Best Condo ever

Mark and Kathy from San Antonio on 05/14/2012 said:

“ We have been coming to the Ilikai for the past 8 years and this Condo is the nicest we have ever stayed in. Helen Ting was extremely helpfull. Everything in the Condo was clean, neat, and beautifully decorated. It had all amenities needed and more. The view was filled with amazing sunsets every night. The Blowing of the Conche shell and torch lighting every night and the Hula show on Fridays were the icing on the cake. I can't say what we liked best because everything was top notch! I have only Pros, no Cons. Mahalo Mark and Kathy San antonio Tx ”

“ I have stayed in many condos at the Ilikai in the past 10 years. This one was the very best!! There was planty of room for the 3 of us to comfortabley move around and store all of our luggage. The wall separating the bedroom and the rest of the condo was excellent for the 2 daughters to sleep in while I drank coffee on the huge lanai overlooking the yacht club and ocean...the best view ever also for the beautiful sunsets every night. Everything was included from ice-maker to beach towels...totally awesome! Within walking distance to all amenities like the ala Moana Shopping Center and the center of Waikiki. I will definetly be booking this one for my next trip to Hawaii! Thank you Helen for the Best trip ever! ”

Excellent Choice in Condos

Overall rating:
Mary from Bainbridge Island WA on 12/28/2011 said:

“ Stayed in this condo for five nights and could not have made a better decision for lodging. The condo is extremely clean, very well-equipped (kitchen, linens, beach items), modern amenities, excellent view of ocean and ala Wai Marina, and quiet. Given that it is a one-bedroom, it is quite spacious. We were in town for Uh's graduation ceremony and were able to host a dinner for 8 people very comfortably. Valet parking is $25/day which was a bit high (I thought) but it was well worth it given that nearby self-parking was $20/day. The valets were courteous and the car was delivered quickly. Online reservation process was effortless and owner response was excellent when contacted. Would highly recommend this unit and would most definitely stay here again. ”

Evelyn from Vancouver on 12/06/2011 said:

“ The rental was managed very efficiently, and the condo was wonderful - they thought of everything you might need. The location was convenient, at one end of Waikiki and away from the bustle of Waikiki central. It was walking distance from ala Moana Center which is a plus for shopping. The queen bed in the bedroom was extremely comfortable. ”

Not only is the building location convenient, but the condo itself has the perfect view for sunsets. We've stayed in 3 other condos in this building and find this one has the best kitchen, bathroom and furnishings overall. We definitely recommend it! ”

“ Mahalo to aloha Condos. This condo was exactly as pictured. Beautifully redone. The view is great. We considered getting a condo facing the lagoon, but we are so happy we didn't this side of the building is much quieter and the view at night with the marina all lit and the city lights was breathtaking. Helen was great to work with and very knowledgable.There is so much to do in Oahu and this is a great home base and convenient to everything. Don't rent a car you can go everywhere by bus or trolley and all the tour companies pick you up in front of the Ilikai. Mahalo ”

Great condo, great location we will be back

Overall rating:
California Dreamer from Granite Bay California on 09/09/2011 said:

“ Everything about the condo was as advertised and pictured on the Website. Modern, clean, well equipped, perfect location, great views, good price. Everything you need is close by from grocery stores to restaurants. The view from the lanai was so spectacular at sunset we ordered out and had dinner there on several occasions. Having a laundry room available was also helpful. Every possible means of transportation stopped at the front of the hotel. The only suggestion we have is that we found the sofa bed uncomfortable (felt springs through the thin mattress) and had to use it in the sofa configuration. That worked fine with us since we had only three adults. There is no question we would use the condo again on our next visit and recommend it highly. ”

Sophie and Bertrand from Vancouver on 07/14/2011 said:

“ This condo is beautiful. It is really nicely decorated and luxurious. The kitchen is equipped with the best quality appliances and utensils. The queen bed is very comfortable and there is lot of space to storage luggage and clothes. The bathroom with plenty of thick towels has a spacious shower. We were happy to have at our disposal beach chairs, beach umbrellas and nice beach towels. We were with our 2 kids and they were additional chairs either to eat inside or on the lanai all together. We took nearly all our meals outside on the lanai and appreciated the spectacular view. We appreciated too to have access to free WiFi and free calls. The condo is also very well located, a few steps from the beach and not directly in the crowd of Wakiki. This condo is perfect and we highly recommend this unit to anyone. Thank you indeed to have shared with us your little paradise! ”

“ Well equipped, well maintained unit on the quiet, cool side of the Ilikai with a fantastic view. Privacy screen on the lanai a big plus. Very well located midway between Waikiki Beach and ala Moana park/shopping centre. Small unit would be ok for a family of 4, but might be a bit crowded for four adults. ”

The best! from Edmonton, Alberta on 10/28/2010 said:

“ Over the years, we have stayed in 3 Ilikai condos, and this one is the best. It is evident that this unit is professionally designed to be both functional and also very classy with the best quality appliances, utensils, towels, bedding, large flat panel TV, quiet air-conditioning, etc. It has many more beautiful and quality features. There is ample storage for luggage, clothes and stuff. The queen bed is the most comfortable we have slept in. The view is incredible, watching sunset over the sea horizon is priceless. It is the best at Ilikai. ”

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

We would definitely love to come here again and take up our place on the lanai and just relax some more. ”

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

Will and Kelly from Port Coquitlam, B.C., Canada on 04/30/2010 said:

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

Stylish, Immaculate & Great Location!

Greens from Adelaide, Australia on 04/29/2010 said:

“ 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. ”

pipinz from Phoenix, AZ on 05/20/2009 said:

“ 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. <br /> <br /> 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. <br /> <br /> I value your feedback and will email you asking if you could offer more information. <br /> <br /> Your comments are greatly appreciated. <br /> <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Helen Ting, Owner ”

Kings from Washington on 04/16/2009 said:

“ 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. ”
