially for the price.

I would strongly advise against staying here. Check-in was at 4 PM, but the unit was filthy. The bed wasn’t made, and trash was everywhere. Bryan, the manager, contacted cleaners who hadn’t been notified. They arrived at 5:50 PM, and I didn’t get access to a cleaned unit until 6:50 PM. The manager admitted the owners’ family stayed before me and failed to notify anyone when they checked out, so cleaning wasn’t scheduled. Even after cleaning, the air was toxic with ammonia and Pine-Sol odors that lingered throughout my stay. The mattress was decades old, cheap, and unbearable. I’ve slept in terrible places in my youth, like a children’s home and juvenile hall, but this was worse. The springs were creaky, and by the end of my stay, I was in excruciating pain. When I stripped the bed, I found yellow stains on the mattress pad and pillows from body fluids. The noise was relentless, with motorcycles, sirens, and loud water sounds from the bedroom wall whenever neighbors used it. I had to connect the TVs to WiFi myself, and the bedroom TV’s speakers were blown out. The front door wouldn’t close unless slammed, and security knocked in the middle of the night because it wasn’t shut. On my last day, Bryan called asking why I hadn’t checked out by 11 AM, even though I paid for late check-out. Poor communication and mismanagement made this a nightmare stay. Avoid this property.

This accomodation is splendid when we arrived at it the attendant allowed us to enter the room 90 minutes ahead of schedule. The room was clean the bed was comfy, the bathroom looked and felt great, the kitchenette features were handy but the sofa was a little tiny. The lobby is small but it has everything including a coffee machine and purified water station. It's location is perfect near the Hilton and downtown Waikiki. I would recommend this someone if they want a place near the beach side or downtown without paying as much for something like Sheraton or outrigger e.g.

Reviewer Comments:
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.

This place is beautifully styled with all of the amenities you’d want from home. Hand soap in each bathroom and kitchen sink, shampoo and conditioner in each bathroom, laundry down the hall, dishwasher, a/c in each bedroom and living room, an extra box fan to help move the air, plenty of bowls/plates/coffee cups/water glasses/wine glasses, cookware, coffee pot for multiple servings, keurig for pods….really, not anything was lacking.While it is likely some treasures were left behind by other guests rather than provided by the host, it was nice to have them. There were sand chairs, water floaties, small, insulted lunch cooler, and possibly flippers. The spice cabinet had many items one would hope for, also likely left behind by previous guests.This was really an excellent find! Friends who traveled with us didn't have places as newly renovated, nor did theirs come with a parking pass. Parking is a big deal in the area as space is limited. Having a dedicated spot underground the building was so convenient and appreciated!Rosina is quick to reply with questions so please feel free to reach out. We will keep this location in mind if we find ourselves in Honolulu again!

The condo was lovely, but my only complaint is that there weren't enough outlets, especially near the bedside table. The view of the Friday night fireworks and the hula show, which takes place three days a week on the rooftop of the Hilton car park, was excellent.

We loved the views! Every morning, we'd sit on the patio and watch the sun rise, listening to the waves and the chiming of the ropes on the boats down in the marina. The hotel is located in a busy area -- lots of options for affordable food and shopping, easy walking distance all the way down Waikiki, and easy access to one of the prettiest part of the beach. Staff was excellent. Services were excellent. Easy to recommend and we'd be happy to stay here again!

Our week long stay was excellent; the condo was as advertised, the location was super and the marina/ocean view was great. The two large comfortable beds is rare and appreciated. The high step into the bath/shower was daunting but we managed as seniors. The TV screen was large and easy to navigate. The owner was professional and a good communicator resulting in a seamless arrival/check-in.

The place was very clean and well kept. Some of the furniture was eve quite new. Only a couple of small complaints, but nothing that kept it from being 5 star. The kitchen was a bit light on utensils, storage, and cookware. Generally it was light on toilet paper and paper towels , and it was light on towels/washcloths. Those are fairly small things to deal with, but overall 5-star.
