“ My husband, adult son and I enjoyed the condo very much. The lanai's view is fantastic. The condo was very clean. It was convenient to many things. We did not rent a car, but we were able to walk to many places, the aquarium, the zoo, beaches, and many fantastic restaurants. We had TheBus for the longer trips. I liked the privacy of the bedroom set apart from the living room. ”

“ The condo was very comfortable and clean and was well situated for shopping, groceries, and restaurants. The only drawback with the room was that there is no way to close off the bedroom area completely from the living room area. We also enjoyed the Ilikai Bar & Grille - very friendly bartenders and an interesting mix of guests. Friday nite Hula was fun and entertaining. ”

“ From the moment we walked into the condo we we felt right at home. The decor is beautiful, the kitchen had all we needed and the view in one word is amazing. The Ilikai is just a 10 minute walk from the ala Moana Shopping Centre which is a great place to pick up all your groceries. We would definitely love to come here again and take up our place on the lanai and just relax some more. ”

“ Condo 1639 was the perfect place for eelebrating our 61st wedding anniverasy and our 22nd trip to the Islands. It is tastefully furnished, clean and everything you could possibly need at your fingerti[s. The location is best, the bus line, and is walkable distance to the mall and ala Moana Beach Park. It truly is a gem. I would not recommend htis condo to families with small children, as one would need to close the lanai sliders, for fear of chldren climbing over the rail. Keeping the sliders open iw what it's all abut in Hawaii. ”

“ My wife and I decided to go to Hawaii to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary. My wife spent months on the internet trying to find just the right holiday. She looked at all of the different hotels and weighed the plus' and minus'. We finally decided on Unit 1639 at the Ilikai. What a great call. We loved this suite. We actually had friends come with us and they stayed in a different room at the Ilikai so we were able to do a little comparison while we were there. Although their room had two beds there was no storage so they had to live out of their suitcases. We had nice big clothes and linen closets. Their room felt like a hotel room, ours felt like a home. They did not have the same services as us, such as free internet, free long distance, and our tv service was better. Although we loved the rest of Waikiki, this room was the highlight of our trip. The view of the marina is great and the sunsets are fantastic. The Ilikai is located at the end of the beach but this was not a problem for us. It is no more than a short walk to anything. We will happily stay in this suite at the Ilikai again. ”

Stylish, Immaculate & Great Location!

“ My family and I recently enjoyed a 3 night stay in Unit 1639 at Illikai Hotel and Apartments. We loved every moment from the friendly greeting by the Porter who helped us with all our bags to the great location only minutes walk from Ala Moana Shopping Centre and Waikiki shops/beach. The owners have created a very comfortable unit although within a small area. It is probably better suited to just one couple, however we had our 11 and 12 year old daughters with us and they were comfortable enough sleeping on the fold out couch. I must admit given the cost I had warned my family not to expect much having stayed at places up to that point that were 2 or 3 times the price, however once I opened the door we were all blown away at how beautifully the unit was furnished. Also the kitchen had everything you needed to cook a family meal etc if you wanted. The views from the balcony over the harbour were also quite relaxing. Overall I found the unit much quieter than previous accommodation we had stayed in at Waikiki Beachwalk. The only thing that would make this unit better would be if it had laundry facilities but there really isn't the room. There may be facilities elsewhere within the complex, to be honest I didn't ask. The owners may like to replace the locks getting into the unit as we found them a bit tricky sometimes to get open. Other than that I would honestly say that if you are a couple looking to stay in Honolulu you couldn't do any better. Thoroughly recommend and if we come back to Honolulu it is definately where we will stay! ”

“ Stayed at Ilikai #1639 for 5 nights. It was a very nice place. Updated decor. Clean. Great location. My first trip to Hawaii and couldn't have found a better place to stay. Booking was very easy and everything went smoothly. I would stay here again and would recommend it to my friends. ”

“ This condo is beautiful. Beautifully decorated, beautiful view, beautiful accomodations. Everything about the condo was luxurous. The apliances were all modern which we were expecting because of the photos. What I was delightfully surprised about was the super high thread count sheets on both the master bed AND for the pull out couch. In addition, the bath towels were luxureous! We had just finished a 6 night stay at the Hyatt down the road and the quality level of linens here blew the Hyatt away!! Thank you sooooo much! I loved that everything we could want or need in the condo was there. My children especially loved having the use of a boogie board and I loved the beach chairs. The only thing that I could complain about was that there was construction going on at the building next door and so we could not enjoy the lanai in the morning or afternoon because the jack hammering was too loud. ”

