“ Nice unit, great view. The plastic liner on the pull out bed was low quality, even our 4-yo daughter complained about it. The carpeting is pretty worn. It would have been nice to have housekeeping come in after the 7th day to do the towels/sheets. This was done for another unit we stayed in the previous year. We stayed a total of 13 days. The shower was a little dingy. This end of the building is subject to street noise from people outside of the restaurant below. ”

Manager response:

“ We appreciate the feedback. The carpeting is always washed on a normal basis and should not be a problem. We have not heard any complaints about the plastic liner on the pull out bed but will look into it. Interim cleanings are schedule at the guest's convenience. Just give us a call and we will let cleaning know to come in. I'm sorry the street noise was too much for you to bear but usually the noise isn't bad at all and does not cause a disturbance. Thanks again for the feedback! ”

Gem in Ilikai Marina

Overall rating:
Elaine from New York, NY on 09/01/2009 said:

“ I recently had the pleasure of staying at this condo at the Ilikai Marina. First off, the view was fantastic, right alongside the Ilikai Marina with the clear blue waters of Waikiki to the left. After a long day of trekking around Oahu, sitting out on the private patio overlooking the marina was a great end to a day. The condo is centrally located at convenient distances from both the Ala Moana center and Waikiki, but still very quiet and peaceful in the evenings. The condo itself is very clean and well-kept with spacious and bright rooms. The wireless internet was very convenient for scouting out the day’s activities. I didn’t have a chance to take advantage of the surprisingly large kitchen, but it was a great plus to the condo’s amenities. All in all, an amazing find and I would definitely would return a second time and recommend to friends. ”

“ THE VIEW IS SPECTACULAR. There is an excellent restaurant right downstairs. The place is easy to find, and conveniently located between Ala Moana (main shopping area) and Waikiki (main tourist beach). Good location and value for a vacation in Honolulu. The kitchen is a nice one if you have to cook. Only thing is that that parking fees are quite high. You can consider street parking, abundant close by. Finally, the check-in procedure, or the lack thereof, is nice and smooth on first and last day - saves a lot of time. ”

Don & Kathie from Sylvania, OH on 12/03/2009 said:

“ The condo was exactly as described and pictured. It was immaculate, comfortably furnished and had a fantastic view of the marina and Honolulu's beautiful sunsets. The kitchen was the best equipped condo of any we have stayed in from Paris to Amsterdam and the building was very quiet. The attached parking garage (while a bit pricey at $17 per day) was very convenient and secure with unlimited in and out privileges. The owners were extremely easy to work with and very concerned that all of our needs were met. Any questions we had were answered promptly. We had a local contact along with the owners' email and phone numbers in case of any problems - of which there were none. Our only initial concern was locating the actual entrance to the building. Our GPS couldn't determine that while the street address is Ala Moana Blvd. the building and parking garage are accessed via Hobron Ln. between The Red Lobster and Charter House restaurants. Having laundry facilities on the 8th floor near the elevators was convenient. Just remember to bring plenty of quarters and your own soap & fabric softener since there are no change machines or product dispensers. The only other comment concerns the carpeting in the hallways - it is in need of a deep cleaning and some TLC. This, however, is an issue for the complex not this specific unit. We had a great stay and have already told many friends that we would highly recommend this unit as the perfect place to stay while enjoying Honolulu, Waikiki and the island of Oahu. ”

“ I have been reading the reviews since we stayed in this apartment and I can only assume something was done about the filthy carpet! I just felt sick when I saw it. Cannot imagine who would be able to spill so much on a cream carpet - it was hideous. As for the towels, my dog had better, really worn and a grey colour. Have never stayed in a holiday home that was so disappointing. I got in touch with the owner who just fobbed me off! Chuck the manager was great with the booking payment etc so no worries there. I do agree it is in a great place, so close to shopping and a lovely little lagoon to swim in if you don't want to walk to far when it is hot. Also there was no electric kettle at the time and we had to boil up a pot of water for tea, microwave water just does not cut it. Perhaps another apartment would be better for future holidays for us as I would not trust the pictures on the Aloha Condo site. ”

Manager response:

“ Thank you for your review and we appreciate the feedback.

