Great Time

Ralph and Shawna from Gautier Mississippi USA on 07/14/2010 said:
“ The condo was great for two people. The sofa was a bed if you had more people. There was a queen bed bed but the entire room is the condo. It was great and comfortable for my wife and myself. It has a balcony that we sat on and saw a fantastic fireworks show for the 4th of July. There is a firework show every Friday on the beach. We did go to the beach and traveled around Waikiki via the Trolley. The information package that was left in the room was helpful. I would recommend this condo to anyone keeping in mind that it is better suited for a couple. Kids would be OK on the sofa but another couple in the condo would would make it small. I would stay there again. ”

Great Place from Australia on 07/04/2010 said:
“ The aloha apartment was a great place to stay. Any query we had while we were there was responded to quickly. It was a clean, comfortable and relaxing place. The view from the balcony was bliss. The location was great as it was far enough from the hustle and bustle of waikki central, but close enough to have an enjoyable walk. The only down side was parking. Valet was quite expensive, and no alocated spot for this particular apartment. We had to find parking at the beach behind the apartment, which was a little annoying.I would recommend the Ilikai apartments to anyone and I would definately stay there again. ”

Problem-free stay for ten days in wonderful location

Rose and Baz from Sydney, Australia on 05/20/2010 said:
“ Aloha Condos and Rocco were excellent in all dealings. We particularly appreciated the early check-in after our early arrival from Australia. We were impressed with the cleanliness and full stock of linen for our stay. Our previous four stays in Hawaii have been in expensive tiny hotel rooms around Waikiki; staying in a full size apartment and preparing our own meals, without housekeepers arriving when they were free, was a pleasure. We are so pleased we had taken advice from a Canadian couple we had meet in 2008 at Ala Moana Mall who recommended Aloha Condos. Ilakai Hotel is obviously having a full make-over, but the construction work did not interfer with our stay. When the hotel shopping mall reopens and the construction work ends, we would rate the overall experience at five star!! ”

DanandKazumi from USA on 05/17/2010 said:
“ Location: you just cannot beat it. Not in the middle of Waikiki is so much better so that you can have peaceful nights. Parking: you have to use valet service, and $18/day might not be cheap, but boys are always there with smiles and at the end, I really do think it is worth it. I hate driving around looking for parking spots anyway. View: sunsets were so beautiful! Kitchen stuff: everything worked, and plenty of plates, mugs, utensils etc. absolutely no problem. Bed: bed was firm and nice. I wish you had different type of pillows though. They were too soft for us. Bathroom: everything worked: Maybe you might want to add a small size of soap for the sink, and leave a larger one for shower for guests convenience. Keyless entry: first we had some problems locking, but once we figured it out and once we memorized the number, this was the best idea. Why anyone wants to use card key! Imagine losing the room key at the sandy beach!! We stayed for 8 nights and we needed to change sheets during our stay. I noticed you had only twin sheets sets on the selves. Maybe you should change them to Queen size, just in case of guests longer stay like ours. ”

“ We enjoyed our stay at the Ilikai. This is a well-maintained hotel. Our condo was very clean and well-equipped. Views were awe inspiring even for myself as a local resident. A few concerns are the internet wireless did not work and the sofa and bed coverings are very old and dingy. Offsetting these issues was the very quick response from the local agent helping us. Definitely would stay here again even though there was construction going on right underneath us it ended each day at about 4:00 p.m. Mahalo for this affordable ocean view rental. ”

Blairh from Coos Bay, Oregon on 02/10/2010 said:
“ Service getting the condo was very good. No question has to what to do. Location was good despite the new building and noise outside every morning. Good things -- kitchen was well stocked with dishes,etc. the dishwasher a great plus. Lighting generally fine. Not so good things - the bedding was terrible. The plastic sheet on the bed made it feel like you were in the hospital and it made the bed too hot. Bad! Also, one small bar of soap for both handwashing and shower for ten days for two people seemed pretty stingy. Toilet paper for two for ten days was not enough and we bought our own as that provided was of very poor quality. Need to do better with the bathroom stuff. Other than that a great time. Thanks. ”

