A lovely beach view condo only steps from Waikiki Beach. You are truly close to great Honolulu activities without feeling like you are in a crowd. A short walk across the Ala Wai Canal for quick access to Ala Moana Beach Park and Shopping Center.
- Modern - fully remodeled in 2006
- Great view of Waikiki Beach & Fireworks
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 ...

“ My family and I liked this place because of its cleanliness and cozy environment. Its location also is wonderful: walking distance to the beach, it is 1 mile to the Waikiki beach, it is by the Hilton hotel where you can see the fireworks on Fridays very closely, easy access to other places and highways. The condo 1540 has secure Internet access. The kitchen has everything. It also has beach chairs and a few beach toys which may kids liked a lot... Everything was great for our stay. Thank you. ”

My only concern is that the vcr / video machine was not working and had asked our contact person if she knew how to operate or fix it and unfortunately was not able to assist. We really did not miss it; however, it would have come in handy for the kids to unwind and get cozy before bedtime. Nevertheless, we had a great time and would love to visit again. Thank you! ”

Will definitely recommend and if we're ever lucky enough to come again will stay here! ”

“ Was exactly as advertised. Booking and billing as promised. Kitchen especially well equipped and comfortable king bed. Large lanai with table and chairs. The outdoor patio on the hotel ground floor overlooking the marina and sunset torchlighting is especially nice. Didn't use the pool as we prefer the beach in front of the Hilton. Can sleep 4 but would be cramped with all adults. Minor problem with icemaker which was fixed same day. Much quieter than the other end of Waikiki. ”

“ We loved everything about the condo! It was very spacious, immaculately clean and fully equipped, but the view from the lanai was the best! We appreciated your sharing your beach chairs and towels with us. Fireworks over the beach the night we arrived were easily seen from the lanai. Our only regret was that we couldn't stay longer! Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us. ”

Rick from Castle Rock, CO on 10/26/2011 said:
“ We found everything really great, the view is outstanding and eveything in the condo is very nice. We where able to watch the fire works from the Hilton from on the Lanai. We used the kitchen everyday for at least one meal which made it very economical. The condo was nice and clean and we had everything we needed. It was a plus that there where bugey boards for us to use in the ocean. The only draw back was the need to ungrade the bathroom towels, its not that they where not clean, but many had stains that obviously did not come out and they really where not very soft anymore. Besides that we loved the condo and have every intention of renting it again for our next trip. ”

“ We recently stayed at 1540 - this place is fantastic! Very nice decor, clean and comfortable. The kitchen has everything you need to cook. We had a 1 year old baby with us and it was so convenient to be able to use blender to make fresh fruit purees for her. There are beach chairs, mats, beach towels, coolers, boogie boards and even sand toys for kids. The bed and couch were very comfy, lots of pillows. The bathroom was clean and there were plenty of towels to use. Ladies, there is a hair dryer, so no need to bring one! The view is amazing, you can see the lagoon and the ocean from your bed. They have a big table on the lanai with 4 chairs - nice for morning coffees. It's like living the dream in the paradise. Thanks to Owners for sharing their beautiful place with us. ”

susmertravel from Castro Valley, CA on 09/30/2011 said:
“ The Ilikai is an older property in a great location between the yacht harbor and the Hawaiian Village. The condo is well stocked and very comfortable. It has a full newly remodeled kitchen, updated bath and comforatble king bed. There are indoor and outdoor eating areas and a comfortable sofa in front of a flat screen tv. The best part about the unit is the view of the ocean and the lagoon (wow) and that it has afternoon shade on the unit which was great. The unit is located near the end of the wing so it has little street noise. The only negatives are that the aC is the older kind and was fairly noisy and the unit could have used a ceiling fan. The aC does not blow directly on the bed so sleeping with it on was not uncomfortable. Great value and location. ”

