Wonderful Vacation
Condo 629 is very nice and confrontable. I own a cleaning business, and I found this condo to be very clean. The view is amazing! We spent lots of time on lanai just looking at the harbor and ocean. The kitchen was very user friendly and updated. We will stay in this condo again. The Ilikia is in a perfect location and everything in hotel was very clean. We hated to leave and can't wait to return to Hawaii.

Excellent
Loved the condo key arrangement, no checking in procedure or having to worry if our flight is late. #833 was very nice. Our only suggestion is to check out the toilet, as it doesn't flush very well. We would certainly stay in the unit again and will recommend it to our friends.
—Karen (10/11/2011)
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!

“ despite the "aged" appearance to the exterior of the hotel, the condo was stylishly furnished and comfortably clean. it was roomy enough for four adults and the lanai served as a great dining area. the view was not breathtaking but definitely cannot complain about waking up to seeing the ocean. I would reserve this particular condo again and would recommend it to friends who are looking for what we were looking for-- reasonable rate, clean, kitchenette, good location. extreme downside: $25+ parking everyday ”

“ We were a little unsure about booking something online from a rental company that we knew nothing about. But our experience with this condo dispelled all fears. The view was great and the location was perfect. Of course, it is not on the beachfront, but it is the next best thing. It is a short walk to the beach in front of the Hilton. The Hilton lagoon is open to the public...perfect for a relaxing swim or for kids to play. And the ala Moana Beach Park (highly recommended) is a longer walk, but still doable if you're not carrying too much. The bus stops right at the corner next to the building so everything is more or less convenient. The service was good. All questions were answered in a timely manner and the room had everything we needed. The bed is comfortable, the linens in good supply, and the kitchen is well-equipped. Being on the 11th floor was no problem. There are plenty of elevators and they run very quickly. One unexpected advantage of the room was that we could watch the luau on the rooftop of the Hilton every night from our lanai! It was a little loud sometimes, but nothing that closing the door didn't block out. We stayed for two weeks and enjoyed every minute of it. If we decide to stay in Waikiki again, we will certainly try to book this condo. ”

“ We traveled to Illakai from australia on our way to the USa/Canada. The location of Illakai was excellent, away from the buzz of central Waikiki but still within walking distance (15mins from Illakai to the other end of the beach). Having a kitchen in the condo was fantastic as we were able to walk to Wal Mart and get some general supplies for those times we didn't feel like eating out. Our only criticism of the condo would be the air conditioning. Whilst it wasn't too hot in Hawaii during our stay the air conditioner still needed to be on and was very noisy. The kitchen and bathroom in the condo is dated but still comfortable and clean. Having access to things like beach towels, mats, chairs, cooler etc was really great! ”

“ Really did enjoy this Hotel and Condo although it does need a little more TLC, some upgrading and painting. The furniture has been recovered, but the indoor chairs are showing wear and tear and the walls and bathroom door need some fill and paint. The bedspread was new but the sheets need replacing as they are worn and pilly. But the bed itself was very comfortable. Some pillows had blood stains on them, was glad I brought my own pillow. The cleaning staff could do a bit better job of cleaning the bathroom and kitchen sinks and the patio sliding door sills need a good cleaning as well. But all in all for the value it was very good. Loved the location and amenities nearby. ”

The dishwasher was especially nice to have. The view from the condo was nice overlooking the courtyard and marina with easy access to the beach. The air conditioning was nice on the hot days. The conference centre is a 15-20 minute walk. Although there are aBC stores everywhere, a larger grocery store was close enough (about a 7 minute walk). This is as good as we expected for the price and location. We would definitely stay again if we need to return to the area. ”

“ We loved our stay in this condo! The hotel itself is in a great location. It is older but very well-maintained and quiet. This immaculate condo has stunning views of the harbor from the wall to wall, floor to ceiling windows. The condo and views looks just like the photos except the sofa and bedspread have been very nicely updated. The condo is very quiet and well-stocked. The bed was so comfortable. You can catch the trolley and the local bus right outside the door. Phone Honolulu transit for directions and times. It's an inexpensive, clean, comfortable way to get around the city. Check-in was very easy with the electronic keypad. The air-conditioning was quiet inside the apartment. There are fireworks on the beach on Friday nights. Valet was very helpful arranging a shuttle for the airport. Would highly recommend this condo and want to give a big thanks to the owners for providing us with such a great place to stay in Waikiki. ”