GR from Los Angeles on 12/09/2009 said:
“ We (2 adults, to children) stayed in Unit 629 and were very happy overall with the accommodations. I would not consider this a high end unit, but it is comfortable and nice at a very good price. We arrived early and Aloha Condos was able to accommodate our early arrival at no extra cost....thanks Rocco! View of Ala Moana boat harbor and sunsets were great. Building across the street still undergoing renovation but, other than a slight eyesore, it did not bother us. This room was very quiet, no noises from adjacent rooms nor from outside. This is not in the heart of Waikiki, but only a 20 minute walk to the International Marketplace. We enjoyed being a bit away from the crowds and the extra walking was good for us. The only difficulty we encountered was with the $250 security deposit authorization on our credit card...seems the funds transferred out of our account but the owner shows no record of receiving funds on their account. Still working with banks to resolve, check your bank statements carefully if you book here. (I believe this is an honest "mistake," Rocco has been very responsive in working with us to resolve this issue. Other than that, we were very satisfied and would recommend this condo ”

Simply fantastic

Cook/Ellenz from Seattle, WA on 12/03/2009 said:
“ Everything about the condo was simply fantastic - from the location to the view of nightly sunsets! The bed was extremely comfortable (I'm not easy to please when it comes to sleeping). Even though I had to make my own bed each day, it made for a much more relaxing vacation as I didn't feel as though I had to hurry out in the morning so the housekeeping staff could come in. The only thing that would have been nice would be a couple more bath towels. Found that I had to launder towels twice while I was there a week. Overall the condo was wonderful, clean, quiet, and well furnished. Even the construction going on across the courtyard was not a problem. We found very nice restaurants within a pleasant walk from the condo each evening - never ate in the same one twice. ”

Nerida Luland from Australia on 11/05/2009 said:
“ We had a wonderful time. The condo was perfect for a relaxing holiday and had everything we needed. There were 3 issues: the shower didn't drain and we were standing in 3 inches of water and we couldn't get the alarm to work. We were also disappointed to find the apartment block opposite (which is shown in the promotional photos/video) was under construction and not very pleasant to look at. Other than that, we thought the keypad was fantastic - no worries about losing keys at the beach. The location was great - very central. ”
Manager response:
“ Aloha--
We are glad you had a relaxing time in our condo. We wish, however, that you had let us know about the problem with the drain. We have a local contact that is available most any time, and a very responsive plumber that would have been able to fix the drain problem very quickly.
The building next door is being worked on, and progressing quickly, the bulk of exterior construction should be completed by the end of the year. ”

“ Condo 629 at the Ilikai Condo and Apartments was home away from home for us. Everything we needed was on hand, it was extremely clean and comfortable and we thoroughly enjoyed relaxing on the lanai, watching the beautiful view and seeing the planes land and take off from the airport in the distance. It was an unforgettable trip for us and we would love to do it again. ”

joeykat from Washington, d.c. on 09/21/2009 said:
“ We really enjoyed our stay. It was a great location to enjoy the beach (only a few minute walk) and waikiki, as well as Ala Moana (beach and shopping center). Could do without a car at this location. Unit was relatively clean, well equipped kitchen; beach chairs and towels provided. A/C unit was a little loud when on the lanai, w/ partial view of marina and partial view of buildings (no view of water when in bed.) But it was nice to hear the Hawaiian music program every Friday evening while sitting on the lanai. Would definitely stay at the Ilikai again--maybe on a different section of the building w/ a more unobstructed view of the water--but would stay at this unit again if something w/ a better view was unavailable. Overall it beats a hotel room and is a great value. Great response from mgt to any questions we had while staying there. ”

Carol from Alabama on 09/01/2009 said:
“ We enjoyed our stay in condo 629 and dealing with Alhoa Condos. I have told a friend who will be visiting Honolulu to contact them and be sure to stay in condo 629. We had just stayed at a condo in Seabrook Island and were so happy to see the little things that go along way such as coffee filters and salt, pepper, foil, and plastic wrap, that the condo in Seabrook did not have. I know this items seen small but when you go to do something such as cook its very nice to have the items at hand. The decor was wonderful and updated, the view fantastic. Go to the restaurant on the 30th floor, go for happy hour and and early bird dinner (a lot less expensive) the view is breathtaking!! One thing I hope the owners might add would be beach chairs, umbrella, and a small ice chest to use on the beach. Also a book with information such as where the grocery stores are and directions on how to get to them. I do hope we can return again. A special thanks to Cat who helped us out so much ”

