Ilikai Hotel
Condo 828
1-Bedroom 1-Bath Ocean Condo - Sleeps 4 [?]
An amazing location to be discovered.
Weève stayed at the Ilikai from april 14th to april 20th, 2012. The location of this hotel-condo was absolutely perfect for us. Walking distance to the beach, nice restaurant, mega shopping centre where you can find anything and everything even a Foodland. Being on the 8th floor was giving a perfect view of the ocean. The lanai was well equipped for a quiet diner. The condo was even equipped with 2 beach chairs, beach mat-towels, cooler for picnic and for those with a baby a portable playpen. Absolutely nothing to say negatively about this condo. If ever we plan of going back, this would be our choice again. Thank you for making our Hawaiian holiday a dream come true. Mahalo!
Aesthetically pleasing tropical haven with a view.
The Condo was well equipped, the bed and futon comfortable, the decor extra beautiful, the view a dream. Our little haven above carved yellow beach and blue sea. One slight moan. Cigarette smoke seemed to trail in from balcony outside now and again.
Great vacation in condo 828
Our family of four ( two adults, two teenagers) was very comfortable staying in room 828 for 16 days in Feb 2012. The ocean view room had a view of the Hilton lagoon and Friday night fireworks. The room was extremely clean and the beds were comfortable. All the appliances worked; we prepared many meals in the room. Grocery stores are availabe near by and the Ilikai store is reasonably priced for last minute supplies. Easy walk down the beach to Beach walk and Lewers street. Only a 10-15 minute walk straight down ala Moana to the mall.Bus and trolley stops are right outside the hotel. Wailani Coffee Shop a great local coffee shop a short walk down ala Moana Blvd. I would definitely stay here again.
R&R; on Waikiki
We booked our stay at unit 828 through Kathaleen at Hawaiian Vacation Properties. She provided excellent communication and directions which added to our comfort before and during our 6 night stay. The unit has been updated and has all the amenities needed, with the exception of a washer/dryer. But who wants to do laundry on vacation? We found the unit to be very quiet. There is a view of the Hilton lagoon and Waikiki Beach. Easy walking to ala Moana Shopping Center and numerous restaurants to choose from. A Foodland market is also within walking distance and enabled us to cook a few meals during our stay. If one wants to rent a car there are 2 agencies right across the street. We really enjoyed that we could walk in, drop our bags and start to enjoy our vacation.
Almost Perfect
The condo was good value for the price and was fully equipped. You had a nice view from the balcony and in the evenings you could even see the performances at the Hilton Village.It is next to the elevator, but I had no problems with it, it was quiet. The TV was a bit complicated to operate (I am a bit technically challenged and there were different rules for all 3 remotes). also the aircon is very strong and I had no way of turning it off. (I dont like aircons, so this is minor for other people)
Ilikai Condo 828
We really enjoyed our stay at the Ilikai. The location was good. The condo was nicely decorated and clean. A few small items could have been included. There was no wine opener and no Kleenex. The Toilet paper was cheap. I also thought 2 towels each for a 1 week stay was skimpy, especially for a beach location. Also it is right next to the elevator. The floor was quiet when we were there, but this could be a distraction during a busier time. The bed is a Murphy. Wasn't the best, but not bad. One more strange thing; the silverware was so small, looked like s child's set; tiny spoons and forks. These are all very small things and did not deter our stay. Ala Moana Park is wonderful and a 5 minute walk. We enjoyed having the beach chairs, small cooler and beach towels. If you have a car, there is a parking lot that is $6. for 10 hours. A much better deal than the hotel. It is right next to the Ilikai at the Marina.