Our guests do sometimes stain the carpet and after several unsuccessful attempts to remove the stains by steam cleaning, we decided to replace the carpet with a simulated wood floor – it’s more attractive, and easier to keep clean. This was completed in November of 2008.

Although we have had no other complaints about the towels, our towels were replaced early this year (2009) when we brought in a new local contact and cleaning crew.

Both we (the owners), and our local staff make guest satisfaction a high priority. Guests are provided with contact information and we do respond to all our guest’s concerns. The recent positive responses from our other guests confirm that we are achieving this priority.

With Aloha,
Gary & Mary Appel, Owners, Ilikai Marina Condo 1188 ”

“ It's a beautiful apartment with a gorgeous view. I found everything within the apartment, such as kitchen equipment, very adequate. Ala Moana Shopping Centre is close by, which made self-catering easy, and there's a little supermarket just on the corner if you don't fancy a walk. Waikiki is also handy in the opposite direction but if you'd rather avoid it, you can. The apartment is also within range of a pay as you go wireless network, which was useful for me. I wish I could have stayed longer, and would happily go back again. Loved the constant view of the sky and ocean, and the marina below. The only draw back was the high cleaning fee. However, it meant that the apartment was in very good condition. ”

“ This tiny condo was perfect for us because we only sleep there, and enjoy walking to restaurants, beaches and parks. Too bad parking there is so expensive ($ 17.00 a day??) The kitchen could use a sharp knife or two for those of us who like to cook. Looked like they decided not to provide them because sommebody obviously used the formica counter as a cutting board. Beach towls and umbrella were a plus. Bathrooom remodel,impressive. Very quiet neighbors.Management needs to implement its well posted NO SMOKING policy to thr hired painters who worked all week when we were there and stunk up the parking garage which affected the hallways. ”

Great Location but noisy

Elvis Fan from Edmonton, Ab. Canada on 12/17/2009 said:

“ The location was great, the condo was adequate.They definitely need a new sofabed, it was very old and uncomfortable. The main problem we had was the street noise,coming from the bar below and the garbage trucks very early in the mornings. The building is quite old and could use some updating.Seeing cockroaches when we came out of the stairwell on the main floor was rather gross, considering that is where the restaurants are located. We would likely stay there again, perhaps on a higher floor. ”

Manager response:

“ The Ilikai Marina is in fact a quiet location. There is only a single lane access road separating the building from the beautiful Marina. The garbage truck comes and goes in the morning. If one is super-sensitive to sound the easiest way to avoid the truck noise is to shut the lanai door in the living room for that period of time. The bedroom is completely quiet if you shut the sliding door separating it from the living room. As the building is concrete construction there is no noise transfer between the units.

For sleeping the sofa bed is not as comfortable as the King size Simmons Beautyrest bed in the bedroom. However as sofa beds go it is extremely comfortable as a day time sofa. Extra foam has been added to make it more comfortable for a good night's rest.

The Ilikai Marina is always kept to a high standard of cleanliness. The ground floor has attractive landscaping, and is completely open to the outside, which is one of its charms. The building is treated for insects on a regular basis. ”

canadian from Vancouver, B.C. on 04/01/2009 said:

“ At first sight the suite looked great, comfortable and clean. Then we found some small bugs racing around the kitchen counter the next day. A couple of days later we saw a cockroach on the kitchen wall. We told the manager of the building and she gave us some bug traps which did nothing to get rid of them. We decided we would just avoid the kitchen and not let these critters spoil our vacation. After we came home we sent photos which we had taken of those bugs to the person/company that we had corresponded with to secure the rental suite. No real apologies came back. My advise to to find out if they did anything to the bug problem since November of 2007. ”

Manager response:

“ The condo is now under new ownership and management.

