“ We stayed for 4 nights and the condo was everything we needed. The view was great and it was wonderful having a coffee in the morning with an ocean view. There was information left for us tourist such as maps and brochures. There was even a beach bag to tote our things which was incredibly useful and we really appreciated! We didn't use the boogie boards or beach things, but everthing is there that you could need without having to rent or purchase. The location is fantastic with restaurants nearby and the aBC store for grocery or snack items. It is an easy walk to the Waikiki strip for the action. The valet parking was expensive but very convenient! The unit was nice and very clean. I would highly recommend a stay in this unit. ”

“ Our condo was lovely and give great views of the lagoon and ocean. Could not have had a better view of the fireworks and the luau at the hilton. Closeness to Waikiki and the shopping centre made this the greatest choice for us and the public parking at the rear made it cheaper to have a car at our disposal. Thanks for the opportunity to rent your lovely condo and we hope to return soon. ”

“ Our stay at the Ilikai Condo 1540 was fantastic. The owner and the staff at Aloha Condos were extremely helpful. The unit was great for our family (2 adults, 2 children age 5,9). Very clean, modern and all the things you need (and more). We had the most amazing view which overlooks the lagoon and beach. Can't wait to go back to Hawaii. Thank you! ”

“ We stayed at the condo with our two young children and had a wonderful time. The place was nice and clean and the location was close to everything. There's a fabulous mall less than a mile from the condo with a Foodland (grocery store) where we got all of our groceries. It was great having a full kitchen, especially when you are traveling with kids and not having to go out to eat all the time. There's a lagoon right next to the beach and the water is calm there for small children. We had a good view of the ocean from the balcony and had breakfast out there every morning. The sleeping arrangement worked out well with the kids sleeping on the brand new sofa bed and we took the king bed in the bedroom which is separated by three large japanese style screens. Great place to stay! ”

“ This condo was perfect for us (2 adults and 11month old). The view is amazing! We watched the Hilton fireworks on Friday night right from our lanai. It is close to shopping and the beach is steps away. I would totally recommend this condo and will stay here again. ”

“ Well appointed condo. Nice view. Smokers in other condos on our floor fouled the air. We reported them to security, but the smoke continued. Some people are so inconsiderate. Otherwise, a very nice stay. ”

Manager response:

“ Aloha Mrs. Wonderful! Mahalo for staying with us!

We're sorry to hear about your experience with the smokers in the other units. Please note that unit 1540 is a non-smoking unit. The Ilikai's common areas and all lanais are also smoke free. Thank you for calling security!

Mahalo also for your feedback!

Cheers,

“ My husband and I and our 2 teenage children stayed here for 5 nights. The one fault we found was that the sofa bed was broken and we had to use an air mattress which took up a lot of room and made the condo look very small. It was clean and the view off the balcony was very nice. We loved the Ilikai Hotel and we were within walking distance of the Aloa Moana shopping complex. We had a very enjoyable stay. ”

Manager response:

“ Aloha Gazza!

Thank you for staying with us!

We sincerely apologize about the sofa. Unfortunately, due to the remoteness of the islands, it took longer than than we expected for the custom ordered replacement sofa to arrive; the Serta air mattress that we put in the unit was a temporary solution until the sofa arrived.

We now have a brand new sleeper sofa in the unit! Thank you for your feedback!

Cheers,
Hans & Daljeet ”

Reasonable price, but too small for more than 2 people.

“ We had friends stay in the same condos, but they had a much nicer model. This condo had a very old couch/bed that was broken and needed upgrading. ”

Manager response:

“ Aloha Taylor!

Mahalo for staying with us, and we're sorry to hear about your experience with the unit.

Please note that all of the one-bedroom condos at the Ilikai are the same size.

The condo is our home away from home (we are a family of four), and was fully renovated less than five years ago.

We have replaced the sofa with a brand new sleeper sofa.

Mahalo for your feedback!

The view was beautiful, the condo was nice but the pull out did

“ The condo had a great location and view. Overall it was clean and neat except for the couch which was very worn and did not fit the rest of the condo. The real issue came when it was time to go to sleep. It was a one bedroom with a pull out couch. Since it was me and my brother there for a wedding we really needed the couch and it would not open. After spending the first 2 nights sleeping on the couch, which was beyond old we found an air mattress and he used that the rest of the week. This condo said it slept 4 and if you went there with 4 in mind you would have been disappointed. If you were a party of 2 sharing the bed I would highly recommend. The location, the view, the overall look and feel of the lobby were great. ”

jill from calgary Ab, canada on 07/13/2009 said:

“ we enjoyed our stay at the condo. The ad on the site stated a queen bed and a bed setee. when we arrived and tried to use the bed settee --it was broken. We eventually got the bed settee pulled out but could not retract it ,therefore it became an issue during the day for space ..we discovered a blowup bed in the closet a few days later . this was comfy but took up a lot of room . If we deflated it every morning then we had to blow it up every night .. We wish we had been told about this before we arrived or when we arrived and did not have the hassle of finding it out for ourselves. Everything else was good and if the settee was fixed --would recommend this condo. Liked the view and location . ”

