My wife and I had a wonderful stay at this property. It was perfect for our needs. I would say this property is perfect for two people but would be crowded with any more than that. The bed is comfortable , the kitchen is stocked well enough for simple meals ,the view of the ocean from the lanai is awesome. We enjoyed breakfast and coffee every morning on this lanai. The location of this property is the quiet end of Waikiki and is a short 5 minute walk to the beach. The one thing I would say is that the first picture on this posting is not accurate. You cannot see the sunset from the lanai, but having said that the view is awesome. (Also just for reference, you also cannot see the Friday night fireworks from this lanai)Neither of these were a big deal as a short 5 minute walk and all these views are available The communications and the response from the marabella team is probably the best I have experienced in any rental. We would definitely stay here again

Great location. We have stayed at the Ilikai numerous times and this unit did not disappoint. Very well outfitted with extras for the beach which was greatly appreciated!

We had a great stay overall. Opening the curtains every morning to an ocean view was really amazing! The bathroom, especially the shower, could really use some tlc and updating. The suite was a good size for a couple, and we appreciated the beach chairs and umbrella that were available for our use.

Great facilities and perfect location especially to the beach area at Hawaiin Hilton and Fort Derussy Hale Koa.

The room is very nicely arranged and very comfortable. The views from the balcony are relaxing, especially at dusk. You get the quieter side of Waikiki but with the beach an easy walk away and plenty of bars and restaurants in the area.

Had a code problem the first night but it was settled quickly

The property across the alley had a large, noisy (bullhorns & drum banging), 7am-10pm protest. It had been going on for THREE weeks prior to our stay. We should have been notified. The manager refunded 20% which was appreciated. The Ilikai is superb; the room 4 stars - with everything we needed and a great view. We appreciated the beach chairs especially!

First time coming to Hawaii and it was a nice stay. The pictures were not up to date. For example it shows a couch that has a pull out bed but what was in there was a futon, it shows two storage drawer shelves but there was only one. There were scuffs/chipped paint on the entry wall and a broken picture that had been taped. Also wanted to point out there is no dish washer or closet. A plus is they were quick to reply to my emails when I couldn’t enter with the code provided and when I needed clean towels.

Our place was great. Nice space, perfect location for us. When I needed to connect with the host they were very responsive and helpful. We needed wine glasses and they delivered that first night a brand new set of 4. A couple of things were not working perfectly and I let them know so they would be report the next guests. TV system would not work for us but we didn’t really mind. I also did not ask about figuring it out because we were busy with our plans for Oahu! A smart tv would be a good investment to make a smoother and easier process for guests but again for us no tv was fine. Hotel was nice also, condo owners in the hotel don’t have as many privileges but not that affected us. The restaurant on the bottom floor Cinnamon (?) was closed the entire time and should be updated in the listing. Overall I would stay there again: location, ocean view and peaceful spot.

Our apartment was exactly as show in the property photos. This is a studio apartment that was perfect for two adults. It has a fold down futan sofa for extra guests but it would be a tight fit for another 1 or 2 guests. There was a nice kitchen with everything you would need to cook a meal, although we only used the coffee pot, and full size frig to store drinks and some snacks. They provided the coffee grounds which was a nice surprise, so we didn't need to go out in the morning. The lanai had views of the ocean, harbour and the Hilton's lagoon. It was shaded for most of the morning, so we often sat out on the provided table and chairs to drink our coffee and enjoy the views. It was relatively quiet on that side of the building. The king size bed was comfy and the floor we were on was quiet. We loved the apartment and would stay there again.

This was our first trip to Honolulu and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The executive suite we rented for the week had stunning views from the balcony. We were near/walking distance from nearly everywhere, and getting around was a breeze. We were slightly away from the hub-bub of the main Waikiki Beach area, and that was nice, even though we enjoyed the few times we explored the area. Would return for sure!