In the summer of 2009, the condo was completely renovated with all new furniture, new flooring, a new kitchen and a new bathroom.

“ We've stayed in this unit for a week and had a great time. The location is perfect, the view is beautiful. Parking is not a problem, we always found a spot in the free area nearby but if you don't, you can park in the attached garage for a fee. Waikiki beach area is walking distance, shops are walking distance. This is just a great little place to stay if you do not want to stay in a hotel or you want to save a little money. The unit is a bit outdated but clean, comfy and nothing was broken. You will find everything in the kitchen what you need for cooking. Bring beach towels though since those in the unit are small and not the best quality for water absorbtion. We highly recommend this unit to stay in, and we will deffinately return one day!!! ”

“ This condo was a breath of fresh air when you stepped inside, both literally and figuratively! What a wonderful view! With the lanai door and window open there was always a great breeze, and we didn't need the A/C. The condo is both well maintained and well appointed. A very nice kitchen and bath, beautiful cabinetry, very nice refrigerator, good furnishings and carpet (except the bedspread and dust ruffle which is badly fading from the sun)...it has a very comfy bed and pillows, good linens and towels. This is a very convenient condo, with easy to access parking (albeit expensive at $17/day and no monthly rate available as described). It's close to Ala Moana Mall, lots of different types of restaurants, shopping, beaches, parks, The Bus Stop, etc. From the living room and lanai of this corner condo you have a great view for the Friday night fireworks. We would definitely recommend this condo, and would stay here again! It's small... but perfect for a couple or a single person.. maybe even with a small child. The inside of the condo looks exactly like the online photos and description. ”

“ The best things I liked and enjoyed during my stayed was the view from the lanai and the left hand wall window. The beautiful sunset. I also like the furnitures, (the couch, the arm chair and the ottoman and the dining table set. The style, color and decor of these furnitures brings out the Island feeling. The location is excellent for people like me that don't drive. ABC stores was very convient, McDonald's is good for fast lunch and Red Lobster was great for dinner. The unit is alittle bit small, to me for myself would be perfect. For two (2) it's a little crowded. And That's the MAX.. What I was dissappointed when I noticed some dirty spots on the rugs as I enter the living area and I also noticed some discolored or rusted flaps, which that I thought it was dirty dust on the Air conditioner's vent. The TV was not working and I had no BIG TV to see for two nights. And finally NO table outside the lanai to put my drinks to enjoyed the ocean air. All and all I enjoyed my stayed and do recommend vacationers to stay at the unit I stayed #1480 instead of a Hotel, especially the conviences with the kitchen, where you can enjoy your delicious breakfast without changing your jammies. ”

Because it is located a ways down from Waikiki and faces the ocean, not Ala Moana Blvd., there is very tolerable street noise when the windows are open. The ocean sounds cover up 99% of the ambient sound. Some issues with bathroom wall electrical outlets - had trouble using my own hairdryer, and the condo hairdryer worked most of the time. Otherwise fabulous. We would definitely stay there again! ”

“ Ilikai Marina Condo 1480 was our first experience renting a vacation condo, sight unseen, using an Internet site. It was also our first visit to Honolulu. We hit the jackpot! Originally we tried to book Ilikai Marina Condo 1294 but it was not available for the dates we needed. My wife contacted Chuck Buser, the manager for the condo, and he suggested we take a look at Condo 1480 which was an end unit with a corner view and similar to 1294. We booked 1480 but we had no idea what a great favor Chuck had done for us. The information and pictures on the website were accurate and Chuck answered all of our questions and provided other helpful and useful information. The booking process was very easy and the follow-up from Chuck was great and his instructions/ directions were clear and easy to follow. The check-in process was easy and simple - open the lock box and open the door. The view from the condo is fantastic - A MILLION DOLLAR VIEW. The condo suited our needs perfectly and we found many little unexpected extras in the well equipped and appointed condo. It is also in a great location. We didn't realize until we got there how centrally located the condo was to most everything - within walking distance to beaches, parks, restaurants, shopping and even central Waikiki beach. On the street level of the condo building, there are four (4) restaurants, Outback Steakhouse, The Chart House, Red Lobster and the Harbor Pub & Pizza. Across the street was a McDonald's and a ABC Store for basic groceries and sundry items. We saved a lot of money making use of the well equipped kitchen and we had a priceless view for every meal that many restaurants do not have. We were told about the parking cost ($17/day) since we had a rental car but we were always able to find a spot close to the elevators and with our parking pass, coming and going was very easy and convenient. There is even a security guard on site. We had a wonderful time and thoroughly enjoyed our condo. We highly recommend Ilikai Marina Condo 1480, Aloha Condos and Chuck Buser. Mahalo ”

