My wife and I booked this place for our annual weekly getaway—The condo was extremely clean and situated in the perfect location of Waikiki. The host was extremely helpful and provided superb customer service. I’d give it 10 stars if I could! We most certainly will book again! Mahalo!
Check in was super easy with door code. Instructions were clear to get to the hotel and to get into the room. Perfect setup for me, my spouse, a 24 year old and 12 year old. Pretty view from the balcony. Lots of food options in hotel, including Dave’s Ice Cream which was delicious! A market downstairs as well if you need snacks, drinks, etc. Always easy to get an Uber quickly right from the main entrance of the hotel. Could easily walk to the lagoon and beach from the back side of the hotel. Would recommend staying here for your Oahu adventures!
Clean, comfortable and nicely decorated unit; pretty marina and ocean views from the lanai; a short walk to the pools, lagoon and ocean; kitchen is well-appointed for cooking if desired; quality linens; we really appreciated the provided beach towels, chairs, umbrella, cooler and filtered water pitcher; several restaurants are located in the hotel and nearby. Thank you, Jana, for a great visit and for the prompt responses to all of my questions!
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?
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.
This property is exactly as advertised. Newly refurbished & clean with stunning views of the lagoon, marina & ocean. Jana did a great job communicating & it was a fabulous trip. We would stay here again, for sure! Mahalo!
The view is one of the best features of this place. It is very comfortable and worked out very well for our family of 3. Ilikai can be a bit crowded but the location of the condo away from the central elevator area is helpful - it was surprisingly quiet.
Property was clean and was a great location- we could see beach and marina from our balcony. Easy walk to beach and the on site market, bar/grill were a great bonus. Dave’s ice cream and the coffee shop were visited daily. Staff was kind and friendly the valet parking was convenient. Would definitely stay again.
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!
Very clean & comforting stay with a nice view, comfortable bed, air conditioner & beach chairs, etc. Walking distance to everywhere we wanted to visit. Parking overnight can be expensive but there is a garage above Red Lobster, across the street that we used. We would definitely stay here again.
This was the perfect location and place for us. Wasn’t get to, very close to the Waikiki beach walk. Just perfect. Thank you.
The property was as advertised. It was clean and had all the amenities that we were looking for. Easy checkin. Detailed booklet of everything about the property and surrounding area. Beautiful view. We would definitely go back.
This building is an easy walk from the main drag in Waikiki but also allows you to easily walk to Ala Moana. It was well appointed with linens and beach supplies (relative to other units in the building). The one constructive piece of feedback we have is that the pots and pans were warped, limiting their usefulness on the electric range.
I recently had the pleasure of staying in this charming apartment at the iconic Ilikai Hotel, and it was the perfect beachfront getaway.
Location: 5/5
Right on the beach with stunning ocean views, it’s hard to beat this spot. The Ilikai is ideally located near Waikiki Beach, Ala Moana Center, and great dining options.
The Apartment: 4.5/5
The space is compact but comfortable, ideal for solo travelers or couples. It features a cozy queen bed, a small kitchenette, and basic amenities. Storage is a bit tight, but for a short stay, it works great.
Amenities: 4/5
The Ilikai has 2 pools, a nice restaurant (just opened), shops, and a welcoming vibe. The water was pretty warm and perfect for morning swims.
Views: 5/5
The highlight of this place is the view! The ocean vistas from the apartment are incredible—perfect for watching sunsets or enjoying the morning sunrise.
Communication: 10/5
Jana was incredibly responsive and always available, both before and during my stay. Her prompt replies and attentive service made the entire experience seamless.
I couldn’t have asked for a better spot to relax and unwind in Waikiki! I will, actually am, recommend this place to family and friends and will for sure come back
We loved our stay at this beautiful condo. The location was perfect. Place was clean, conveniently located near restaurants and shops and only a 5 minute walk to get to the beach. Host is very responsive. We will definitely be coming back. Thank you Jana!
The condo was very clean and well stocked. Communication with Jana was excellent. The view form the balcony was very enjoyable.