“ This condo is located at the end of Waikiki Beach and overlooks the marina. We were able to walk the beach and walk to the downtown area. Our room was large, clean, had a kitchen and a fantastic view of the mariana and ocean from the balcony. We watched ships come in and out of the port. It was very quiet and the staff helpful with any questions we had. We would definately go back if the opportunity is available. ”

“ I wanted a quieter time in Waikiki this year so opted for the Ilikai. Unit 629 was a very nice, clean, compact studio apartment with keyless entry. I loved this because I could leave everything behind and not worry about anyone (maids, etc.) coming in while I was away. Great pool, lagoon and beach moments away. Complete refrig, stove, microwave, etc. There is a remodel going on across the way but it did not bother me--nor did I have others in those rooms facing me. I would definitely stay in this unit again. ”

Good rental
Overall rating:
Kevin G from San Diego on 04/16/2009 said:
“ Rental was clean and well taken care of. Cozy bed with nice sunset facing view, although a few buildings naturally get in the way. Located close to Aloha towers and chinatown. Very quite in the building and very private - no tourists mad dashing for the elevators. Owners are very attentive to your needs and respond quickly to your requests and questions. Just be aware of a few minor caveats: 1. Parking is not fun - must weave around to the 7th floor to get parking. If you don't make arrangements with owner to get a hand tag parking is very expensive. Hand tag parking only accepts cash so be prepared to shell out. Persoanlly owner should have a space in the garage and let you use it. Additionally, getting into the parking garage is a pain, so many one way streets, if you don't come straight down Bishop you are gonna be frustrated. Street noise is a problem in the morning. Bedroom needs real curtains, blinds don't keep the sun out so it is a great alarm clock in the morning. Although there is a Long's drug at the base of the building, it and most other businesses close early since you are downtown so plan ahead. The kitchen in the condo is small and slightly sparse, just a small cooktop, a microwave and a small toaster oven, but it was ok for light cooking. ONe other warning, this unit cannot really sleep 4 in my opinion. Thehre is one queen bed in the bedroom and a small swivel couch in the living room/kitchen - can't see how one person- let alone 2 could sleep in it. Fair price for what you get though and being downtown especially for business was a plus. ”

“ The condo was just as the photos show, a very lovely place. It was clean and pleasant. There was construction going on and it was pretty loud one day. One of the pools was not available and a couple of restaurants weren't available. Which is too bad, we would have enjoyed having a cocktail lounge on site. Hopefully the remodeling has been completed. ”
Great Management

Lucy Liu from Lake Oswego, Oregon on 04/16/2009 said:
“ The property is clean and comfortable. It has great view too, but what really touched me was the flexibility of the management. When we stayed there, my Mom was a little under the weather, so I called the manager the morning of the last day of our stay to see if we can stay a little bit longer that day since our flight home was around 11pm. Luckily there was no renter the next day. He quickly arranged the cleaning person to come later on and allowed us to stay until night, so that my Mom had some good rest. We only paid $50 for this late notice request. I really appreciate that. ”

Corrigalls from Campbell River, BC, Canada on 04/05/2009 said:
“ Great property, especially our actual condo. Very clean. Very comfortable. The only thing we missed is being in the heart of Waikiki. We bought a bus pass but sometimes I felt like we wasted time waiting for buses instead of being exactly where we wanted to be. Every night we headed for the night shopping and it felt a ways away. For the price and cleanliness and feeling like we had a home away from home, the Ilikai and this specific condo was superb. ”

“ We found Aloha Condo Rentals to be very businesslike and accomodating. We were coming off a cruise and were able to get in a few hours early and thus did not have to sit around waiting. Rocco answered all of our questions promptly. The unit was a great place to stay. It is well equipped and the view was spectacular. The futon in the living area is, however, quite a poor excuse for a couch. The Ilikai is in a great location and we were able to walk the the shopping centre as well as downtown Waikiki. If we were returning to Hawaii next year,we would not hesitate to deal with Aloha Condos and would love to stay in this unit again. ”

Jasper from Dallas, TX on 01/23/2010 said:
“ We had a wonderful stay at the Ilikai 1424 for just over two-weeks. The condo was well equipped to meet our needs with a great location and a beautiful view. The updates to the unit are modern and make the space very pleasant. We have a 2-year old son. The unit was fine for us, but the balcony railings made us nervous. Unlike many newer balconies that are designed without cross-bars, the balconies at the Ilikai can be climbed on by an active toddler. The swimming pool at the Ilikai is adequate, but the lagoon at the Hilton Hawaiian Village is just a few steps away and is wonderful. Rocco was attentive to our needs and incredibly responsive when we had questions. We would definitely stay there again. ”