Fantastic accomodation in the heart of Waikiki
My husband, our god daughter (19) and I have just returned from our 3rd visit to Honolulu and we stayed in room 828. It was the best accomodation we have had so far. It was large for 3 adults to stay for 2 weeks, the room is centrally located to washing facilities and lifts. The view of the lagoon and beach was fantastic and we enjoyed our breakfast each morning on the lanai. We even had sneak peaks of the Hilton's luau each night. The room is well appointed with kitchen items, coffee maker, large fridge and cooktops. There were even cooler bags and beach mats and chairs. Other friends of ours were also staying at the condos and our room was the brightest and most homely of all. The actual building is so convenient to the trolley bus stop, Wailana coffee lounge and in very close walking distance to ala Moana shopping Centre and car rental. We cant wait to get back to room 828 and would highly recommend it to all.
Honeymoon in Paradise
Condo 828 was absolutely lovely. It is so clean, modern, and well equipped...a perfect place to enjoy the beauty of Hawaii. The resort is wonderful with a great restaurant, staff, views, valet and pool. We also enjoyed perfect views from the lanai every night of the Hilton's luau and the fireworks on Friday on Waikiki beach. Plus, it was so easy to book and affordable!

Our stay in condo 828
Overall, our stay was wonderful. The room was exactly as it was presented. The Ilikai is very nice and close enough to the Hilton that we were able to cut through the street to get to all the shops. The only things I could ask for would be a softer mattress and we missed having a tub to bathe our 2 year old, but we made due with the shower. Also, the walk to the beach takes a bit longer than was presented, but we found that for the price we paid, you really couldn't ask for more! Thank you so much for sharing your condo!
Manager response:
“ We're glad you enjoyed your stay. We look forward to having you visit our second home again. Mahalo. Aloha 828 ”
Happiness in Paradise
Second stay at the Ilikai says it all and I will be back
Manager response:
“ We are very grateful you enjoyed our second home. We welcome you back always. Aloha. Have a blessed day, Aloha, Gina ”
Enjoyed Everything about It
The room was very clean! All the comforts of home, Wi-FI, DVR, DVD, cable, terrific! Loved the marble floors and the king-sized bed! The view was great! Very accessible to everything, either by bus or walking. The Friday night fireworks were especially enjoyable. I would highly recommend you experience it for yourself. Can't be beat!
Affordable, Fantastic Location with Great View
We stayed at the Ilikai Room 828 in late april. I had booked online, so I had saw pictures and new what to expect -- we weren't dissapointed! Beautiful view facing East, so we got the morning sun and the view of the imposing Hilton tower right out our window. There was 3 of us, and I got the futon to sleep on. Both mattresses left us desiring a little more comfort. The futon mattress is pretty hard/stiff/firm. The first night we also had to get used to the indoor air conditioning and heat from outside. We found by closing the patio door, that it got too cold. The only provided blanket for the futon was this very wafer-thin synthetic microfiber sheet/blanket that didn't provide any warmth. My sister, who always complains that it's too hot, actually complained that it was too cold as well. So the next night, we opened the patio doors about 1-2 feet, so we got the air-conditioning, along with the hot, warm humid air from outside. It seemed to work. The internet access via wi-fi was a pleasant surprise, as most hotels will say they have wifi access, then charge you an outrageous fee per day. My sister had her ipod, and it was fantastic being able to search restaurants and things on the internet while staying here. Although we mainly visited restaurants for eating out including Dukes and restaurants in the Hilton Hawaiian Village next door, the kitchen was well used. We stored drinks in the fridge, and used the microwave for heating up food. My sister even made omelettes one morning with a drink using the blender. There was no bath, just a shower, but it is a nice shower. My only critique would be that the shower head shoots out the water powerfully like little spikes, and there is no way to adjust it. Getting the TV to work, and to simply change the channel was very confusing. There are 3 remotes. My sister and I had alot of trouble getting them to work. It was only by fluke we got it working in time to watch the Royal Wedding.
Manager response:
“ Aloha, We apologize for the TV/remote inconvenience. We will make the directions less complicated in the future. We are glad you enjoyed staying in our second home. Mahalo. Owner, Condo 828 ”
Just what we were looking for!
