“ Mahalo to Gary, the condo owner for making sure that everything was great from beginning to end. The Ilikai Marina is in the perfect location for beach walking, park relaxing, world class shopping, fine and casual dining. On the perimeter of Waikiki, you get activity without crazy...it was such a lovely treat. We were born and raised on O'ahu, and coming and going from the Ilikai Marina is a treat. ”

“ We've just enjoyed a 3 night stay at Condo 1188 Ilikai Marina. The apartment was clean, modern and spacious. The bed was excellent and the view superb. The location was perfect, an easy walk to downtown Waikiki and also ala Moana centre where we caught public transport (The Bus) around the island and also to Pearl Harbour (go early - 7.30am, Arizona Memorial tickets go quickly). A tip...tell the airport cabdriver, it's Ilikai apartments on the marina not Ilikai Hotel which is two doors away. Thanks Gary for a wonderful stay. We hope to return. ”

Full kitchen with a full size fridge and all the amenities that are needed for a wonderful stay. Also a great view of fireworks going off during the weekend. Breathtaking views of the ocean and harbor. Sunsets amazing. Will definitely book with them again in the future. ”

Hilton Hawaiian Village is next door and ala Moana Mall is a ten minute stroll away. Clean and comfortable with a nice kitchen when you want to dine in. I would recommend the condo. ”

Perfectly located condo with great ocean sunset views.

JS from Long Beach on 09/29/2012 said:

“ My wife and I visit Oahu every year. We've stayed at a few other spots in Waikiki, as well a rental house in Kailua or with family. All spots were carefully researched and turned out great. What sets this condo apart is that it's perfectly located away from the busy streets of Waikiki, yet walking distance if you are that's where you want to go. Or you can walk the opposite direction towards ala Moana Mall and catch the twice daily happy hour Mai Tai Bar has to offer. Not to mention all of the shopping both places has to offer. Perfect area for runners around Magic Island and ala Moana Beach Park. The parking situation was good, $20 is the average rate throughout the city. But most nights we were able to find parking on Hobron Lane, Kaioo Drive, or ala Wai Blvd. Which is worth the walk to save some money. For those unlucky nights, we paid the $7/10 hour special parking lot price and ended up leaving a little early to travel the island. The condo was very clean and spacious. The Lanai is kind of small to have two people sit out there. So I ended up pushing the couch up to face outside and enjoy the sunset with my wife. And in the morning we could watch the surfers beyond the Marina. I would definitely recommend this condo to my friends and family. And will stay here again if it is available next year. Thank you! We had a great time! ”

Excellent apartment!

DonnaT from Sydney on 07/01/2012 said:

“ We stayed in Condo 1188 for 8 nights with our 7 month old daughter and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. It is a fantastic condo - great value for money and would not hesitate to recommend to others. It is slightly dated but exceptionally clean and everything works perfectly! Excellent wi-fi and free local calls which came in very handy. Great kitchen - well stocked with all the appliances you would need for a comfortable stay - perfect for us with our baby. Only issues were that it would be nice to have a high-chair for our child and occasionally noisy during the day (from trucks beeping while reversing on the road) when we were having naps but this was not often and just specific to us as we were travelling with a little one. Most of the time we were out and about anyway. The condo is extremely spacious and well located. Cross the road and there is an aBC convenience store and Red Lobster is downstairs. Short drive or easy walk to ala Moana shopping centre and Waikiki Beach, Like others have said, best to go to Walmart or Costco for groceries as Foodland is quite expensive. Short walk to the Hilton Hawaiin Village and fireworks on Friday night is great from the balcony! We stayed at the Hilton Hawaiin Village for a few nights after our stay in the Condo to try the 'Resort' experience and wished we had stayed longer at Condo 1188 instead. It is great value for money and very comfortable. Thanks Gary and Mary for sharing your condo with us! We will surely recommend to friends visiting Oahu! ”

An Excellent Condo -- Convenient Location and Beautiful View

Overall rating:
conference attendee from Edmonton, Canada on 06/16/2012 said:

“ I spent a week in 1188 while attending a conference at the Hilton Hawaiian Village -- a five minute walk. All of my friends were envious, as the Hilton is a bit like living in a busy shopping mall. The condo is clean and very well equipped and I enjoyed the beautiful view from the desk, as part of this was a working holiday. Two minor complaints: lack of toilet paper (2 rolls for a whole week) and not enough towels. These are easily remedied. Thanks to Gary and Mary for a wonderful stay in 1188. I'd definitely come again and I would certainly recommend this as an alternate place to stay if attending a conference at the Hilton. Much more economical and much saner. ”

19 days in paradise

Overall rating:
luth from Port Moody, BC on 04/06/2012 said:

“ We stayed here for our 19 day trip. It was great to have an apt. rather than a hotel. Location is great. Right near ala Moana Mall, the Hilton Hawaiian Village, ABC on the corner (of course). If you are here for two weeks + with a car, check into the part-monthly rate at the ProPark lot in the building. Very reasonable and the elevators go right from the lot to the floor. This unit had everything we needed for this family vacation. Kitchen is well stocked if you plan on cooking most of your meals like we did. Even has a rice cooker. Stop at Costco on your way from the airport or Walmart is only a mile away. There is a beach cooler and some ice packs so you can tote some drinks and /or lunch to the beach with you or on your day trips. At the time of our stay, the unit had a lot of beach toys, grass mat, 2 beach chairs to help out. We left some more grass mats and 5 boogie boards and an extra cooler to assist the next group. Beach towels are also provided in the unit. Both beds are comfortable. There is TV service, WiFi and an iPod dock/speaker system. Enjoy the Hilton fireworks right from your lanai with a Mai Tai. We got to do that three times. We would stay here again without hesitation. Shared lot of tourism tips in the guest book. We learned a lot from what others shared there so wanted to do the same. Thanks! ”

We took a trip to Costco for food and drinks and split the bill - that is the way to go as the local food market is really expensive. We found that the condo had literally everything we needed which was perfect. We did alot of walking to Waikiki which was good since we were eating and drinking alot! Lol. Thanks Gary and Mary! ”

Ala moana shopping mall is walking distance from the condo(takes only 10 minutes) and there is Mc.Donalds and aBC store just across the street. You can sweam at the llikai hotel pool for free. They have laundry on the 8th floor which cost $2 dollars. We had really pleasant stay and hope to visit this unit again. Thanks for everything Gary and Mary, you were wonderful and kind. ”

First time in a Condo

Overall rating:
Masa from Los Angeles on 11/11/2011 said:

“ I've been to Oahu many times and have stayed in hotels in Waikiki. Most of the hotels are nice, but the rooms lack any space. Since I have used aloha Condos for my stays on the Big Island, this time I stayed in one of their condos on Oahu. The Ilikai marina was built in 1968, but the building itself is kept fresh, though they could use new carpet in the hallway leading to the rooms. Room 1188 seems to have been updated recently and was a very nice place to stay. I did not use the kitchen to cook, but the appliances were also undated. It was so much more relaxing to be in this condo, as opposed to a hotel. There is at least 3 times the room as a regular hotel. I would probably have to pay 3 times as much for a hotel room with just as much space and ocean view. All in all it is a great value, you get an ocean view, friday fireworks in the Marina, and room to spread out in a condo that is fresh and clean. I can't wait for my next visit. One hit against the building, not the condo or owner. Make sure you tell the parking lot attendant that you want a residential pass before you pay the first time. They won't refund your money, even if you are asking them about it as they are putting the money in the register. ”

Very happy we picked this place for our holiday. ”

“ Our stay was very good like last time. We had a small problem when we arrived as the lock was recently changed and the code that we were given did not work. Hopefully, the local manager was very quick in responding and fixed the problem (Thanks Jim!). Another thing: the wi-fi did not work. There must be a problem with the password or something. Also, it was a little bit more noisy that last year (because of the Chart House Restaurant below). Hopefully, we were on the 11th floor. All in all, we had a very good stay. Condo well maintained, fantastic view, and very conveniently located. ”

ch from Salt Lake City on 04/20/2011 said:

“ Stayed for one week for a convention. About 10 minutes walk to the convention center and was very convenient to go east towards Waikiki or west to the ala moana park center and convention center. The condo was very clean. I paid for parking in the garage beneath it and it was very convenient if you wanted to go to places outside of Waikiki - highly recommended, much less crowded and beautiful beaches, hikes etc. The view over the harbor from the balcony was great. Nice ammenities with lots of storage, good shower pressure, nice kitchen, and good to have an ipod player too! Bed was very comfortable. Overall, a great experience and much more room and cheaper than a hotel room. There is no pool, gym etc at the condo, but who needs them when you can do everything outside! ”

Yuriy from Calgary on 02/16/2011 said:

“ We stayed for two weeks in Ilikai Marina. The condo is clean, spacious, and comfortable. It has almost everything you wish for holidays. The only thing we missed a bit is a dishwasher. The pictures truly represent condo and views from balcony. We liked that although it is located in the heart of Waikiki it is very quite. Aloha Condos was quick to respond on any queries. And if you like a quite beach and morning jogging it is only 15 minutes walk to ala Moana Park. Only few observations (and some of them not even related to the condo): 1. Smell in the hallways, probably because of old carpets or / and garbage room. 2. Better cleanliness of the apartment would be great. 3. As mentioned by one of the reviewer, recycling bins and explanations what can be recycled would be excellent (we don't want to keep destroying beautiful Oahu :)). Otherwise as I mentioned to Garry this was one of the best vacations in our lives. Definitely will recommend to our friends, and hope to return soon. Thanks Gary and Mary. ”

