Big hotel and condo resort. Great waterfront location in Waikiki. View is great out balcony looking at marina and ocean. Nice kitchen. Hotel/condo development is a little older 50 years. Room shows a little age. Nice pools and bar / grill. Close to Ala Moana mall with restaurants and shopping. Only complaint they want you to take off shoes in room and floor needs a good wet mop. .

Lovely place. Basic kitchen staples (salt, pepper, oil, etc) would have been nice

This property has been beautifully updated & is well appointed! We loved having the washer & dryer! We also loved that beach towels were provided! The only negative would be that the bed mattresses are very cheap & not comfortable. Some type of memory foam mattress would be MUCH better-especially with jet lag, & long days hiking & exploring! But, ovetall it’s a great place!!

We visited Oahu to scatter my mom’s ashes. She loved the marina. The property was a perfect spot for the occasion. View of the marina, boats and an occasional rainbow was beyond perfect!

The location of this property is fantastic — it’s perfectly situated for exploring Honolulu, and the large balcony with ocean views was a real highlight of our stay. Unfortunately, the unit itself has several issues that impacted our comfort.The interior is dated, with curtains coming off the rails and a persistent leak from the balcony above that dripped onto parts of the outdoor seating area. The air conditioner above the queen-sized bed also dripped during the night, which was very disruptive. The mattresses were uncomfortable and likely need replacing, and the lamp shades frequently fell off. Some sliding door locks had loose screws, and not all power outlets worked.The bathrooms were clean and nicely presented but lacked external ventilation, as did the kitchen rangehood. The kitchen was also understocked with glassware and had mismatched pots, pans, and utensils, making cooking a bit of a challenge.The baby crib provided was very basic and didn’t offer good support, making it hard for our toddler to sleep well. There was no vacuum cleaner provided initially, but the property manager was very responsive and got one to us quickly when asked. We also had to purchase our own cleaning supplies as they were not provided.Despite these issues, we did enjoy our time here, mostly thanks to the amazing location and view. With better maintenance and a few upgrades, this property has the potential to offer a much more comfortable and high-quality stay.

The place was clean and had a beautiful view, which we really enjoyed. Unfortunately, the TV wasn’t working, and even though I reached out to the host, I didn’t receive any response or solution, which was disappointing. Also, the sleeping arrangement was a bit tight—there were only two beds for five people, which made it hard to get a good night’s sleep. It would be helpful if this was made clearer in the listing. That said, overall, we were fairly satisfied with our stay.

Ilikai Resort is one of the vintage properties in Honolulu and they're pretty proud of it. The room itself was good. The kitchen was great. The bathroom needs an update and as will happen in the tropics, there were some bugs but nothing that worried or bothered us. The door on the unit is a little finicky and it would appear that there are more renovations on the horizon for this unit. The balcony is a real treat - people watching over the bustling city was fun! Overall, the stay was good and the resort itself is ideal - the lobby/deck area is outstanding, it's close to everything without paying Waikiki prices. there is a small ABC style shop in the lobby, a poke shop and close to Ala Moana shopping center! We really enjoyed our time at this property and would stay here again. Heads up on the parking situation - if you choose to valet - it's quite chaotic. Give yourself time to park or to get your car.

Absolutely excellent location for everything! Beach view, portions of yacht harbor. Restaurant on top is perfect, both pools are great but close too early. Shops and restaurant on main floor downstairs are excellent. Walk to Waikīkī beach less than 3 min. Car parking is too expensive at 33 across the street ( cross through Hilton and across sky bridge, less than 500 yards away ). Apartment balcony needs vision blocker ( vinyl board or similar ) on left side of balcony due to angle of building structure- to block that side s occupants to look into the apt. Curtains are efficient heat blockers but also make apt completely dark when closed- missing normal curtains for daytime use. Interior is nice n comfy and AC unit perfect. Could use replacement of all table light shades. Could use ceiling fan. Will come back!

I had a fantastic stay at this hotel, perfectly situated between Ala Moana Beach and Waikiki Beach—just a 25-minute walk to either. The location is ideal, with easy access to nearby markets and plenty of fast food options.The hotel itself is impressive. My room was very spacious, and the balcony offered a stunning view—perfect for relaxing after a day out. One of the highlights is the rooftop restaurant, which provides not just great food but also beautiful panoramic views.Every Friday, the hotel hosts a luau and fireworks show, adding a special cultural touch and making the experience even more memorable. There's also a small beach on the property, which is perfect for families with young children—calm, safe, and scenic.Overall, I highly recommend this hotel for anyone visiting the area. It strikes a great balance between convenience, comfort, and local charm.

It caught our breath from the first moment we walked in! The view is absolutely spectacular. You could literally feel how clean it was. We were celebrating a big birthday, and the most fun was being able to watch fireworks literally so close and right from our balcony! Everything we needed was very close. Loved the fact that you would walk to a beautiful peaceful sandy lagoon of ocean water connected to the ocean where the waves were calmed down by a break water. Special note and very important when you're away from your own home... The beds were very very comfortable! We had a couple of requests for the management, and they responded immediately.If you can stay here, do it. You'll never regret this beautiful place.