It does need to supply more big trash bags and an extra roll of paper towel. Other than that, it is an awesome place to stay for a family of four. Also the apartment is quiet and peaceful. ”

“ Employees from our company stay at the Ilikai when in Hawaii. Condo 1424 is modern bright and great for a single/couple, a bit tight for a family. The views of the ocean from the bed are beautiful and a nice way to start each day. The building is getting old and tired but the staff are helpful. There is only valet parking under the building which is great if you don't mind paying for it ($18/day). The Hilton complex next door provides plenty of shopping and dining facilities and a free view of the Luau Sunday thru Thursdays. There is also fireworks every friday night. ”

“ We just spent an amazing week in Condo 1424 at the Ilikai. The Ilikai is a great location, not right in the noise of Waikiki central but close enough to walk, catch The Bus or a cab and be there in minutes. A short walk to Ala Moana shopping centre and right on the bus stops. The condo has a gorgeous view of the Hilton lagoon and the ocean, It is only a very short walk to the beach and all it has to offer. The condo was nicely appointed,decorated and well equipped. The Ilikai is currently undergoing significant renovation to it's main pool and one condo block, this is well screened off and most of the courtyard is still accessible , lit up, gardens well kept. The Friday night activities and BBQ that precede the fireworks is well worth a look. We would definitely rent this condo again. Cheers ”

“ What a great condo, very clean, close to the beach, shopping and restaurants. It was well equipped with a beautiful view of the ocean. I enjoyed my stay and I would highly recommend it. I would stay there again. Just make sure that you get a hold of Rocco Consulting before you arrive. We did not have the code for the room when we arrived nor a phone number in our confirmation email from Rocco Consulting. They did not follow up with us or provide a code for the room. Thank goodness that the hotel was able to assist in locating Rocco Consulting to obtain the code. Once we got in the condo, everything was fabulous! :) ”

Easy access to the store across the street for simple groceries - we did a lot of lunches and quick dinners in our room since we had a 2 and 6 year old with us. Breakfast buffet was perfect for filling our bellies before heading out for the pool/beach. Easy check in and check out and we had no problems with the condo while we were staying there. Overall, it was a great experience. Our only challenges came from traveling with a very spirited 2 year old boy. ”

“ The Ilikai is a great place to stay in Waikiki, very quiet. A few steps to the beach, restaurants & shopping, Ala Moana Shopping Centre is only 3 blocks away. Buses & trolleys are at your front door & there is a great concierge in the hotel for tour bookings. Unit 1512 had everything we wanted. The good thing was we had a choice of eating in or dining out. The laundry was very handy across the corridor. The fireworks on Friday night were special from the balcony as was the laui from the Hilton every other night. We booked an extra night after our original booking without any problems. Thanks for a very comfortable stay. I will have no hesitation in recommending this condo to all my friends & family. ”

Ilikai 1512 - Very nice condo
Overall rating:
jma2010 from Minnesota on 03/17/2010 said:
“ The condo was as nice and in order as described, nice furniture and upgrades. Very good ocean view. I enjoyed my stay. Every morning went down to the beach for a walk (there's a boardwalk along the way.) Location of the Ilikai is great, right on the city bus line, plus stores are across the street and the Aloha Shopping Center is within walking distance. Parks nearby, too. Hotel lobby was in good condition. Five elevators and no problems. The only drawback is the unit is located near the elevators and the mechanical room. If you are noise sensitive, that could be an issue. The fan speeds drop way down later in the night and then everything becomes very quiet. I slept with the lanai door open and that helped with other "white noise" and all went well after that. Since you're on the 15th floor, it should be safe to leave the lanai door open until it gets more quiet. (My brother and sister-in-law stayed in another unit and stopped by. They are not noise sensitive and could not hear the fans!) Otherwise, the unit was wonderful and it was very convenient to be close to the elevators and laundry room in the hotel. Very private, too. ”

“ 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. ”

“ 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! ”

“ 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. ”

“ 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. ”

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. ”

“ 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. ”

