Great location

Don and Deanna from Stoney Creek, Ontario, Canada on 04/06/2012 said:

“ The management company were very quick to react to our complaint about the herd of elephants living in the unit above us. The apt. was clean, well equipped, a good comfortable bed, and in a great location. The front row seats for the friday night fireworks display was spectacular. The only negative was that the living room furniture is very dated, the same type of uncomfortable Hawaiian rattan furniture used in the Ilikai 25 years ago. ”

“ All the information that we needed was provided to us via e-mail. The condo was perfect for the 3 of us. The location was great, very short walk to the beach, walking distance to the main strip and to a large shopping mall. Easy access to the bus. We would definitely rent this place again. ”

“ This place was great! It was easy to book online and pay, easy to check in (a keycode on the door so you didn't have to wait on anybody!) and very well put together. The view was awesome and we loved the location, it was a short walk to the ala Moana and Waikiki. The condo had everything we needed, bath and beach towels, kitchen items. The furniture and fixtures were outdated, but for the price it was fine. ”

Comfortable Stay

Smurto from Bristol, UK on 11/02/2011 said:

“ We stayed in apartment 1530 with our 8 month old baby on our first visit to Oahu. The apartment was a good size for the 3 of us, although we had to be very quiet when the baby was asleep and we were still awake. Overall the apartment was very quiet, there was no noise from neighbouring apartments and it was safe for our little one. Facilities were good, a big fridge, big bed, cooker, TV and air con. There was only a shower, no bath, which led to us bathing the baby in the washing up bowl, but it was big enough to do that. Great location right next to a bus stop, the start of the beach and there were supermarkets within easy walking distance. I would recommend this apartment. ”

Happy Alaskan from Anchorage, Alaska on 08/14/2011 said:

“ Sue was great to work with, from the moment I requested information about the condo well after I left. Her responses to my questions were extremely timely and informative. I was skeptical at first, but had no troubles with the transaction. When I arrived at the Ilikai I was greeted by friendly staff. The condo was very clean and spacious. Everything I needed was right in the room and easy to find. The location was superb, close enough to the main Waikiki strip to make it easy to get to, yet not so close that I could not relax and enjoy some peace and quiet. The morning view was fantastic and the beach was a mere few minute walk away. An easy walk to the mall, plenty of places nearby to eat (Red Lobster, Kobe Steak House, and Buffalo Wild-wings were my favorites). The only thing that could have made it better would be to convert the room across the hall to an observation room so you could view the sunset! Excellent view of the fireworks across the lagoon on Friday night! I would highly recommend this condo to anyone who is considering it! ”

Well equipped condo in excellent location

Jenni Barnett from Sydney, Australia on 08/11/2011 said:

“ The condo is well looked after and very clean. We loved the location - less than 10 minutes walk to ala Moana Shopping Centre and the main Waikiki strip/restaurants. Trolley and bus stops right outside the door. Great pool for the kids and the lagoon and beach are very close by. Lots of fun toys for them to take to the beach. King bed extremely comfortable. Ample storage. Kitchen well equipped. Great to have use of wireless internet and free local calls. We were treated to a hula show on the roof of the hotel next door almost everynight as well which was great! The only challenge for us was that our children are young and easily woken so once they were in bed we needed to be very quiet and minimise the lighting as there was only a thin sliding door between the bedroom and the rest of the apartment. The apartment isn't newly renovated but this doesn't matter. It is light and bright and has everything you need. Nice view of the water off to the right. A great way to wake up each day! Great to have the kitchen facilities particularly with children. Our preferred grocery shop was The Pantry about 10 mins walk away. Fresh food and salads and some brands from home. We also tried Foodland (a small Woolies or IGa in Oz) but didn't think it was as good. Don Quiyote is also meant to be great but we didn't manage to get there. We would stay in the apartment again if it was the two of us. A great affordable option with all the added features you don't get in a hotel room. Lastly the owners were lovely and great to deal with - they responded to questions very quickly and provided lots of good advice. Thank you Sue and Terry for a great holiday! We loved it. ”

A couple from Lafayette, CA from Lafayette, CA on 05/16/2011 said:

“ We enjoyed this well-furnished condo. Minor problems were: no stopper in bathroom sink, exterior sliding doors don't lock, carpet had stains near dining table, and too much owner gear in closet. ”

Manager response:

“ Thank you for your review. We are so glad that you enjoyed our condo and that you wrote in the extended review, "Absolutely, I would recommend this accommodation to my best friend!". We hope that we will be able to provide your accommodations for your next trip to Hawaii. We are sorry that you had some minor problems. We were not aware that the bathroom sink stopper was missing. We will get a new one. The exterior sliding door does lock but it is a bit tricky. Thank you for pointing that out. We will put "locking" instructions on the door. We are sorry that you found a stain on the carpet. We have our carpets cleaned regularly and additionally whenever there is an obvious spot after a guest departs. Since check out time is 11:00am and check in is 3:00pm. our housekeepers only have 4 hours to get the room ready for the next guest when we have back to back reservations. If we need the carpets cleaned we need to have the room vacant so that we can get the carpet cleaners in. There were 3 back to back rentals in a row before your arrival and three after you. We will be having the carpets cleaned again as soon as we can do it without disturbing our guests. The items in the closet are for the convenience and use of our guests. They are not our personal gear. <br /> Owner, Ilikai 1530 ”

“ After a day long of travel we reached the 15th floor with our secrect code to get in. (we were 15 minutes early) When we heard the lock click and open it was relief heaven. We proceeded into the most perfect condo we could imagine. Everything and anything was ther for us. Mask, and snorkel, beach chairs, boogie boards, you name it. The view was and is incredilble. The agnews, who you deal with are superb. I would recommend them without hestitation. Have no fear having the privledge of renting their condo. ”

Can't wait to return!