“ This condo is central to all things Waikiki! The hotel is a short walk to the biggest shopping centre in Hawaii and to some of the nicest beaches too! For places a little further out, the trolley stops right outside your door, how's that for convenient. Access to the condo via electronic keypad was extremely convenient. Check-in was hassle free and no worrying about losing keys. The apartment itself was clean and fully equipt with everthing you would need to cook like you do at home. Loved the extra's such as tips on cheap car rentals and parking (we used these and saved a bundle) chairs and mats for the beach and sand toys for the kids. If I had to complain about anthing at all there would be only 2 things that prevented this from being absolutely perfect. 1 - the sofa bed is really uncomfortable (however we ended up putting the kids on this and taking the king bed which was very comfy & 2- water pressure in the shower was not the best and left my hair somewhat flat but all in all nothing that put a damper on our stay. I would recommend this condo for anyone looking for affordability in a 5 star location. The Hilton is right next door but 3 times the price (and doesn't have a kitchen). When we return to Hawaii we will deffinately return to this condo. Thanks Rocco, for being so helpful from the very start of our accommodation search to our return home. ”

It was our first experience with this type of accommodation, and I have to say we were extremely pleased. The condo was very clean, had a very comfortable King bed and sofa bed, and a kitchen equipped with new appliances and more dishes than we could use. The Ilikai Hotel and Suites is a gracious and comfortable site, offering a lovely open-air lobby, a very nice pool, and interesting restaurants. We liked the value and cleanliness of this property the best. The only disappointment was that it had no health club privileges associated with the rental. ”

It has a balcony that we sat on and saw a fantastic fireworks show for the 4th of July. There is a firework show every Friday on the beach. We did go to the beach and traveled around Waikiki via the Trolley. The information package that was left in the room was helpful. I would recommend this condo to anyone keeping in mind that it is better suited for a couple. Kids would be OK on the sofa but another couple in the condo would would make it small.

The location was great as it was far enough from the hustle and bustle of waikki central, but close enough to have an enjoyable walk. The only down side was parking. Valet was quite expensive, and no alocated spot for this particular apartment. We had to find parking at the beach behind the apartment, which was a little annoying.I would recommend the Ilikai apartments to anyone and I would definately stay there again. ”

“ Aloha Condos and Rocco were excellent in all dealings. We particularly appreciated the early check-in after our early arrival from Australia. We were impressed with the cleanliness and full stock of linen for our stay. Our previous four stays in Hawaii have been in expensive tiny hotel rooms around Waikiki; staying in a full size apartment and preparing our own meals, without housekeepers arriving when they were free, was a pleasure. We are so pleased we had taken advice from a Canadian couple we had meet in 2008 at Ala Moana Mall who recommended Aloha Condos. Ilakai Hotel is obviously having a full make-over, but the construction work did not interfer with our stay. When the hotel shopping mall reopens and the construction work ends, we would rate the overall experience at five star!! ”

“ Location: you just cannot beat it. Not in the middle of Waikiki is so much better so that you can have peaceful nights. Parking: you have to use valet service, and $18/day might not be cheap, but boys are always there with smiles and at the end, I really do think it is worth it. I hate driving around looking for parking spots anyway. View: sunsets were so beautiful! Kitchen stuff: everything worked, and plenty of plates, mugs, utensils etc. absolutely no problem. Bed: bed was firm and nice. I wish you had different type of pillows though. They were too soft for us. Bathroom: everything worked: Maybe you might want to add a small size of soap for the sink, and leave a larger one for shower for guestsâ convenience. Keyless entry: first we had some problems locking, but once we figured it out and once we memorized the number, this was the best idea. Why anyone wants to use card key! Imagine losing the room key at the sandy beach!! We stayed for 8 nights and we needed to change sheets during our stay. I noticed you had only twin sheets sets on the selves. Maybe you should change them to Queen size, just in case of guestâs longer stay like ours. ”

Good things -- kitchen was well stocked with dishes,etc. the dishwasher a great plus. Lighting generally fine. Not so good things - the bedding was terrible. The plastic sheet on the bed made it feel like you were in the hospital and it made the bed too hot. Bad! Also, one small bar of soap for both handwashing and shower for ten days for two people seemed pretty stingy. Toilet paper for two for ten days was not enough and we bought our own as that provided was of very poor quality. Need to do better with the bathroom stuff. Other than that a great time. Thanks. ”

