Nice Condo

Keko from Vancouver BC on 03/11/2010 said:

“ Our stay in 1512 in the Ilikai was very pleasant. The view was nice and it was very comfortable. The $125. per night seemed reasonable as well. The problem I have is the $125. charged for a cleaning fee. If you divide the $125. by the three days stay, the cost of the room comes to $165. + the taxes added to the $125. all comes to around $180. per night. We barely left dust during our stay to warrant such a charge. There are many hotels that we could have stayed in for the same amount that offer daily cleaning and are situated much closer to the action of Waikiki. ”

Happy at Ilikai from Seattle, Washington on 03/10/2010 said:

“ Stayed for 10 days in unit and especially enjoyed the view of the Hilton Lagoon and the ocean. Arrangements to stay in this unit went smoothly and the unit was comfortable. Like the location which is close to the action of Waikiki but far enough removed to not be hectic. Unit is pretty nice though some of the furniture and walls are starting to show some wear and tear. Kitchen was well supplied and worked well for our needs. ”

Better than expected

“ Telling everyone about condo unit 1512 is like telling everybody about your favorite fishing spot - something you'd rather keep a secret but it's too good not to spread the word!! The condo was better than we expected and better than advertised. The view was spectacular, the unit immaculate and handy to laundry facilities, garbage disposal and elevators. Lots of storage and many conveniences in the kitchen i.e. blender, microwave, corkscrew etc etc. It's a mild exercise to walk to the beach and the main tourist areas, however that neck of the woods is a little quieter and has the Outback Steakhouse and Red Lobster close by and the Ala Moana Shopping Centre is only a 10 minute walk. Other reviews we have read on this unit have referred to a noisy fan behind the kitchen wall; we found this a non-issue as some 'white' noise is relaxing and probably helped us sleep! Unfortunately we must recommend this condo (but please don't everybody book it up solid for the future - we want to go back!) !!! Thank you Eleanor...it was a dream holiday! ”

“ Everything was fine except that we arrived, very tired, from St. Louis at 3.20pm and there was no key in the lock box. I had to call and wait for your local representative to come with a key to let us in. ”

Spectacular Views

Overall rating:
Bartlem from Rockhampton Queensland Australia on 09/02/2009 said:

“ The Condo is in a great location with spectacular views. Unfortunately there is a major noise problem. The Condo is situated next to a room where an exhaust unit, which runs 24/7 has been installed. This unit has been installed near the opposite side of the kitchen/living room wall of the Condo and you can feel the vibration of the motor through the wall. At night the noise is louder and it is very difficult to sleep. We have just had our fifth trip to Honolulu and we thought we had finally found our dream place to stay - a well-appointed Condo in a great location with spectacular views. You can imagine how disappointed we are that we will have to look elsewhere if we return. I hope this noise problem can be rectified so people can enjoy the Condo and more importantly recommend this Condo to their friends. ”

Nice place to stay for easy access to Waikiki beach

gooffy from Montreal, Qc on 08/08/2009 said:

“ This unit was perfect for us. We were at walking distance from the Waikiki main street stores, restaurants and nightclub. The view on the beach just in front of the condo is awesome. The unit was very clean, well maintained. Nothing wrong to say about this place. ”

Wonderful view

lady lingren from pittsburgh, pa on 07/28/2009 said:

“ This was a very nice condo ~ more worn (privacy screen was in need of repair, but we did not use it)than we expected but in very good shape overall. The view from the deck is splendid. There was plenty of bedding available, as well as beach towels. Having an internet connection was a very nice perk. The smoke alarm battery died & the unit would not shut off even when battery was removed (electric) and the owner's people were very good about coming to replace the battery - actually we replaced it to "shut it up" and we were reimbursed for this expense. There is no dishwasher, but we ate out or at our daughter's larger condo so this was not an issue for us. The livingroom area could use a ceiling fan. There was a sand chair in closet, a boogie board & a beach umbrella but they were all broken. All in all we had a very nice week in this condo, and I would recommend it. We were disappointed in the $120 cleaning fee, as other relatives were not charged or paid a lesser amount. Would check more closely on this cost next time. ”

“ Condo 1512 was absolutely fantastic. The condo had many upgrades, a wonderful view & was just steps away from the surf. Our 2 year old daughter LOVED the pool, beach & did great in the condo. She especially loved watching the Hilton Luau from the lanai every night! It was such a nice perk! We felt very at home in your condo, and appreciate all the great amenities you had available. The boogie board was a big hit with our daughter! And the full kitchen was a big hit with me! Thanks for a wonderful stay & we can't wait to go back to the beautiful island of Oahu. Especially now that we know of such a wonderful place to stay! jamie, shawn & maya ”

Nicole R from Port Orchard, WA on 06/25/2009 said:

“ My family and I stayed here during a recent trip to Hawaii. We loved the location and the view from the lanai was beautiful. The room was within walking distance to the beach or the lagoon. It was also centrally located to anything that one may need. The room was fully stocked with everything needed for the stay; towels, beach towels, kitchen utensils, etc. There are also books and DVDs for down time. Our only complaint would be the parking. There is no "free" parking. There is free daily parking by the beach but its not overnight, hourly parking across the street (25 cents an hour)by the harbor or valet parking at the hotel for $25 a day. We opted for valet parking as the easiest and least stressful. Plus, with valet parking, you can pull right up and empty your trunk. The backside of the hotel offers only stairs. However, we would definetely stay again if we return to Hawaii. ”