“ Condo 1480 at the Ilikai Marina complex was fantastic! The views were priceless and the amenities were wonderful. Everything was close by to make our stay comfortable. The ABC store was across the street for groceries as well as a MacDonald's The Charthouse on the first floor was an unexpected surprise and their bar and "puu puus" specials nightly were super reasonable and a great way of eating out without breaking the bank. It was a five minute walk to the beach and the beautiful lagoon is great for kids. On the other side is Ala Moana beach park and there was a fair going on when we arrived. The Ala Moana shopping mall is probably more convenient getting there by bus or car, it is 3 very long blocks away. We will definetly return for a longer stay! ”

“ We have enjoyed three memorable stays in 1480. It has a stunning view out over the water and is very comfortable and beautifully furnished. The location is great. This condo is close to Ala Moana Park and Ala Moana Shopping Center and is a doable walk to the hub of activity in Central Waikiki. ”

“ The condo has a great view of the ocean, very nicely equipped for creating your own meals, very clean and the property is very safe. Just like being at home, only in Hawaii. Very good rate also when we stayed there. ”

Exceeded Our Expectations

“ This was our first visit to Hawaii and we wanted to make it a memorable vacation by staying in a very nice condo. The photos on the internet looked fantastic...when we opened the door to the condo, it was as exactly as it was pictured. Our expectations were exceeded by the little items that were available to us...ice chest, beach umbrella, golf clubs, Hawaii books, etc. Close proximity to the beach with phenomenal sunsets...we will be going back! ”

Home away from home in Hawaii paradise

Pete & Mamiko from Tokyo, Japan on 04/01/2009 said:

“ This was our 3rd visit to Honolulu having previously stayed at the Hilton Resorts. We wanted a place more spacious and with a kitchen. Ilikai Marina was perfect. It has the best view of the ocean and the marina. It was cleaned, well equiped and tastefully furnished. The location was perfect as well within a few minutes walk to various beaches, parks, shops, restaurants and tourist attractions and yet quiet and peaceful at night. Our one suggestion for the owner would be to include parking. Our only complain was we could not stay forever. ”

We would absolutely recommend this to anybody comtimplating a short vacation in Honolulu. Aloha ”

“ this is our first time in waikiki beach and the condo is in a great location, close to the beach and shopping. the place is modern, clean and comfortable, it has everything we needed and the view of the ocean and the marina is great. we did have a few issues with the place, first the air condition was shut off due to the building is fixing the central air the whole week so it was hot for our entire stay (the owner should have told us before we go, it was a big surprise when we got there), it was so hot that we have hard time to sleep even with the fan on. also the sofa bed was very uncomfortable, one corner was sliding downward so we can't use it, my daughter just put the cusions on the floor to sleep. lastly, the street noise was very loud, maybe it's because we had to open the windows since the air condition was not working, but never the less, the unit is close to main traffic so we can always hear something. Overall, the place is nice, if the air conditioning was working, then our experience would be much nicer. ”

“ The location was great, right by the harbor. Walking distance to the beaches, but just far enough away from the hustle and bustle. The apartment was clean and tidy and looked just like the pictures. Overall, I was very satisfied with my stay. ”
