“ The view from 1590 is impressive, morning, noon or night. Our 3 night stay was let down as we were not advised at booking or when we arrived that the water would be shut off all of our first day. This would not normaly be a problem if advised in advance but after a long night flight we woke up to no water for showers, flushing toilet or even a cup of tea, not what you want on your first morning when you are still jet lagged and unfamilar with your surroundings. We would not have booked our 3 night stay if we had known in advance and would not of paid the full price. It is my guess that this was why we were not told at the time of booking and not even a note was left in the room ”

Awsome views, convenient & well maintained

Momo from Cologne on 05/06/2013 said:

“ Condo 1590 is a very nice appartment on the 15th floor of Ilikai Marina, guaranteeing you awesome views towards the harbour (straight), the Hilton lagoon (left) and ala Moana Park (right). It is a nice 15-20 minute walk to the main waikiki strip but very close to some aBC stores, where you can stock up on some groceries as well as numerours restraurants. Tip: There is a larger supermarket called "food pantry" within walking distance on 438 Hobron Lane. Parking is very convenient (20 $ per day) and the elevator takes you directly to the 15h floor. The 4-digit key code that opens the condo-door is also very handy as you do not have to get and return any keys. The kitchen is remodeled and the bed super comfy. The only minor criticism would be the bathtub that is a bit dated and could use a makeover. Apart from that, the condo has the perfect size for one couple and I would highly recommend it to everyone who is searching for good comfort with a 5 star view in Waikiki. ”

Illikai Marina Condo #1590 from Vallejo on 04/10/2013 said:

“ This attractive condo was perfect for our family of 3 (2 adults and a teen). The views of the harbor from the living room and balcony and bedroom were fabulous. The kitchen was well stocked with necessities and we ate a few meals there. The bedroom was separated from the living room by a sliding wall-door. The location of the condo was great -- steps away from the Waikiki beaches and fabulous restaurants -- and a short walk to the mall as well. It was a very good location too for my husband's business meetings in Honolulu. We would definitely stay there again! ”

Perfect for sunset views

VidaBoheme63 from Kronberg im Taunus, Germany on 03/17/2013 said:

“ Ilikai Marina #1590 was the last condo on our recent trip to Hawaii, and it was love at first sight. The description from the rental agent was really helpful and we found the Hotel easily. You can park directly in the complex; for hotel guests it's 20 $ per day. So it was just a short trip to the elevator and up to the 15th story. What a view! The Marina directly below and Waikiki to our left. Every night we stood on the tiny lanai and toasted the sunset. The condo is just big enough for two, obviously recently renovated, clean and comfortable. The bed was a bit firm, but still okay. There are serveral abc-stores within a few minutes walking distance where you can stock up on groceries, the Shops at ala Moana are two bus stops or about 15 minutes walking distance, where you can stock up on absolutely everything... Waikiki Beach with its shops and restaurants wil take about ten minutes walking - and what a beautiful evening stroll it was, under the full moon *sigh. Tip: try the "Red Lobster" downstairs, we absolutely loved our dinner there! ”

Our Stay at Ilikai Marina Condo 1590

Overall rating:
Jacquie from Huntington Beach CA on 03/03/2013 said:

“ We just got back from our wonderful family vacation in Hawaii. Our stay at the Ilikai Marina condo 1590 was a pleasant surprise. The apartment was clean and the views were beautiful, but there were a lot of upgrades which made the condo much nicer than we thought; Starting in the kitchen there was a brand new toaster, new kitchen towels and I believe the coffee pot was pretty new too. The living room chair is new, and there is a beautiful brand new dining room set, the bed had a nice new comforter, sheets, and pillows, and was a lot more comfortable then I thought it would be from reading past reviews. The Lanai is small but not a big deal, we just moved one of the chairs and little table out of the way so we could go out there and enjoy the gorgeous views of the rainbows over the marina, the lagoon by the Hilton, and the breath taking sunsets over the ocean. One of my favorite assets was the front door entry...it has a 4digit code that Kat gives you before you get there, to lock and unlock, so you don't have to worry about those card keys that I always tend to loose on vacation. Thank You to Kat and Jim for everything the only bummer is I forgot my free tote bag. ”