It has a fabulous view of the lagoon and ocean, is right next door to the beautiful Hilton Village, is across the street from 3 well-known restaurants, is 2 blocks from the biggest outdoor shopping mall, and 3 blocks from a large movie theater, and bus service is right in front of the hotel. The condo is clean, has a nice, well equipped kitchen, 4 bar stools, couch, chair, and flat-screen TV. The screen between the bedroom and living area is very nice and convenient. It has all the necessities of home. It was nice and easy to have a "code" for the door rather than having to use a card all the time. The only negative thing I could say was that maybe the TV could have had more channels than the basic ones, but we are used to 200 at home! The Ilikai is also a bus ride away from downtown Wakiki where there are great restaurants, hotels, great shops, and an international market. What a WONDERFUL place this is to forget your troubles and enjoy life to the fullest! ”

The wall of windows allow for great people watching and your view of the ocean is great. We saw the Hilton luau each night with ease and were close enough to hear the music and the story line! The owners provide everything you could possibly want or need during stay in the condo. The building itself is beautiful and i never felt unsafe once. The staff is always visible and making improvements. There is also security in the lobby if needed. The location is great and you can walk in either direction out the front door and find reasonable food, entertainment, and necessities. I would recommend that you find a trolley schedule/guide upon arrival as they pass by the hotel every 10 minutes and can make getting to other locations much more fun and interesting as well as allowing for a unique tour experience! Pack your sunscreen and expect the rest to be handled in 1530! WE WILL BE BACK!!!!!!!!!! ”

The fold-out bed was uncomfortable and lumpy, but I understand a new egg-crate mattress has been ordered. The kitchen works good and there is a good lanai. If it was mine, I would get rid of some of the extra pillows and flowers, etc. It is small enough that they just get in the way. Although there is an assortment of beachchair type things, they are all heavy and bulky enough to discourage anyone from taking them to the beach a second time. However, these are very minor annoyances and I would definitely stay there again. ”

“ 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! ”

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. ”

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. ”

“ 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. ”

“ 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. ”

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. ”

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. ”

“ 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. ”

“ 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! ”

“ 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. ”

“ 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 ”

“ 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,

“ 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. ”

“ For those of you that don't know, the Ilikai has condos (owned by various owners and companies) and hotel rooms (run separetely from the condos). With 2 trips to Oahu this year, one of with I extended twice, I've had the opportunity to stay in this condo, a condo owned by a different owner in the Ilikai, and 2 hotel rooms in the Ilikai. I feel this gives me a unique perspective on this condo. I was completely satisfied with my stay in this condo. Now, my previous stay was in a different condo, which had nicer furnishings and an ocean/marina view. However, that comes with a price: roughly 50% higher cost, and that's one of the cheaper 'other' condos. You'll have to determine for yourself if that's worth the price difference; for me, it's not. The condo is nice and clean, and was mainly a home base for me; and I'd spend almost all my waking hours out experiencing Hawaii, not hanging out in my condo. Communication with the owner all went smoothly. There are a lot of amenities; iron & ironing board, beach towels, a small cooler, and more. I also liked how the TV system has a DVR; it allowed me to record a show I really wanted to watch, but at a time I knew I'd be out. NOTE - The owner gave me some info on parking, but due to recent changes, it's out of date. The previously cheap lots behind the Ilikai, near the Marina, just changing their costs, to $1 per hour, PREPAID. They monitor them, and they'll tow your car if it's still there and your time expires; hard to always predict ahead of time exactly when you'll leave. Also, the Ilikai recently reduced their valet parking from $25 to $18, with in-and-out privileges. ”

“ We recently returned from our first trip to Hawaii, a long trip from Eastern Canada and somewhere we have wanted to visit for some time. For the first 3 days we stayed in 1721 and were very happy with the location and the condo. There is nothing the owners haven't thought of and provided for the benefit of those staying there. A very clean place suitable for 2 [ the pullout would be ok for children but it would be a little tight]. We loved the king size bed, the bathroom ,the kitchen and the large screen TV. The view from the lanai is of the city and helped us get oriented. It is also the cooler/shaded side of the building, not a bad thing when it is hot. The air conditioner in the condo is well positioned[ not too near the bed]. The cleaning service and local contact was super. We would definitely stay here again. ”

The condo was clean and lovely, and provided a peaceful respite at the end of each busy day. The unit is very soundproof - when you open the sliding glass door to the balcony you hear all the noise that is blocked out. Everything I needed was provided - soaps, dishes, beach items, extra towels and linens, etc. I hope to return to Hawaii again some day, and would happily stay in Unit 1721 again.