Location great but unit is dated. The bed was uncomfortable, had trouble sleeping. The couch was even worse. The AC unit was pre programmed so it could not be adjusted up or down, on or off. I travel here yearly but will never book this unit again

The room and space is just as it is in the picture and for 3 women there was plenty of closet space and space in the bathroom for our stuff... and we had stuff! Balcony view was a great place for breakfast and it was a 5 min walk to the beach and boardwalk. Beach chairs, towels and wagon available. The kitchen had all the utensils and cookware needed to enjoy meals. The parking garage is a block away and easy to get to. There was a little market with necessities in the hotel and across the street. Great restaurants and shopping close by. You enjoy getting your steps in :) We had an issue with the lock on the door, I made a phone call and by the end of the day, they responded and it was fixed. We wanted to stay longer.... I would def stay at this place again. Thank you!

Loved the location (quiet), ease of check in, view, coffee shop, and Menehune Grill (didn't try the other on-property restaurant). Loved the large lanai but could use better curtains (don't close all the way/gaps). Biggest complaint is air conditioner is above the bed and it LEAKS. My husband got dripped on the first night and ended up sleeping on the sofa.Top corner of the bed got soaked. Instruction booklet in the room was our first warning about this. Instructions say to set to 74 degrees and to turn off the AC when you're not in the room. Really? Who wants to come back to a hot room?

Very nice hotel condo, but this unit needs a little love, very 1970s. Why no bedspread? Kitchen had bare essentials but we didn’t cook. Perhaps a newer mattress, better lighting, kinda dark. The view in this unit was the BEST part. I kept picturing what I would do to make it awesome. It could be a better money maker.

Honolulu was a beautiful destination with lovely people but condo was disappointing, did not look like the pictures, clean but rundown and could do with some updating. Rust and buildup of dirt around air vents and water sprinklers, chipped paintwork throughout.

I arrived at hnl after a nine and a half hour flight. Took a Lyft to Ilikai. Property owner had texted while in flight that I could check in early! Relieved! Got there and a box of chocolates was waiting for me. I walked to ABC store to grab groceries and forgot butter. No worries. It was in the fridge and there was coffee, salt, and pepper . Literally I felt very taken care of. me.

My husband and I enjoyed our stay on Oahu in this condo. I am not the type to book lodging in a high tourist area but it was exactly what I expected and the location at the end of Waikiki Beach was perfect. Although I tried to get away from the busy area it was still loud at night, thankfully closing the slider did the trick. We found a hidden gem of a restaurant next door near the marina and enjoyed a simpler meal. We stayed on Oahu to see Pearl Harbor before moving on to Maui. A must see.Everything was great.

The shower was dripping upon arrival. Chris supposedly fixed it. Dripping continued the whole 8 day stay. The picture seen online of the room was not what we got but paid for. Instead of a king bed we got 2 beds and a sofa bed. The unit was sold and we were never informed of changes. Other than that the place is ok. Hot hallways. Was somewhat disappointed. No compensation for change in room without our knowledge or have having to put up with the dripping all day everyday

Overall, the condo was beautiful. I did not receive the code to enter the condo 3 days in advance of arrival as indicated. However, the property manager was very responsive and we were able to get in with no problem. We did notice that the condo door did not lock on the way out. We discovered this a day into our stay but thankfully didn’t pose a problem, but was a bit concerning.

The area around the property was really nice and the ground were beautiful. Loved the beach access and the location is easily walkable to parks and shopping. Really liked how easy it was to access the room with the digital code entry and simple self-check-in; it was nice not having to drag a room key around. Employees were very nice and helpful when our door code didn't work. Also, liked that there were beach towels, chairs, umbrella, and a cooler available for our use. Overall, it was a good experience, I only gave 3 stars because of the room itself. The cons - the room we were in very much needs a remodel job. The kitchen was very old and musty smelling. The bathroom shower was not very clean, and the floor tile was loose. The description said there was a dvd player which there was not. The balcony and glass wall with double sliding doors was really nice for the view and evenings, but it was very bright at 6am, not conducive to sleeping; the vertical blinds were old and some of the slats kept falling off; some light blocker curtains would have been nice. Also, we had to throw a sheet over the couch that was quite dirty. Still have a wonderful time, just wish the room would have been nicer.

We came with our family of 5 for an event at the Hilton Hawaiian Village. Having the 2 bedroom suite gave us lots of room to spread out comfortably. Room was also well stocked with lots of towels and blankets so we didn’t need to worry about laundry. Had everything we needed. Worked out perfectly.

The location and property was great and it came with all the amenities required for a week stay for my family. It could use more cleaning. There were many rules that we had to comply with as far as using and leaving the property. Considering the cost of the rental, the ceiling fan had dust on all the blades, the washroom shower floor tiles could use more scrubbing. Same with the spaces for for two balconies. The views on these balconies were stunning but the outdoor floor mats could use some cleaning as well.