“ A fabulous time was had by my family! We never needed to contact Hans or Kat, we were given all the information we needed before we arrived. The condo was just as it was represented. Quite nice. My daughter slept on the sofa bed, she added the foam padding from the closet and slept well. The view was so nice, we watched the surfers every morning while having coffee on the lanai. We had breakfast in the condo every day. The location is at the beginning of Waikiki. For us, the location was better than the middle of Waikiki. The beach is larger and less crowded -- no umbrellas in the way either! We did go to the main area of Waikiki for our daughter to surf, better for new surfers. We had a rental car and parked in valet at the Ilikai, the easiest thing to do. It was $25 per day, in and out as you please. Really, quite a deal when you think of how much money you save over a hotel in the middle of Waikiki! I used to live on Oahu so we had to drive all over the island so I could reminisce, such a beautiful place!! We didn't see much of the luau at the Hilton, not impressed, really, a luau on a roof! Go to the Polynesian Cultural Center for a great show. Didn't watch their luau either, was busy eating, but, the show afterward is really good. Wonderful place to stay. ”

“ 3 adults 1 toddler and unit 1540 was the ideal spot for our Hawaiian vacation. The location, the unit, the hotel, the view, and the nice extras were all part of a formula for a vacation in which each day was the best day ever. The kitchen was nicely supplied, there were plenty of towels for showers, the extra blankets and plentiful supply of pillows made a very nice pallet for the toddler. We enjoyed our breakfast on the balcony and loved the up close view of the Friday fireworks. The hotel gym, shops, general store, and restaurants were a convenient touch and came in handy. The hotel is within walking distance of a nice supermarket, bus stops, package stores,restaurants, Ala Moana mall, and ala Moana park (which became one of our favorite spots to visit). The only suggestions I would make is to add plexi-glass to the railings of the balcony to make it a bit more child friendly and to rearrange the furniture to allow the air con to run more efficiently. Nonetheless, I will recommend unit 1540 to anyone I know that may be heading to the Island. Thank you for an incredible memory. ”

“ What can I say about this condo... Everything was perfect. Everything when smoothly from booking to the end when unfortunately we had to go home. The condo was our home away from home. The condo was clean, beautifully decorated, had all the amenities one would need. The view from the lanai was spectacular and is the best place to watch the fireworks on Friday nights. I got many wonderful pictures / memories from that lanai. My wife loves to shop,so the proximity to the ala Moana Shopping Center was very advantageous. Many fine restaurants within walking distance like the Chart House. Having the full kitchen was great. We cooked and ate most of our breakfasts in the condo. Slipping coffee and eating breakfast on the lanai was the thing to do. We were able to purchase (at great prices) fresh fruits, breads, cookies, loaves, quiche, salads, etc twice a week right down in the courtyard area of the Ilikai. What they did not have the aBC Superette (carries more than a regular aBC store)is just down the block and across the street. I can not say anything bad about the condo. It not only met our expectations, but it exceeded them. When we go back, we will definitely be booking this condo again. ”

The apartment is a little cramped with the fold out bed set up but other than that, it was ideal for us and is comfortably furnished with plenty of pillows and blankets etc. It was a nice touch having towels for the beach and pool as well. We would definitely stay here again if in the locale. ”

“ May 17th through May 23rd. I took my 14 and 18 year old daughters and we stayed in unit 1540. From the moment we walked through the door and hit the lanai we were in love with the place. The view is even better then pictures can provide. The Condo has everything you need from towels, hand soap, toilet paper, iron, hair dryer, to a fully stocked kitchen, which was gorgeous. The bed was a King size with nice linens and lots of pillows, the couch was comfy and the décor was really cute. We also had pool towels, boogie boards, snorkeling gear and beach chairs The unit is located in a fabulous location so close to everything we needed. Plus it's very Quiet inside, we were not bothered by anyone. Waikiki Beach is just right outside and after walking down Waikiki, believe its the nicest part of the beach. We did not rent a car and found many things were in walking distance and the convenience of shuttles, and bus's and trolleys right out front was great. The aBC stores are right there for a quick pick up of things, but there is a Wal-Mart behind the Mall as well as a Foodland where you can get groceries. They also have a Costco and a Safeway all within a short distance from the Ilikai all huge cost savers. It was so worth the trip out to the flea market held at the aloha Bowl. There is a Trolley that will take you to and from; it has really great deals on trinkets and treasures, clothes, jewelry and even local fruits and vegetables. The birds eye view from the lanai gives you access to a rooftop luau at the Hilton and a amazing view of the fireworks held right on the beach in front of you on Fridays. I will come back and book this condo again. Everything was clean, Kat and Hans were super to work with and things couldn't have gone smoother. Thanks for the great time and helping me give my senior a graduation present she will always remember! ”