Unit 1590 suited our needs perfectly

dayrae13 from Edmonton, Alberta on 02/08/2013 said:

“ We lucked out finding this rental for the first part of our honeymoon. Every morning we opened our curtains to look out over the marina and we saw some really nice sunsets from there. It was a little disappointing that the lanai was so small but we made the best of it. It was in a great location too, not right on the beach but a short walk away from all the hustle and bustle. It was convenient to hit the store, the Pro Bowl activities that were going on in the Hilton Hawaiian Village as well as access to our friends who were also staying at the Hilton. We couldn't have asked for anything better for the price. If there was one other downside I would say the bed was too hard, but that is personal preference I guess. ”

A touch of aloha Rm 1590

Overall rating:
Rick & Lana from Patchogue, New York on 01/24/2013 said:

“ This was our first stay at the Ilikai Marina Rm 1590, but not our first visit to Hawaii. Pricing was excellent, location, the best, for my wife and I love to work out and stroll around ala Moana Park in the early morning and at night. Waikiki beach is also an easy stroll away. Room 1590 is a single bedroom ocean and marina view, my favorites. Quiet and relaxing with a functional kitchen and living room, it is a great location which I will return to again. The Lani is very small and a bit crowded with the plastic lawn chairs and table. I personally didn't care about this for my wife and I toasted the setting sun each and every evening giving thanks for another wonderful day. During January, the sun shines very brightly into this apartment making it hot,making going onto the Lani impossible until the Sun starts to set. Closing the curtains brings back a more comfortable setting. The bathroom is a standard bathroom nothing fancy, watch the towel rack on the wall, it will pull off if you try to pull a towel out of it..no big thing, just snap it back in place. The bedroom has a queen size bed which is comfortable, the pillows are lacking substance and are thin, so doubling up with two pillows helps. Storage in this room is good. The living room has a foldout sofa bed which is OK to sit on, lying on the sofa pillows gets uncomfortable after a while due to the gap between the pillows on the chair. The single wicker chair pillows are old and very uncomfortable to sit on. I recommend new pillows for that chair, then all would be great. Tv works fine. Beach supplies can be found in the front closet near the kitchen which saves you from buying these items for the beach. Overall my wife and I enjoyed our stay at the Ilikai Marina Condo. We parked in the parking garage on parking level F, 4th floor because there was never any problems finding a parking spot and the elevators are easy to get to. Enjoy your stay at Rm 1590, we did,and will again. Aloha ”

“ The location was great for the conference we were attending at the beginning of our stay. The last 4 nights we visited with family and took a drive around the island. Our room was quiet and very comfortable. We did not cook, but it was nice to have it stocked with everything we would need if we wanted.** The connection to the internet needs improvement. The cords need to be replaced. We traveled with our own so it was not a problem. Plan to shop for groceries before you arrive at the condo, you are in a resort zone, so no food stores nearby. Watching the Friday night fireworks was a nice surprise! ”

Suzanne from Sydney, Australia on 01/23/2012 said:

“ My friend and I had the pleasure of staying in apartment 1590 recently for one week. Kat, who it was organised through was extremely professional, very proactive and had provided us with all the information we needed. Arrival was so easy and well explained by Kat and we were so impressed with the spectacular sunset view from the lanai. Yes, it is small, but that was expected due to previous comments we had read. My friend found the queen size bed extremely comfortable in the room and I found the sofa queen bed really comfortable for me too. For us this apartment was ideal as we had wanted two separate sleeping areas, a nice view and we wanted a place not too far from Waikiki action- though not amongst the hustle and bustle either. This was perfect. We were able to do 15 minute power walks along the beach to get into Waikiki Beach, though had the option on a $7 cab ride in if we wanted to as well... We will definitely be recommending this apartment to friends. Thank you Kat for being so efficient also... ”

super_fast_eddie from Canada on 09/10/2011 said:

“ The condo was very clean and basic, well stocked with many handy items for use on the beach, such as straw mat, boogie board, etc. Very nice scenery. The hallway is a little bit run down but acceptable. Easy access to aBC Store and eateries, almost walking distance to the large mall and Wakiki Beach. The firework on Friday night at 9 was quite spectacular. Parking is not as convenient, the parking below was $7 for 10 hours or you pay $20 for the whole day. Free parking on the left hand side is only for a maximum of six hours per day. The meter is a dollar per hour. ”

Marlene from Foster City, CA on 09/04/2011 said:

“ The view was excellent - the best part of the experience, but there were numerous problems. The deadbolt key did not work--difficult to deal with for the new and tired arrival. The bed was so hard and uncomfortable that my husband had to sleep on the pull out sofa (first time he has ever slept away from me). There was no flat sheet for that bed. The coffee pot was too small for the coffee machine so didn't release the coffee. But Jim and Kat responded and resolved problems immediately. But why so many problems?? We expected a relaxing vacation, not a series of problems to resolve. ”

Manager response:

“ Thank you for noting that your concerns were addressed immediately.<br /> For a follow up, the dead bolt that you had trouble with was replaced with a new keyless electronic entry security system.<br /> <br /> For Guests that need a softer mattress, we added a mattress topper to the inventory.<br /> <br /> Every rental is supplied with a complete set of sofa sleeper bedding located in the closet.<br /> <br /> We replaced the coffee maker on the same day with a new coffee maker.<br /> Our staff is always ready to help with any of our Guest's concerns. ”

So it's just a bit dated and you don't have housekeeping service daily but I had access to a washer and dryer (&amp; they are available here on the property). You have an amazing ocean view &amp; Hilton Lagoon view which can't be beat &amp; the parking garage and things to do are right down stairs and you can't beat that! Consider this place it is well cared for! ”

Far enough away from the noise of busy Waikiki beach but still central to transport, shopping and sightseeing. The room was clean and tidy and great value for money. The view from the balcony is to die for. We will definitely be seeking Kat for another booking again in the future. ”

Happily, Condo 1590 was available for the dates I needed on a short notice. The place was perfect for what I needed. It is clean and has all the necessary requirements for my stay. Being on the 15th floor allows you to see everything. I will stay there again when I come back to Hawaii. Great for the money! ”

I liked the fact that we were privded with beach towels, beach chairs, umbrellas and mats. The only negative for us was the size of the balcony. We love to sit out on a balcony and see the water, however it really is only big enough for one person. This is our only disappointment. ”

Gerald Jackson from Copenhagen, Denmark on 04/08/2011 said:

“ Our stay at Ilikai Marina Condo 1590 for a week at the end of March 2011 was an outstanding experience marred only by the accidental severing of the water mains by road constructors (happily only hours before we shifted out). Checking in and out was painless (not least because of the detailed information supplied beforehand) and the condo itself was perfect for our needs. Moreover, with a balcony looking out of the waterfront, this was indeed a case of experiencing Waikiki in the front row but at an affordable price. ”

“ This condo was exactly as it was described on the website. It is not new and glamorous but was very clean and a reasonable price. The fully equipped kitchen saved us a lot of money in meal costs. Communication with the property manager prior to arrival was great! The only negatives are minor: 1. the lockbox on the door for the keys was a cylindrical combination lock, not with buttons as described in the arrival instructions. 2. The bed in the bedroom was quite hard and uncomfortable. 3. Read the instructions on the back of the front door for the correct instructions on connecting to the wireless. Other than these small quibbles, it was a positive experience. ”

“ Booking through alohacondos.com was easy and flawless. The unit was as advertised, very clean, well appointed, comfortable and had everything we needed. It made for a very relaxing, easy holiday. Great views and sunsets from the balcony overlooking the marina. It's not located in the thick of Waikiki beach (the sandy beach is a short walk away), but is much better value than the hotels there, and for our family, it's nicer to have a "home" to hang out at. Very convenient walking distance to the huge ala Moana shopping mall, which has everything you might need. ”

Condo 1590 from Tewantin Queensland Australia on 09/28/2010 said:

“ We have just returned from our stay in Condo 1590. All I can say is the view is impressive. The condo on a whole is comfy&amp; clean, the kitchen has been revamped, so cooking is no hassle, bathroom adequate. Waking to the view, of ocean,boats,people in water,planes,ships it never stops,but that adds to the atmosphere of this apartment. We didn't dine out, instead we bought dinner at Red Lobster (next door), drinks from the aBC store across the street, raced upstairs &amp; sat at the table &amp; watched the lights of the surrounding area. The fireworks on Friday night (8pm) what a bonus. The downside - the bed was hard. The added touches of tote bag, pen &amp; notepad - very handy, chocolates on the bed, also the use of beach towels &amp; umbrella - very thoughtful. We actually stayed twice in the same apartment on return trip from Big Island. Also the booking agents were very helpful &amp; willing to answer all your queries. ”

I should not have been worried; my family (including my 85 year old aunt!) had a great time! They had nothing but good things to say about the location, the views, and the care from the management staff. They made me more jealous that I didnt get to go! :) It is apparently close to the heart of downtown with easy access to restaurants, groceries and shopping and the views are great. I am looking forward to staying here when next I go to Hawaii. ”

“ The unit exceeded my expectations...not new but well maintained and very clean. The bed was very comfortable and the view was spectacular! Fortuantely I was there during a full moon and the moon over the ocean and the lights in the Marina below was something like you would see on a postcard. The location was perfect. Very central to everything. I didn't have a car so I avoided the $17/day parking charge by using the city bus and trolley system. You can get everywhere you want to go on the island for a very minimal fee. Went to Pearl Harbor for $2.50. The Fireworks at the Hilton on Friday night were spectacular. Traveling alone I felt very safe with the security guard on duty down stairs. Kat is my hero. She made my first trip to Hawaii the best experience I could have ever hoped for from answering all my questions promptly via e-mail before I booked the room to calling me after I arrived to make sure I had everything I needed.

The lanai is small but the view was fantastic! We watched the waves in the morning over breakfast while we planned our day and saw the beautiful sunsets in the evening. The fireworks display at the Hilton was great. Just grab a cooler and step out on the lanai and watch the show. The location is excellent, right by the beach. Shops and restaurants are less than 5 min walk.We had requested a late check-out, which is a nice option, but even with that we would have to sit at the airport for hours. I phoned our local contact person, Kathaleen and asked if we could possibly leave our bags at the unit or where we could pay to leave the bags. To our great pleasure Kathaleen informed us that the unit was not booked for the day and we could use the condo until we had to leave. Wow! Kathaleen you rock! We had a fantastic time time at the Ilikai Marina. Aloha, ”

A fully satisfied customer from Portland, Oregon on 05/27/2010 said:

“ I ended up in Honolulu by myself with family members staying at a hotel on the strip. I felt my accommodations were far better than theirs, and for about the same price. I had a gorgeous view of the Gilligan's Island marina, they had a view of the roof of an adjoining building. They were smack in the middle of the touristy area, I could get to it and away from it at will, which I loved. The staff at aloha Condos could not have been more helpful and bent over backward to take care of me. Also, you are right next to the Hilton Complex, which is huge, and easy to access. You can use their stores and restaurants, and their beach, and no one bothers you. It is kind of fun to watch all of the weddings that constantly go on during the weekends. The closest Starbucks is also over there. Proximity to their grounds more than made up for the condo not really having much of a lobby area...and they have fireworks on Friday evening which are really close to this condo. A couple of hints. Don't rent a car and don't use the cheesy tourist trolley: it is way overpriced! Also, you'll spend all of your time trying to find parking in the Waikiki area. The city bus is easy to use, especially if you have Google maps on a PDa. Each trip is $2.25, and if you make them give you a voucher for the return trip then that is for free. $17 a pop to keep a car overnight seemed high, and aloha Condos makes sure that everyone understands that cost. You can rent a car in three separate places near the condos if you want to tour the island for a single day or two. Don't take it into the downtown areas at night...oh, and they have a guard on duty at the harbor condos every single night. I really appreciated that! Felt safe everywhere but downtown Honolulu (not the tourist strip, but over where the government buildings are) in the evening, even though it was still light out (had a function I had to attend). ”