“ My husband and I took a short 3-day break in Honolulu and found this condo to have all the accommodations needed to feel like home. In such an expensive city, it was great to have a full kitchen to prepare our meals. The bed was extremely comfortable and the bathroom was fully equipped. We loved the location, surrounded by parks and with the shopping center nearby. We are NOT beach people so we definitely enjoyed the satellite HDTV, appreciated having internet service and the balcony was a great place to read the paper, relax and take in the city surroundings (although if you are looking for sunset views over the water, choose another condo.) The only things that we did not like is the couch, which we found to be rather uncomfortable and the somewhat musty odor. While the Ilikai is obviously going through some tough times (most of the storefronts and restaurants are closed) I was glad to see that their business center offered free airline check-in so we could print our boarding passes in advance. If we ever return to Hawaii, this is the only way we would go. ”

In fact, The Ilikai is closest to one of Honolulu's best beaches -- Ala Moana Beach Park, where all the locals go! It's much nicer than Waikiki's beaches which are too crowded. Our condo unit was recently remodeled, beautifully furnished, and fully equipped with everything we needed. Aloha Condos provided excellent service. We stayed for a month! ”

We have stayed in Waikiki 3 time before and were a little worried about the location but it was by far the best location we stayed at. Ala Moana was a short 5 minute walk away and the lagoon was the perfect place to take a 5 month old baby swimming in, not to mention the free parking (although for how long I'm not sure) that was on offer in the public parking lot near the lagoon. The condo was beautifully clean and VERY well-equipped, it had copious utensils and plenty of clean linen. I have already recommend Aloha Condos to several friends and one of them has already booked a stay. Your website is going from strength to strength (we used it last year for a stay at Napili Bay). It is convenient and user-friendly (especially for international visitors who find it hard to ring internationally with the time difference)I will definitely use your service a third time and know it will remain prompt, efficient and represent excellent value for money.

Loved it!! I even made scones for breakfast...good thing you had cookie sheets available. I would have preferred a bit more storage space (a dresser?) and hooks in the bathroom but for the 3 nights, storage wasn't a problem. I kept the clothes in the suitcases. It might be more of an issue if there were more than 2 people staying in the unit. The view was amazing. We much prefer this location over the busy/noisy Waikiki area. We stayed at a hotel "in the action" the week prior but much preferred the condo. location - enjoyed the quiet beach side by the Hilton, loved going for a 15min walk to the restaurants, shops of Waikiki but then coming home to quiet. Parking was a great deal as well! And, thank you for the internet service; it was extremely valuable to us. I have already recommended this condo.to others!

The open floor plan made the unit actually seem larger. The bathroom was nice and much larger than we anticipated. The view from this condo is awesome anytime of the day. In the mornings we could see the mist from the mountains, and the rainbows over the ocean. Many times we saw a number of sailboats. We watched the sun set and the enjoyed the nightly conk shell ceremony and lighting of the torches. The lights at night, from the mountains and the city were like twinkling candles. From the distance we could see flights coming and going from Honolulu airport. The location of this condo is another inviting feature. Many activities are within walking distance, the bus and trolley are also easily accessed. The beach is right behind the building and is easily accessed by the walkway. We enjoyed our early morning walks down the beach, and again at night to select a different beach front restaurant. The owner of this condo was excellent to work with. We hope to return one day!

“ We spent a week in Waikiki and loved it. This was the very first time we stayed in a vacation rental. The owner was very accommodating and replied back to our questions very quickly. Prior to arrival we were very nervous of what the rental would be like. We did not know what to expect. When we arrived, the condo was exceptionally clean and larger than expected. The furnishings were all new and the kitchen was supplied with all we needed. It was nicely remodeled and equivalent to a four star hotel room. The view was absolutely gorgeous. We were just mesmerized by the view. The convenience of the keyless lock was terrific. The location was good, next to the Hilton and the lagoon. We parked behind the hotel at the marina with in and out privileges and saved $15 a day. The only down side of staying in a condo vs. a hotel is it doesn?t have maid service. You do not receive a fresh set of towels everyday nor does someone come to vacuum or clean up. And that?s the last thing you want to do on vacation is clean up everyday. But for the price of the condo rental we had to compromise. There is no way we could have found a four star hotel room with a fully stocked kitchen and a beautiful view for the price. We definitely recommend this condo and would stay there again. ”