Jackie C. from Graham, WA on 04/29/2011 said:
“ We stayed in room 1540 at the Ilikai april 20-25, 2011. The hotel is an older hotel & not as fancy as some of the newer ones, but it was still nice & the location is great. Room 1540 was decorated very nice, was clean, & had a spectacular view of the lagoon and ocean. We got a great deal on the room. The Ilikai is very affordable compared to "resort" type places. There were beach chairs, boogie boards, beach towels, & a cooler in the room for us to use. Full kitchen which is great if you want to be able to cook while you are staying there. There were plenty of elevators, no we never got stuck waiting to long to get to our room. If you walk down the ramp at the rear of the hotel, it only takes you right to the lagoon & then you are only steps away from the ocean. The lagoon is perfect if you want to lounge on an airmattress or have small kids since the water is calm. This part of Waikiki has a much larger beach than other parts. There is a fireworks show every Friday evening. They are let off from the beach between the lagoon and ocean. There was a Mc Donalds & ABC Superette right across the street from the front of the hotel. There are so many shops & restaurants in this area to pick from. We had dinner at Sarento's at the top of the Ilikai & the food & service were superb. It was only a few blocks to walk to the alamoana Shopping Center that had every kind of store you could think of. We rented a car from Thrifty which was a couple blocks away (was much cheaper than the rental car companies across the street from the hotel) on Easter & drove around the island. We went to the Bydo-In Temple which is beautiful & to the North Shore. I would definately recommend this room and hotel to someone coming to Oahu that wants a nice place to stay without all the cost of staying in a fancy resort. ”

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. ”

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.

“ 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. ”

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 . ”

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. ”

“ 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. ”

“ 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. ”

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. ”

We used the kitchen everyday for at least one meal which made it very economical. The condo was nice and clean and we had everything we needed. It was a plus that there where bugey boards for us to use in the ocean. The only draw back was the need to ungrade the bathroom towels, its not that they where not clean, but many had stains that obviously did not come out and they really where not very soft anymore. Besides that we loved the condo and have every intention of renting it again for our next trip. ”

“ The Ilikai is an older property in a great location between the yacht harbor and the Hawaiian Village. The condo is well stocked and very comfortable. It has a full newly remodeled kitchen, updated bath and comforatble king bed. There are indoor and outdoor eating areas and a comfortable sofa in front of a flat screen tv. The best part about the unit is the view of the ocean and the lagoon (wow) and that it has afternoon shade on the unit which was great. The unit is located near the end of the wing so it has little street noise. The only negatives are that the aC is the older kind and was fairly noisy and the unit could have used a ceiling fan. The aC does not blow directly on the bed so sleeping with it on was not uncomfortable. Great value and location. ”

My daughter slept on the sofa bed, she added the foam padding from the closet and slept well. The view was so nice, we watched the surfers every morning while having coffee on the lanai. We had breakfast in the condo every day. The location is at the beginning of Waikiki. For us, the location was better than the middle of Waikiki. The beach is larger and less crowded -- no umbrellas in the way either! We did go to the main area of Waikiki for our daughter to surf, better for new surfers. We had a rental car and parked in valet at the Ilikai, the easiest thing to do. It was $25 per day, in and out as you please. Really, quite a deal when you think of how much money you save over a hotel in the middle of Waikiki! I used to live on Oahu so we had to drive all over the island so I could reminisce, such a beautiful place!! We didn't see much of the luau at the Hilton, not impressed, really, a luau on a roof! Go to the Polynesian Cultural Center for a great show. Didn't watch their luau either, was busy eating, but, the show afterward is really good. Wonderful place to stay. ”

“ 3 adults 1 toddler and unit 1540 was the ideal spot for our Hawaiian vacation. The location, the unit, the hotel, the view, and the nice extras were all part of a formula for a vacation in which each day was the best day ever. The kitchen was nicely supplied, there were plenty of towels for showers, the extra blankets and plentiful supply of pillows made a very nice pallet for the toddler. We enjoyed our breakfast on the balcony and loved the up close view of the Friday fireworks. The hotel gym, shops, general store, and restaurants were a convenient touch and came in handy. The hotel is within walking distance of a nice supermarket, bus stops, package stores,restaurants, Ala Moana mall, and ala Moana park (which became one of our favorite spots to visit). The only suggestions I would make is to add plexi-glass to the railings of the balcony to make it a bit more child friendly and to rearrange the furniture to allow the air con to run more efficiently. Nonetheless, I will recommend unit 1540 to anyone I know that may be heading to the Island. Thank you for an incredible memory. ”