Nice Room, Clean, Close to the Action

RobH from Omaha, NE on 06/19/2009 said:

“ We had a nice 6 day stay at this condo in May. The Ilikai hotel building itself is a little outdated, and I'm used to staying at nicer hotels (Westins are usually the standard), but when I entered the condo itself I was pleased. It was updated, clean, and had a nice view. The couch was a little beat up, but no big deal. We really liked having a kitchenette in the room since we had a 2 year old and a newborn, and eating breakfasts and lunch in the condo was much easier than eating out each day. We parked at the Marina Parking garage across the street...which was a little inconvenient but not too bad ($20 or so per day). It was about a 10 minute walk to get down to the beach which was really cool. About the only draw back was the fact that we overlooked the Hilton's lagoon pool, with waterslides and such, and I was extremely jealous because the Ilikai's pool was pretty basic. Other than that, it was a nice stay and a good deal. ”

Very pleasant stay!

“ Studio apartment was very adequate for two adults -- nice partial ocean view, comfy king-sized bed; full kitchen including full-size frig, stove with oven, & generous supply of dishes & cook/bake-ware. Metered and pay-and-display parking is handy about a 1-minute walk out the back door for 25-cents per hour (free for handicapped, if you call and ask the parking company) or Ilikai has a valet garage (more expensive). Nice location for restaurants. Easy walk to main part of Waikiki Beach (beach towels provided). We already plan to stay there, if possible, when we go again (military son stationed on Oahu). You can even watch the Hilton Luau from the balcony (Hilton is almost next door). Closet was "divided" so difficult to hang dresses and tall-man's pants, and not much of a place for suitcases. Most of ground floor shops were vacant -- Ilikai may be in bankruptcy proceedings (in the late-May news), so we're a bit nervous about arriving to find everything closed and locked up tight. Managers were very accommodating of our many questions and when we wanted to extend for an extra day. ”

Warren from Roseville, CA on 05/19/2009 said:

“ We visited Waikiki for 6 days and found this condo to be excellent. We were in Hawaii for a wedding and it was somewhat satisfying to have other friends of ours (who were staying in other hotels) tell us how jealous they were of our condo, and how much nicer it was than their room. All in all the condo had everything we needed, and was an extremely nice room. I plan on using Aloha Condos when I visit Maui next year. ”

Nom and Lisa Eberle from Charleston, SC on 04/10/2009 said:

“ After a week of research I chose Aloha Condos and condo #1540 at the Ilikai Hotel and Apartments. Upon our arrival I became the instant hero of our family! My husband was thrilled because it was a great value and my children were beside themselves ready to go to the lagoon which is the first thing they saw as they ran to the lanai to get their first glimpse of their world for the week. The communication with Aloha Condos was excellent and professional-what you see online is really what you get and more. We had everything we needed and the condo was equipped perfectly. We went to the Foodland in the Ala Moana shopping center on our first day for breakfast supplies and snacks- the kitchen had everthing and their was even a cooler in the condo for our adventures!We took advantage of the beach chairs and sand toys that were there as well. Everyone was very nice at the Ilikai especially the valet parkers- *hint* you can deal with them on parking. My husband got them to agree to $18 a day instead of $25. It was well worth it- we never had to wait over 2-3 minutes for our car and they always asked if we needed directions etc. Our beds were comfortable, the water pressure was excellent and we really felt like it was our home for the week. The last thing we did was stand on the lanai and enjoy that view as a family and my 15 year old son said, "Thanks for the best vacation ever" Thank you Aloha Condos, we will visit again and recommend you to all or friends. ”

Great little apartment

Tracey from Calgary, Alberta, Canada on 04/03/2009 said:

“ The apartment was exactly as shown on the rental website. It was clean and well equipped and had a great view of the ocean. The outside of the building isn't very attractive and could use some updating. One pool was under renovation but we found chairs easily enough at the other pool. You can walk to the beach but it is a little rocky at the end we were at..so you had to walk a bit further down the beach for nicer sand...but considering the price we paid for the rental - we were very pleased that we were able to be on Waikiki beach at all! We walked to most everything. Transit is easy to figure out and we took it a few times including to Pearl Harbour. We took a few bus tours as well and were picked up right at the building. Parking is an issue in Waikiki so it was nice to get around without renting a car. We went to the Big Island the second week and Needed a car to get anywhere! My only complaint is the elevators were slow and not all working. I would stay there again in a minute. ”

“ The entire condo was in excellent condition. All the furniture was comfortable and clean. The bed was very restful. Plenty of room for unpacking and hanging clothes. The bathroom and kitchen were easy to manage. The only glitch was the lockbox on the door handle. It was difficult to open. Maybe needs to be replaced once in a while. Other than that, I would rate this as one of the best. Thanks ”