Frequent traveler from Denver on 10/02/2010 said:

“ Ilikai Condo 1530 was the perfect "home away from home." The convenient location, complete beach supplies, and comfortable setup made every day a delightful experience. The balcony with it's view of the water, sunsets, Fri night fireworks, and even the hula shows next door were the icing on the cake. With aBC stores close in both directions and a grocery store within a few blocks, all necessities were easily handled. I'd recommend the bus pass (available at the aBC store) for ease of transit around Honolulu without needing to pay extra for parking. The keyless entry and check-in/out procedures could not have been easier, and the pre-trip contact with the owners thoughtful. I absolutely plan to return again! ”

the vacationer from Beaumont, ca on 08/03/2010 said:

“ I would stay there again. The condo was a bit small for more than 2 people, there is not allot of storage or drawers to put clothes in. The closet was average with a few shelfs. the queen size bed was OK (not to hard or soft). Kitchen and living room were tight but very nice and well furnished. They even had snorkels, body boards,beach chairs and a portable cooler for the beach. Very clean and well maintained. Sliding doors separate the living from the bedroom for privacy, very large balcony. ”

VC in NC from Winston Salem NC on 07/24/2010 said:

“ Very comfortable room for family of 3. Had everything we need and then some. Special plus with the beach chairs. The beach access was a hike to get around the lagoon but we considered the walk as bonus exercise. Would love to have had access privileges to the fitness room but that was restricted to hotel guests only. For the price, the view, and short walk to the beach, this place was hands-down best deal in Waikiki. ”

“ We enjoyed the accomodation at the aloha condos, great location, close to Ala Moana shopping centre. Walking distance to the centre of Wakiki and the beach plus the lagoon, also great balcony to see the hula show at the Hilton vacations condos?? Car rentals 150 mtrs up the road, everything including the ABC shops all within walking distance. Condo was well appointed, everything we needed was there, no complaints, we had a great time. We enjoyed the whole experience of visiting Hawaii.. Alicja Rose ( Australia) ”

Makena from Seattle, Washington on 05/08/2010 said:

“ We just stayed for 2 weeks in beautiful Wakiki in Room 1530 at the Ilikai Hotel. We've been coming there for the past 6 years but this is the first time we've stayed in Room 1530. 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! ”

Jeanne from Seattle, WA on 05/07/2010 said:

“ This is a very convenient location and a very clean and comfortable apartment. Easy walking distance to everything, and the beach, too, of course. The hotel pool was nice. The only drawback for me was the one time $125 cleaning/service fee, since I only stayed for 3 days.... If you're staying for longer periods of time, then it wouldn't be much of an impact to the daily rate. Overall, great place to stay. The owners of this unit are extremely nice. Loved my vacation! ”

The Wynders from Cardston,Alberta Canada on 04/28/2010 said:

“ My family and I stayed in 1530 for 10 nights, and it was great. We never had a problem. The room was very comfortable and had everything we needed and more. Boogie boards, beach chairs,mats,and a great view. The location was good, a 5 min walk to the beach, which was not too busy. About a 15-20 min walk to main waikiki. Close to some restaraunts and shopping. and of course the ABC store. Just being in Hawaii was the best and to have no problems made our stay that much relaxing. The contacts called us to make sure everything was OK since we never contacted them. Sue, the owner was very good to me before our trip, I called her a few times and she was great to talk with and very helpful. We would stay here again for sure. So i guess we will,we will be back.....Thank you so much The Wynders ”

“ We really enjoyed our stay in this condo. Everything seemed very clean. The kitchen was well stocked,had everything we needed,and the view from the balcony was beautiful. The only thing we had an issue with was the sofa sleeper. We just had a tough time getting it to fold back up. Other than that everything was great. We used the valet parking at the hotel and were charged $18 a day. ”

tinker from texas on 03/25/2010 said:

“ The unit is so clean-i wore white socks around and they STAYED white!! I can't find a hotel room where that happens. We had the feeling of our own little secret get a way nook. 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!!!!!!!!!! ”

good place to stay

riverray from Oregon on 02/18/2010 said:

“ We stayed in this condo for 8 days and I would definitely recommend it. It is small, but great for 2 people or possibly a third. I wouldn't put 2 couples in it. 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. ”

“ This is such a conveient condo to the Waikiki area without being in the crowd. The unit was clean and well furnished but could use some updating especially in the bathroom. The view from the balcony was beautiful. Parking was an extra $18 per day but that is not bad for the area. Very easy walk to the beach and ala moana shopping center. ”

“ We loved the unit. Best value on the beach. Right next to the Hilton Hawaiian Village. Can watch the luau's from the balcony. Building was older, but nice, clean and functional. We hope to go again. The .25/hour parking lot in back worked great. ”