“ We (2 adults, to children) stayed in Unit 629 and were very happy overall with the accommodations. I would not consider this a high end unit, but it is comfortable and nice at a very good price. We arrived early and Aloha Condos was able to accommodate our early arrival at no extra cost....thanks Rocco! View of Ala Moana boat harbor and sunsets were great. Building across the street still undergoing renovation but, other than a slight eyesore, it did not bother us. This room was very quiet, no noises from adjacent rooms nor from outside. This is not in the heart of Waikiki, but only a 20 minute walk to the International Marketplace. We enjoyed being a bit away from the crowds and the extra walking was good for us. The only difficulty we encountered was with the $250 security deposit authorization on our credit card...seems the funds transferred out of our account but the owner shows no record of receiving funds on their account. Still working with banks to resolve, check your bank statements carefully if you book here. (I believe this is an honest "mistake," Rocco has been very responsive in working with us to resolve this issue. Other than that, we were very satisfied and would recommend this condo ”

Even though I had to make my own bed each day, it made for a much more relaxing vacation as I didn't feel as though I had to hurry out in the morning so the housekeeping staff could come in. The only thing that would have been nice would be a couple more bath towels. Found that I had to launder towels twice while I was there a week. Overall the condo was wonderful, clean, quiet, and well furnished. Even the construction going on across the courtyard was not a problem. We found very nice restaurants within a pleasant walk from the condo each evening - never ate in the same one twice. ”

Other than that, we thought the keypad was fantastic - no worries about losing keys at the beach. The location was great - very central. ”

We are glad you had a relaxing time in our condo. We wish, however, that you had let us know about the problem with the drain. We have a local contact that is available most any time, and a very responsive plumber that would have been able to fix the drain problem very quickly.
The building next door is being worked on, and progressing quickly, the bulk of exterior construction should be completed by the end of the year. ”

Could do without a car at this location. Unit was relatively clean, well equipped kitchen; beach chairs and towels provided. A/C unit was a little loud when on the lanai, w/ partial view of marina and partial view of buildings (no view of water when in bed.) But it was nice to hear the Hawaiian music program every Friday evening while sitting on the lanai. Would definitely stay at the Ilikai again--maybe on a different section of the building w/ a more unobstructed view of the water--but would stay at this unit again if something w/ a better view was unavailable.

We had just stayed at a condo in Seabrook Island and were so happy to see the little things that go along way such as coffee filters and salt, pepper, foil, and plastic wrap, that the condo in Seabrook did not have. I know this items seen small but when you go to do something such as cook its very nice to have the items at hand. The decor was wonderful and updated, the view fantastic. Go to the restaurant on the 30th floor, go for happy hour and and early bird dinner (a lot less expensive) the view is breathtaking!! One thing I hope the owners might add would be beach chairs, umbrella, and a small ice chest to use on the beach. Also a book with information such as where the grocery stores are and directions on how to get to them. I do hope we can return again. A special thanks to Cat who helped us out so much ”

Luckily there was no renter the next day. He quickly arranged the cleaning person to come later on and allowed us to stay until night, so that my Mom had some good rest. We only paid $50 for this late notice request. I really appreciate that. ”

Good rental

Kevin G from San Diego on 04/16/2009 said:
“ Rental was clean and well taken care of. Cozy bed with nice sunset facing view, although a few buildings naturally get in the way. Located close to Aloha towers and chinatown. Very quite in the building and very private - no tourists mad dashing for the elevators. Owners are very attentive to your needs and respond quickly to your requests and questions. Just be aware of a few minor caveats: 1. Parking is not fun - must weave around to the 7th floor to get parking. If you don't make arrangements with owner to get a hand tag parking is very expensive. Hand tag parking only accepts cash so be prepared to shell out. Persoanlly owner should have a space in the garage and let you use it. Additionally, getting into the parking garage is a pain, so many one way streets, if you don't come straight down Bishop you are gonna be frustrated. Street noise is a problem in the morning. Bedroom needs real curtains, blinds don't keep the sun out so it is a great alarm clock in the morning. Although there is a Long's drug at the base of the building, it and most other businesses close early since you are downtown so plan ahead. The kitchen in the condo is small and slightly sparse, just a small cooktop, a microwave and a small toaster oven, but it was ok for light cooking. ONe other warning, this unit cannot really sleep 4 in my opinion. Thehre is one queen bed in the bedroom and a small swivel couch in the living room/kitchen - can't see how one person- let alone 2 could sleep in it. Fair price for what you get though and being downtown especially for business was a plus. ”