Super-convenient location. The condo was nicely decorated, comfortable, clean, and had everything we needed. Host was very responsive and helpful. Would stay again!
Great location! Clean, well-managed property! Valet parking staff was amazing! There’s a mini grocery store that had everything I forgot to bring!
Only negative was Cinnamon Restaurant is permanently closed ☹️
Hello - our experience with the condo was wonderful. We had an issue with the pull out bed the first day, but Jana was on top of it, and had it corrected for us ASAP!! thanks Jana... Views were absolutely beautiful, location was pristine, you can walk to most places and eat at the great variety of restaurant's... over all I give this a 10 out of 10. Even with my floor being full, it was very quiet in our room. thanks Beth & family
We had a great time, clean and looks like the pictures big patio, great view. My only complaint was we ran out of paper towels and bathroom tissue. Went to ABC store to pick it up but they didn’t have any. Borrowed from our kids who were staying at a hotel.
I misunderstood the listing (my fault)…I have always called a hide-a-bed, a couch that folds out, not a futon. I mistakenly thought there would be a couch as well. It worked out just had to do a little shifting. Futon was not comfortable on my back, but others had no problem. Condo was clean, appropriately supplied, and centrally located. Do yourself a favor and do NOT rent a car. Plenty of transportation available, instead of paying 45.00 daily valet fee.Several rental car places available right by condo, so could turn in after driving from airport.
This is a beautiful condo with a beautiful view. The condo was super clean, had everything we needed, and the bed was very comfortable. We enjoyed watching the boats and surfers from the balcony and there are many great restaurants and alot of shopping within walking distance. We would definitely stay here again!
This is our second time staying here when coming to Oahu. We love the location and property!! Great place!!!
The location was terrific. Everything was just as advertised and was comfortable. We plan on staying there again. Jana was easy to reach with questions. Thank You Jana
This condo was GORGEOUS and had incredible views! We were two adults and two teens and everyone had a comfortable place to sleep (king bed and pull out sofa bed). There was a pop up hamper for laundry, iron w/board, full kitchen amenities, Keurig (we brought pods with us and saved time/money on store stops), Extension cord which was handy, plus all you'd need for a day at the beach (chairs, mats, boogie boards, umbrellas). It was a perfect location for walking everywhere, as we didn't rent a car. There is a bus stop right outside too, if you needed to go farther. They offer a luggage storage in the Ilikai too, which is $2/bag for condo guests. That was SUPER helpful, as we had an evening flight. When I was looking into booking at the Ilikai, most bookings referenced a luggage storage across the street and almost $6/bag...so having it IN building and $2/bag was WAY awesome!
Everything was perfect and ready for us. When I messaged Jana she responded SO fast! Would definitely recommend this unit and this host!
Or first impression of the hotel where this property is located was that it was a very nice place. The view from the lanai is like the photo on the web site and the best part of our stay. However once we got in the unit the disappointment started from there. The list of things that need improvement or for consideration for future renters is as follows:
1) Bedding is old and yellowed
2) the mattress on the bed in the primary sleeping area was very uncomfortable.
3) The cutlery is very old and looks like it belongs in a school cafeteria.
4) Curtains are very sheer which does not block out any morning light at all.
4) For our 3 day stay, Inadequate supply of shampoo and body wash. We had to go out and buy some.
5) Major problem with elevators. Not really fast enough to handle the traffic for 25 floors. Limited 7 people per elevator car.
6) No streaming - owner prohibits any kind of streaming - only cable TV available.
7) No dishwasher - had to wash dishes by hand everyday.
8) Patio table to low for the chairs.
9) Metal barstools need cushions.
10) Exterior noise coming from the street even with the lanai doors closed is very noticeable.
If the owner addresses most of the issues listed above it may result in a better experience for future renters.
Great location, we always stay in the area while visiting HNL. The condo was stocked with anything you would need. As well as a great store on the lobby floor. Not to mention, when you leave the Iliaki Hotel by walking left or right you hit ABC stiores and restaurants. Thank you Jana
We had a wonderful vacation and the condo was just perfect! Great location, close to amenities, restaurant and my son’s favorite- Dave’s Ice Cream.