“ The room and location were nice. This is the first time I stayed in a Condo and I enjoyed the experience. I liked not worrying about when housekeeping needed to get in to the room. I enjoyed having the kitchen especially for breakfast. The room could use some updates (blinds/curtains worn) and the bathroom needed a vent. The only real problem we had is one late afternoon out keys didn't work. I called Aloha Mangement and they were extremely helpful and sent security to let us in the room. Unfortunately, security was not helpful. He told me I had to go to the security office to get the key reset. He gave very vague instructions how to find the security office and left. It was at the back of part of the parking garage - and involved going down multiple hallways that were not marked. I would have been very uncomfortable walking in that area if it would have been night. Since it is difficult to find I would have preferred if security would have escorted me to the correct location. ”

Within walking distance there is a nearby mall with an enormous grocery, tons of shopping, restaurants - and most importantly the beach. It's easy to access from the airport with the shuttle bus (and it was the first drop off, last pick up, so we didn't spend much time commuting). When we arrived there were notes from the Aloha Condos, along with a tote bag (great for groceries and souvenirs!), and travel pamphlets about what was going on. The apartment itself was perfect and really felt like we were coming home at the end of the day. Not only that, it was outfitted with a great kitchen area, so we could purchase food and beverages rather than eating every meal out. Laundry was right down the hall and the TV and internet were simple luxuries we appreciated. Since we have returned from our trip we have told many friends about the apartment and will undoubtedly look for this or a similar property when we return back to Hawaii. Thank you for making Hawaii even more attractive for those traveling on a budget! ”

Manager response:
“ The doors to our condos are always locked, for safety, and the doors at the Ilikai Hotel lock automatically for safety. Instructions on how to get to and into your condo are mailed to you when your final payment is made.

In all of our correspondence we have contact information for our reservationist and/or owner, and also our local contact for that condo.
As guests of a private apartment you are not guests of the Hotel.
Aloha Condos offers vacation rentals for our guests and there is no daily touch-up cleaning although it can be arranged ahead of time for an extra fee. The cleaning fee pays for the cleaning to be done after you leave to prepare the condo for the next guest. Included in that fee we make sure you have plenty of bedding, towels, and paper products (paper towels, toiler paper). We also have soaps, shampoo, conditioner and lotion. ”

The view was okay; however, we loved sitting out on the balcony feeling the wonderful breeze in the morinings as well as in the evenings. We thought the furniture could have been modern;however it was doable. Although there's no place like home the condo was quaint and we made it our own. Our contact had everything we needed right at our fingertips. I do recommend that you bring extra towels even though our contact was more than willing to accomodate our request. T Jackson Chicago ”

“ I took my 6 year old for a Hawaiian vacation in October and we stayed at the Ilikai in Waikiki. Suite 2021 had a huge king size bed and a lanai overlooking downtown, which was cheaper than overlooking the beach but with massive construction at the hotel next door combined with the cars on Ala Moana Blvd we found it to be quite noisy. The room itself was clean and well stocked, with beach towels and a few beach toys and a good kitchen with everything you'd need to cook up some meals. It is a short walk to the Ala Moana shopping centre with a great food court and of course lots of shopping. Walking out the rear of the hotel you first come to a wonderful lagoon with calm waters and a nice clean beach. From there you are on Waikiki beach and have access to all the surfing and shopping within a few minutes walk. I would definately recommend a stay at this hotel! ”

“ THE CONDO WAS BEAUTIFUL, COMPLETELY REMODELLED INCLUDING NEW APPLIANCES AND WAS ABSOLUTELY SPOTLESS. WE REALLY ENJOYED OUR STAY AND WOULD REQUEST THIS UNIT AGAIN. WE HAVE BEEN COMING TO THE ILIKAI FOR OVER 25YEARS, NEEDLESS TO SAY THIS IS OUR FAVOURITE VACATION SPOT. ”

“ Friends of ours stay at the Ilikai Hotel every year! We love this Hotel. I found Rocco to be very accomodating. The room was wonderful, we had a great view and although we did have an air conditioner we preferred the breeze that swept through our apartment. We love that the beach is just a few steps from the hotel and that the mall and the international market is just a short walk, it's very convenient and very comfortable. We had only one problem when we stayed there an that was that the oven didn't work, but I'm sure they will have that taken care of ASAP. Would most definitely recommend this condo as well as Aloha Condos!!!! ”