For the price and cleanliness and feeling like we had a home away from home, the Ilikai and this specific condo was superb. ”

I stopped staying in the hotel when the addition was started (I am disappointed in the property as a hotel but I will return to #833 if it is available the next time I am in Honolulu. ”

“ We were thrilled to find how close we were to the Hilton Lagoon - wonderful swimming for young children. The condo had some water toys on the balcony which were very much appreciated. A full kitchen - large fridge and large oven really helps when you have to feed young children - not always in restaurants. We also really liked using a code to access our condo - no worry about lost keys. ”

Lee from Peachtree City, GA 30269 on 06/21/2011 said:
“ This is a wonderful, recently, remodeled condo. The new hardwood floors feel so good to walk on with bare feet and the old wallpaper has been removed throughout. The walls are freshly painted with a very nice, cool beige. The condo is immaculate and the marina view is spectacular. The entry instructions are easy and with the automatic lock on the door, you don't have to worry about losing any keys while at the beach. By the way, the beach is literally just a few minutes walk and you don't even have to cross the street. The Ilikai building itself is on the same side of the ocean, which is a big plus. The Ilikai Bar & Grill is a great place to grab breakfast or lunch on the way to the beach at a reasonable price. There is also a local coffee shop that recently opened on the lobby floor and the restaurant, Sarento's on top of the Ilikai is a great dinner place with an expansive view of Waikiki, Diamond Head and Honolulu. On Friday nights, the outdoor lobby/lanai has Hawaiian music and a hula show for the guest's entertainment. There is even a fireworks show that shoots off from the lagoon. Everyone was friendly and the property manager answered any questions I had promptly. Best of all is the stunning sunset view from the 833 lanai. For the location, price, view and condition, this condo is a 5 star gem! ”

Darinalou from Melbourne on 09/30/2010 said:
“ I stayed in this unit for 3 nights in September. The value would be great for a longer stay, but the cleaning charge and extended check in/out charges made it a more expensive option than I had originally planned. I really enjoyed the stay in the unit, though - lots of space, clean and comfortable, and a view to die for. The location was a fair distance from the downtown area, but trolley buses run past the door every 10 mins and cost $2 per trip. For serious shoppers a 10 minute walk will get you to the ala Moana Shopping Centre. Make sure you stay on a Friday night to watch the hotel luau show from the balcony and then take a short stroll to the beach where the Hilton has a weekly fireworks show. ”

“ The view from this unit looks directly over the harbor and the ocean with gorgeous sunset views from the lanai. The new flatscreen tv is great and we enjoyed using the new dishwasher and new coffeemaker. The unit is supplied with beach towels, beach chairs, beach umbrella, cooler and a new body board, similar to a boogie board. The free wireless internet was very useful during our stay and easy to use. There are also plenty of wine glasses for enjoying a relaxing evening on the lanai, while watching the hula show below on Friday nights. The two cordless telephones are convenient when two people want to share their wonderful Hawaiian experience with family and friends using the free U.S. and Canada long distance calling. Everyone we came in contact with at the Ilikai was very helpful and friendly. Would definitely recommend this unit and location! ”

“ My family stayed in this condo for 25 days this summer. It had a beautiful harbor view and from its lanai we could see hula show every fridays. On the Independance Day, we could see fabulous fireworks on our lanai whitout waiting outside for a long time. The building was very secure and we could use free wifi in our room. Just the construction noise from next building for the new swimming pools annoyed us when we stayed in the condo during the day, but it was almost finished when we had to leave. The location of the condo was also excellent. We could walk to the ala moana shopping center for shopping or our meals. Just across the street, there was Mcdonald and aBC store and also many nice restaurants. The rent-a- car office was across the street, taxis were always waiting in front of the building and the tour buses also came there for pick-up. We also stayed in Hilton Hawaiian Village for two nights and also liked the place, but Ilikai was a good value. ”

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! ”

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. ”

“ 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. ”

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.

Ilikai Condo 828

Mary from Kirkland, WA on 10/24/2011 said:
“ 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. ”

“ 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. ”

“ 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! ”

WakeUpScreaming from Vancouver, Canada on 05/03/2011 said:
“ 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. ”