“ My husband and I stayed in Ilikai Unit 1512 for 3 nights while celebrating our 15 year anniversary. The condo was very comfortable and conveniently located. While it's not right in the mist of the action of Waikiki it's only a pleasant stroll away. The Ilikai is located on the far end of the beach near the Hilton Hawaiian Village for 1/3 or less of the price. The owner, Eleanor, even surprised us with a bottle of champagne as an anniversary gift! Highly recommend this unit! ”

“ We rented the place on our last leg of our first trip to hawaii after staying in Maui. The first time we stepped into the door was heart stopping as the place exceeded our expectations. It was perfect for us as we required a kitchen which was in excellent condition with all utensils. We had beautiful weather with great views which made our stay feel like a dream. It looked so much better than the pictures especially the TV. We had no problems at all with anything, it was simple as the keys were in the door safe as per email everything was there, it was close to the beach, transport, trolleys and Ala Moana Shopping centre. I really recommend the place as we really did. ”

The Place to Stay

Overall rating:
D & D from Stratford, PEI on 04/23/2009 said:

“ This place was perfect for us. We had our own well equipped kitchen and our own balcony overlooking the water. The only downside was that our flight didn't leave until 10:00 p.m. and we had to be out of the room by 11:00 a.m. We had to stay by the pool for the day with our luggage poolside as well. Front desk didn't seem to be very accommodating. ”

“ My wife and I chose Ilikai Hotel 1512 during our stay in Waikiki and we can both say we are pretty picky when it comes to where we stay when traveling abroad. I have only good things to say about condo 1512 and made our stay more enjoyable! The room was really clean and the location was really good. We had no issues checking in and checking out. Lastly, the price could not be beat! I would definitely stay here again. ”

Julie (Brooklyn, Michigan) from Brooklyn, Michigan on 04/16/2009 said:

“ We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Condo1512 at the Ilikai. It was exactly as it looked on the web site (that's always a worry). It was clean, very conveniently located for us and had a gorgeous view of the ocean. Having the laundry room across the hall was great and also the closeness to both elevators (normal and bathing suit) was a plus! We would definitely recommend the condo to others. We did suggest that the owner put a fan in the bathroom (for elimination of steam, for noise filtering, etc. The Condo was just perfect for us! Mahalo and Aloha! ”

Great apartment in between Waikiki and Ala Moana

Overall rating:
soz2042 from Sydney, Australia on 04/16/2009 said:

“ I stayed at Ilikai for a 8 days. It has a nice, spacious lobby area that opens to the back of the hotel and a small bar. Nice picture taking. The apartment was big enough for 3 adults with a king size bed and sofa bed. The kitchen had all required appliances available. Bathroom was a good size with shower, not a bathtub. There is balcony that looks over the back of the hotel facing the ocean. There is partial ocean view as the balcony also faces the back of another hotel. Location is ok - it's about 20 mins walk from Waikiki beach (which is quite long - Ilikai is on one end of Waikiki). It is 10 mins walk to Ala Moana, the main shopping complex. Easy to get to the bus stops at Ala Moana. Coffee places, convenience store and restaurants are all near Ilikai. I enjoyed the apartment, it's very comfortable for long term stay. It made me feel at home. ”

“ We highly recommend Ilikai. It is very central, walking distance to Ala Moana shopping center, safe for children with pool, lagoon and the beach for swimming, without crossing the street.If you need a car free parking at the marina. Having a kitchen is a bonus.Beach towels and mats for the beach were also included. We will be back and highly recommend to our friends. Enjoy ”

“ We spent a week here, and it was good time. Our granddaughter found found a lot of toys in the room to play at the beach, and we enjoyed reliable and fast wireless internet connection. Kitchen had everything we needed. However there were some issues - when we arrived, internet and even phone services were disconnected, We spent some time to figure out what need to be plugged in into what. But finally everything worked fine. There also was a problem with bathroom drain at some point, but it was fixed quickly. We would recommend this property. ”

Would Definately Return

Overall rating:
Robin from Cloverdale, BC, Canada on 04/02/2009 said:

“ We were 3 females in an open floorplan bachalor suite - our opinion - more suitable for a couple or 2 persons only. Sofa bed uncomfortable to sleep on. This apartment is small but very clean. Nice furnishings, modern, bright - lovely view of the lagoon and Pacific Ocean from a balcony with a privacy shield. Fully equipped and clean kitchen - immaculate bathroom. We all would return. BUT REMEMBER: you are renting a condo that is located in an old hotel. All of the shops on the main floor were closed accept a small food store that was extremely overpriced. No restaurants/gift stores etc. You will not receive any assisance from Hotel Staff. Parking is extremely overpriced for condo rentors. You are not welcome at the pool. Yes you can use it but the other owners will not make you feel welcome. ”

“ This was our second stay in this condo. We love the view and the price allowed us to stay longer. We will return for our next Hawaiian vacation. I love the Ilikai for it's Views, location and history, but it's getting old. The condo is remodeled and very nice, but the building is in need of some major work. I was sorry to see that the condo owners and the developer who wanted to remodel the place couldn't aggree, so he pulled out. It's kinda like a ghost town in the shop areas down stairs. The owner of my condo and the Alohacondos people we delt with were great. Thanks for the memories. Andy ”