“ Lovely condo, great use of space with reno. as we looked at the ones for sale. Have recommended this unit already. Helen was very helpful Our stay was like being at home. Would have liked some granite cleaner. Watch your cleaning staff, rather costly for the amount of work done in an hour. The bed was very comfortable. Internet and phone was a real bonus. Thanks again for sharing your home ”

Happy in Hawaii from Calgary, Canada on 03/10/2010 said:

“ FWe had a good time in Hawaii. We enjoyed our stay. We found everything clean and working well. We made our breakfast every day and sat on the lanai every morning. It was nice sitting out and looking at the sunset in the evenings. We found it to be the perfect place for location. The beach was a five minute walk and they were clean and relaxing. The super mall was about a five minute walk as well. The whole time I felt safe walking around which is one of the best things I liked. I would definatly go back and rent unit 1639. The owner was very nice and we appreciate everything she did to make our stay feel like home. Mahalo Don & Faye ”

“ Truly a great unit! Everything we needed was there, from cooking utensils to shampoo and boogie boards. The furnishings and floor plan were wonderful, allowing open space and privacy. The views and sunsets are exceptional from the patio. Very friendly people in and around the building and very close to everything. Helen was very prompt and thorough with check in information and followup questions, thank you for your assistance when my wife locked herself out. We would definitly book this again. ”

“ This was our first time renting a condo instead of staying at a hotel and I can definitely say I would go back again. The condo was very nice, it had everything we needed and was in a great location. We had three small children and having a full kitchen was wonderful. The only downside was that the pool was being renovated during our stay, but since the beach was only a 5 minute walk we really didn't mind. ”

 

Pretty nice first time in Oahu, thanks to this condo.

“ Really good interior design -- its a small space, but the layout really compliments the area so you never feel cramped or overcrowded by the furniture. Very modern and very clean. Although the boats were not much to look at, the sunrise/sunsets from this condo were awesome. You can even spot the surfers on the distant beach, and see regular cruise ships and freighters pass by. Our only concerns were the sliding door lock and the main bed. We had our 3yr with us, and there was no way to securely shut the door -- so ended up barricading the doors at night with furniture...lol. That and the main bed was really uncomfortable -- our son definitely scored with the comfy sofa bed. Re: Ilikai in general - many stores downstairs (lobby area) and the on-location restaurant were boarded up and vacant during our stay, so it has seen better days. The hotel next-door (what you see from lanai) is still undergoing renovation, but construction noise was not an issue. So barring the lobby area, the courtyard gardens were gorgeous. Plus every evening they light the torches outside and have a brief conch shell ceremony around sunset. Also has to be mentioned -- the shared lagoon in walking distance directly before the beach was awesome. They stock it with tiny fish, so all the kids had a blast trying to spot/chase/catch them. Turned out to be a lifesaver when we found out our son thought the sound of waves was 'too scary'! ”

Manager response:

“ Thank you for comments about our condo.

I will work to get a lock added to the sliding door to make it more secure in the future. Also, you mentioned that the main bed was uncomfortable. This concerns me greatly because I would like all of my guests to sleep well. Other guests have commented that the bed is extremely comfortable. It is a high quality mattress which was purchases just a few months ago.

I value your feedback and will email you asking if you could offer more information.

Your comments are greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,
Helen Ting, Owner ”

“ Really enjoyed staying at this condo. It was extremely clean, and well supplied. The condo was very modern right down to email access and a DVD player. Enjoyed having the full kitchen which made breakfasts very enjoyable on the lanai overlooking the beautiful view of the ocean. Highly recommend this property to anyone! We will definitely consider staying here again. ”

“ The Ilikai is not as well maintained as we would have hoped. The neighboring hotel (which is part of the view) appears to be condemned or forgotten, with windows papered over and a pool full of brown water. The condo itself was nicely appointed, but the building fire alarms went off repeatedly in the night, requiring us to at least get up and call the desk, and at worst carry our frightened 5-year-old down many flights of stairs in the middle of the night. Could be a nice vacation spot after building and area maintenance are completed. ”