The condo was clean, beautifully decorated, had all the amenities one would need. The view from the lanai was spectacular and is the best place to watch the fireworks on Friday nights. I got many wonderful pictures / memories from that lanai. My wife loves to shop,so the proximity to the ala Moana Shopping Center was very advantageous. Many fine restaurants within walking distance like the Chart House. Having the full kitchen was great. We cooked and ate most of our breakfasts in the condo. Slipping coffee and eating breakfast on the lanai was the thing to do. We were able to purchase (at great prices) fresh fruits, breads, cookies, loaves, quiche, salads, etc twice a week right down in the courtyard area of the Ilikai. What they did not have the aBC Superette (carries more than a regular aBC store)is just down the block and across the street. I can not say anything bad about the condo. It not only met our expectations, but it exceeded them. When we go back, we will definitely be booking this condo again. ”

“ May 17th through May 23rd. I took my 14 and 18 year old daughters and we stayed in unit 1540. From the moment we walked through the door and hit the lanai we were in love with the place. The view is even better then pictures can provide. The Condo has everything you need from towels, hand soap, toilet paper, iron, hair dryer, to a fully stocked kitchen, which was gorgeous. The bed was a King size with nice linens and lots of pillows, the couch was comfy and the décor was really cute. We also had pool towels, boogie boards, snorkeling gear and beach chairs The unit is located in a fabulous location so close to everything we needed. Plus it's very Quiet inside, we were not bothered by anyone. Waikiki Beach is just right outside and after walking down Waikiki, believe its the nicest part of the beach. We did not rent a car and found many things were in walking distance and the convenience of shuttles, and bus's and trolleys right out front was great. The aBC stores are right there for a quick pick up of things, but there is a Wal-Mart behind the Mall as well as a Foodland where you can get groceries. They also have a Costco and a Safeway all within a short distance from the Ilikai all huge cost savers. It was so worth the trip out to the flea market held at the aloha Bowl. There is a Trolley that will take you to and from; it has really great deals on trinkets and treasures, clothes, jewelry and even local fruits and vegetables. The birds eye view from the lanai gives you access to a rooftop luau at the Hilton and a amazing view of the fireworks held right on the beach in front of you on Fridays. I will come back and book this condo again. Everything was clean, Kat and Hans were super to work with and things couldn't have gone smoother. Thanks for the great time and helping me give my senior a graduation present she will always remember! ”

“ We stayed in room 1540 at the Ilikai april 20-25, 2011. The hotel is an older hotel & not as fancy as some of the newer ones, but it was still nice & the location is great. Room 1540 was decorated very nice, was clean, & had a spectacular view of the lagoon and ocean. We got a great deal on the room. The Ilikai is very affordable compared to "resort" type places. There were beach chairs, boogie boards, beach towels, & a cooler in the room for us to use. Full kitchen which is great if you want to be able to cook while you are staying there. There were plenty of elevators, no we never got stuck waiting to long to get to our room. If you walk down the ramp at the rear of the hotel, it only takes you right to the lagoon & then you are only steps away from the ocean. The lagoon is perfect if you want to lounge on an airmattress or have small kids since the water is calm. This part of Waikiki has a much larger beach than other parts. There is a fireworks show every Friday evening. They are let off from the beach between the lagoon and ocean. There was a Mc Donalds & ABC Superette right across the street from the front of the hotel. There are so many shops & restaurants in this area to pick from. We had dinner at Sarento's at the top of the Ilikai & the food & service were superb. It was only a few blocks to walk to the alamoana Shopping Center that had every kind of store you could think of. We rented a car from Thrifty which was a couple blocks away (was much cheaper than the rental car companies across the street from the hotel) on Easter & drove around the island. We went to the Bydo-In Temple which is beautiful & to the North Shore. I would definately recommend this room and hotel to someone coming to Oahu that wants a nice place to stay without all the cost of staying in a fancy resort. ”

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.

“ 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. ”

Absolutely wonderful condo!

“ 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. ”

“ 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

“ 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 ”
