PJ from Brisbane on 06/10/2013 said:

“ When we decided to have a vacation in Hawaii, one of the primary concerns was whether we'd be able to find a hotel room/apartment that had a kitchen to make our own meals. When I came across this condo at the Ilikai, I was impressed by the number of positive reviews and all the videos and photos detailing the room. I can say it's even better in real life. The room is spacious, the kitchen is fully stocked with a large fridge, dishwasher and all the amenities, the location is ideal and the view is brilliant. You can walk to all the major locations within Waikiki within ten minutes. Car hire, ABC stores, Ala Moana shopping centre, the main Waikiki strip - they're all just a pleasant 10 minute walk from your room. The freebies included in the room such as the snorkels and binoculars, beach mats and reading books made the stay even more perfect. I thought the room was perfectly priced for what we got. Taxis are always available out the front of the hotel and there are a few car hire places within a 100 metres of the hotel. If I were to come back to Waikiki, I will definitely be booking this room again. ”

“ Our stay here was fantastic. The condo was clean,had all the amenities you find in a regular condo, a large balcony, and had a great view. Even better was the extras provided- free long distance to Canada & U.S.,snorkeling equipment, beach mats,etc. The guest book and instruction binder tells you how awesome the owners are in making sure you have a great stay here. Our relatives had condos from another rental company and they looked old and worn. It is situated at the end of Wakiki Beach, so you can enjoy a less crowded beach. It is a 10 minute walk to the heavily crowded beach. This is definitely the place to rent in Honolulu. ”

Great condo, great value, great location

Overall rating:
Martin Taylor from Toronto on 12/30/2012 said:

“ After a long flight, so easy to just go to your room, enter the door code and relax. A nicely refurbished condo, very comfortable with superb views of sunsets and the harbour. Nice to have a quiet split-unit a/c, though we rarely needed to use it. Everything worked very well. Sad that the Ilikai has declined as a hotel over the years but this condo was excellent. Easy walking distance to ala Moana shopping centre, Magic Island or to Waikiki Beach. Car rentals available just across the street if you decide to go around the island. ”

Manager response:

“ We're glad you guys had a good time, thank you. ”

Lovely condo with a great view!

Overall rating:
Caterina from Santa Rosa, California on 12/04/2012 said:

“ A small, compact and very comfortable condo on the 19th floor with a great view of the ala Wai yacht harbor. Island style decor and a kitchen with all necessities added to the value. Because this condo faces the ocean we did not experience the night traffic noise that others complained about. The TV stopped working twice and each time we spent 30 minutes on the phone with the cable company to get it working again. ”

“ It was wonderful to find a very original condo with even the sliding shutters of yesteryear We loved the aspect of 1904 and the tasteful --but dated --decor was completely to our liking given our very many times at the Ilikai when we lived in lax many yrs ago We thought the reservation and check in service worked very well we think the owners should consider installing an updated TV without all the fancy buttons on the remote ”

Makiki from Richmond, CA on 06/04/2012 said:

“ We stayed in condo 1904 for a week at the end of May. The decor was very nice, everything looked new. The kitchen was well appointed even though we didn't cook there. The view was spectacular, the sunsets beautiful. We've been coming to the Ilikai for many years on and off, and have stayed in other condos before. This one was the best we've stayed in and the wi-fi connection was good too. We'll be happy to return the next time we're in Honolulu. ”

“ This was my third trip to Hawaii with a stay in this unit; I will continue booking here! From reservation to checkout, I couldn't be more pleased! The Ilikai is conveniently located for walks to the park, beach, restaurants and shopping and a short walk into Waikiki. The condo is spotless, very well maintained and fully equipped with all the conveniences of home; perfect for my vacation! Bonus: the sunsets from the balcony are absolutely gorgeous! Highly recommend! ”

“ We received excellent service, all the check in and check out information was in order. The condo is very clean and comfortable and the view of the marina and ocean from the lanai were perfect, with a short walk to the beach. Evening sunsets on the lanai with a glass of wine were the best! ”

“ My spouse and I stayed at this condo and could not have asked for more. The view is breath taking, it is very close to many restaurants. The beach is just a walk away but far enough to have peace and quiet. We really enjoyed staying here. We greatly recommed it. ”

Dent from Montgomery, Alabama on 09/27/2011 said:

“ Ilikai condo 1904 had everything we needed and working with Kathaleen Petron was effortless. Only negative was the cost for parking so we found another garage nearby and negotiated a much lower rate. Although the walk was further, it helped us work off the vacation food. Sarento's Top of the I is one of our favorites. ”

Good experience, location and reasonable price!

Ken from Copenhagen on 08/22/2011 said:

“ Short walk from waikiki, good view of marina, no serious noise from street below. Note that carparking is valet only and is 32$/day. Expensive, but worth it in a city without any free parking space. All in all great experience, would definitely stay there another time. Great service regarding reservation and arrival! ”

Everything a traveler could want

Former Hawai'i resident from Denver CO on 06/24/2011 said:

“ I have stayed at the Ilikai Condos twice before, and this unit is the best one I have had. Everything you could possibly need is provided (I was very pleasantly surprised to note the curling iron!). The unit is immaculate, the bed is comfortable, and I enjoyed the different little decorating touches. I prefer the Ilikai location because it's not right on Kalakaua, which makes it easier to avoid bad traffic; on the other hand, you're within walking distance of not only the "touristy" part of Waikiki but also ala Moana Shopping Center. Great facility, and 1904 is a great unit which I have no hesitation in recommending unreservedly. ”

Our favorite holiday ever!!!