Manager response:

“ Thank you for your words, and we're glad you enjoyed yourselves.<br /> <br /> The carpets are cleaned on a regular basis and are scheduled to be replaced in the spring. <br /> <br /> It is our goal to provide an immaculate room for our guests. If anything has been missed please inform our local contact so that housekeeping can correct the problem immediately.<br /> <br /> Recycling bins and a garbage chute are located in a closed room at the west end of the corridor. We also provide a free canvas bag to each guest to reduce the need for plastic bags while shopping. ”

“ The condo was awesome, especially for returning locals who have a car. Top of the list was the 180 degree ocean view from Hilton lagoon to ala Moana park from the living room/balcony and the bedroom (watch their excellent video - it says it all). The place was very clean, bright with natural light, well furnished, had a large SubZero fridge which was perfect for freezing our local delights we always bring back to the mainland. It was very quiet being a residence/condo-tel building. The large parking garage directly below the condo was very convenient for going in and out. It was very well stocked on kitchen and dining stuff. It even had a nice rack of spices to cook with. The king bed was very firm, and the pull out sofa sleeper was very comfortable with a memory foam top - very nice addition. The web site was very well designed, and the follow up emails were very informative, clear and simple. My family was very happy with my "find" at this condo. We will definitely be back. Thank you very much to Gary and Mary appel who I have never met but feel like I know them through their well thought out traveler's haven and emails. Aloha and Mahalo. ”

“ This condo 1188 is really a fantastic place to stay. Extremely clean and well equiped throughout. The only things I would fault it on would be the drapes in the bedroom and living room need replaced as they are torn and takes away the atmosphere of the condo. Also the sofa bed is a little uncomfortable to sit on but as we were not there that often it did not matter that much to us. It is a very quiet place and the views are spectacular! Only a short walk to beach and lagoon. Shopping is a mere 6 minute walk to huge shopping centre. A wonderful stay. Highly recommended. Susie Sydney Australia ”

“ This was our second stay at the Ilikai Marina and we were happy with both condos we stayed in, 1188 and 17??. The view is fabulous, the marina side is quiet for being right in Waikiki, and having the full kitchen really made a big difference in our stay. The location is a close walk to Ala Moana Mall, the Beachwalk shopping area and Waikiki. Watching the sunsets, water activities (and Friday night fireworks)from our lanai while drinking some fabulous 100% Kona coffee was a great vacation highlight. On site laundry on the 8th floor was helpful too. Hint: The higher floors are better if you are noise sensitive as the great bar/restaurant on the ground floor marina side stays busy late. If we were to want to stay in Waikiki again, this is where we would book. ”

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 &amp; 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. ”

“ We have stayed in Ilikai Marina unit#1188 for a week,It was a fantastic trip. The ocean and marina&amp;lagoon view are gorgeous. Also with it is convenient location(10 mins walk to world famous Ala Moana shopping mall), and a few mins walk to the beach, and Ala Moana Park that is really make you feel like you are on vacation. Most of all, this unit is fully furnished,and completely remodeled that give you a warm feeling, seems like to stay in your own cozy home.I definitely will come back again and highly recommended to everyone to book this unit, especially the price is more than a decent price ”

“ We really enjoyed staying here--it has all the amenities we needed and a great location for both our sales and for R&amp;R. Right downstairs is the Chart House and they have great deals at Happy Hour for appetizers and drinks! The view at sunset over the marina is just gorgeous and comes up as a screensaver on my computer quite often. Bed was quite comfy an dit was nice to be able to have breakfast on our own. We will stay here again if we can. ”

 

Disappointing.

“ 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. <br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> With Aloha,<br /> Gary &amp; Mary Appel, Owners, Ilikai Marina Condo 1188 ”

“ We had spent a pleasant time at the Ilikai Marina Condo. This was the second time that we stayed here, for we loved this Condo very much. In front of the beautiful Marina, and next to the wonderful beach, we saw the sun-set everyday ! We spent the healthy time, for a walk and swimming. We enjoyed to relax on our vacation! Aloha, till next year and Mahalo, again!! ”

“ 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. ”

Manager response:

“ The condo now has free Wi-Fi (wireless) internet. ”

“ I sent my Son and His family there for Spring break. I lived across the street at the Tradewinds and knew people in the condos that is how I knew to contact Aloha My family is raving about their vacation. The condo was perfect except the coffee maker which did not work. I have reported this but no response from the owner or rental agency. The pullout sleeper was not comfortable but they took turns so no one had to sleep on it every night and all survived The condo is close to everything and a gorgeous view. No complaints that I know of and will rent again We will rent again ”

“ The coffee maker has been replaced. ”