Bhavani Rajaram from Arlington, VA on 05/03/2011 said:

“ It was lovely to come in to the clean and tastefullly decorated unit. It was quiet and peaceful at all times. The large windows opened out to a gorgeous view and the curtains over them kept out the early morning light when we wanted to sleep in. The kids of course loved the great new flat screen tv. It was very spacious even with the couch pulled out into a bed. We used the fully stocked kitchen for making scrumptious breakfasts and snacks. We did walk to the many restaurants for lunch and dinner. It was great to walk either by the beach or by ala Moana Blvd to get to any of the eateries we felt like. The mall was really close too with a great food court and grocery store - food land. The coffee place at Illakai was great and so was the Kona Bean right across the road. The bar downstairs was perfectly situated with a view of the ocean. The stores downstairs were useful when we needed something in a hurry. Of course the many aBC stores were ubiquitous. We always saw people cleaning the walkways. We relaxed by the pool some times which had clean towels and shower. We could order drinks and food from the bar to have by the poolside. Friday evening if you were tired to walk to a restaurant, you could enjoy the hula, music and fireworks (on the lagoon) downstairs. Our favorite time was sipping wine as we watched the sunset from the lanai. The view from the bed and lanai was breathtaking. Most mornings we ate our papaya and pineapple on the lanai watching the early surfers take the waves. Most mornings we had time to go for a jog along the park which we could see from the lanai. ”

I liked everything about this condo

Guests from Oregon from Sherwood, OR on 02/10/2011 said:

“ It is tastefully decorated, feels spacious due to not being over-furnished, and has a beautiful sunset view. The kitchen is well-equipped, linens are fine. We found everything we needed, including both wired and wireless internet. Best for only two persons, or a couple with a child since there is no privacy partition. When I return to the Ilikai, this is the room I want to come back to. ”

Room was nice and view was grean, location was convenient

Overall rating:
Cassy from Vancouver, WA on 02/02/2011 said:

“ The overall condo was very nice. Some suggestions: the bedspread could be replaced and also maybe some new covers for the chairs/couch. Toilet seat is very loose and the back of the bathroom door was filthy. Most important the air conditioner unit filter needs to be replaced in and out of the condo. ”

Manager response:

“ Thanks for your comments. All of our units have professionals maintaining the units. An appliance technician maintains the air conditioner on a scheduled basis. The cleanings are done by a professional housekeeping company. We then follow up with an inspection of the unit's cleanliness, general condition and function.<br /> <br /> We maintain a Local Contact whose phone number isin the condo instructions which are sentto each guest. The number is also posted in the room. If a problem or question arises during a stay, a phone call will begin the correction.<br /> <br /> We strive to provide an immaculate and perfectly functioning unit at every check in. We provide a remedy for problems that may arise. If ever we do miss anything, we encourage a call for these situations as well as general questions a guest may have about their stay.<br /> Mahalo.<br /> Owners, Ilikai Hotel 1904 ”

Had a really good time in the condo.

Overall rating:
Peter Webb from San Francisco on 12/21/2010 said:

“ This condo was really well sited for our purposes. It was close enough to the Kalakaua strip to be convenient for visiting the hotels, shops, etc. that are the center of Waikiki, but also convenient to ala Moana State Park and the Mall, both of which we like to visit. It was also close to the marathon start. The westward looking lanai was great for sunset watching, and the condo facilities were good. We were able to cook our own meals if we wanted, and the bed and bathroom were first class. My only criticism is that, while the broadband router was effective, and I could freely access the Internet using the Ethernet cable to connect my laptop, I could not get any access using the wireless access feature. My laptop would connect to the wireless access point, but all traffic appeared to be blocked. This appears to be a configuration issue with the WaP. ”

One night, an australian couple talked to us in front of our room " We know this 1904 is the best! because we stayed at 1904 last year. You're lucky to book this room!!" This conversation make us surprised and happy! ”

Extended reunion vacation

Overall rating:
Steve and Suzanne from Frisco, TX on 10/11/2010 said:

“ We had a family reunion and had stayed at the Ilikai with family for the first week and a half of the vacation. After all the kids and their families went back to their homes it was time for the parents to rest and enjoy themselves. We decided to book a stay at unit 1904 for one more week just for ourselves. The unit, for a couple, was wonderful with all the accommodations and modern amenities needed, very clean and neat. We especially appreciated the air conditioning unit as it seemed state of the art, very quiet, almost a whisper of sound. The view of the harbor, ocean and direct sunset was just wonderfully perfect for the two of us. This was a perfect couples hideaway. If there was anything that could be improved, but only because of my preference, would be the king bed, it was firm and I prefer something a bit softer a little more cushion. Besides that we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at unit 1904 and would look to return and recommend this unit as a couples getaway hideaway. ”

Bruce from La Center, WA on 09/20/2010 said:

“ I was in Honolulu on business and the Ilikai, room 1904 fit my needs very well. The room was clean, spacious, and comfortable. I liked the full kitchen which was very well equipped. The views were superb, particularly the sunsets. The Ilikai is well located at the West end of Waikiki beach and also near shopping at ala Moana. It's also only a few blocks from 24 Hour Fitness which was handy for me. In addition to having a productive week at work I enjoyed a little beach time on the weekend! Good times. ”
