“ We love the location and the size of the condo. With full kitchen, big bed, nice size living room. it was perfect for the 2 of us. The only 2 things I don't like are: 1. It was very dirty under the furniture like bed and sofa. that needs to be cleaned. 2. The bed or the bed sheet smells (I'm not sure). We have to spray it at night and spread it out during the day. it's clean but there is a smell to it, I can't describe. The rest is all good. I would go back again. ”

“ Overall it was a good experience. The location is by far the best part of the condo. The amenities were good but not all that convenient. The condo was clean but it had a musty smell to it that lingered.It had items that you could use like body boards, snorkel gear, chairs and other handy things. That was nice to have. Overall for the price and location it was good. I would do it again. ”

“ Great condo! Gorgeous views. Second condo we've rented at the llikai Marina. Perfect location next to Modern Honolulu and the Hilton Hawaiian Village. Be sure to check out their Fireworks on the beach every Friday Night! Pre-pay parking at the garage. No pool but great beaches. Cute deck with outstanding views. We have found the llikai Marina to be a fantastic value and a perfect home away from home! ”

Patrick from Vancouver, Canada on 10/14/2012 said:

“ We stayed here for almost a week and really loved it. It was nice being in a touristy area with all the shops and stores, but having our own private oasis among it all. The place was wonderful to stay at and had everything we needed to feel like at home. Though the air Conditioner was not strong enough for my liking and it took a few days to get used to the warmer sleeping situation. But my partner had no problem with the warmth. But once I got used to it, it was great. The parking lot is connected to the apartment buidling, which was great for moving stuff in and out of the building. It is about a 15 minute walk to were all the action is, so not far, but perfect distance to not be right in it. The view! the view, this place has the most amazing view, whether it is watching the sunrise to sunsetting, it is a dream to look out at. Make sure you book a Friday stay as you can watch the fireworks from the balcony. Overall, we enjoyed it a lot and the host was very helpful with all inquiries. ”

Andrew from El Cerrito, California on 10/01/2012 said:

“ Condo unit has view of marina and away from the main part of Waikiki but close to Hilton Hawailian Village. Parking is available within the building for $20.00/day prepaid with in and out privilege. Parking on the right floor will make it easy for unloading as condo unit is just steps away without taking an elevator. Unit is clean throughout with kitchen well stocked with everything needed for cooking a meal including spices. 2 set of bath and beach towels available for use as well as beach equipment (chairs, boogie board, snorkel stuff). The only item that would have been nice to have is a cooler. Overall, good place for us. ”

NYC from NYC on 07/29/2012 said:

“ Walk to the beach and the mall. Nice location and good supplies, including beach towels and chairs, boogie board, etc. The sofa converts to a pull-out bed. Appliances are outdated but functioning O.K. Bathroom looked recently renovated. For families, this is a very good place to stay. 4 people can sleep comfortably. The owners manual says the condo guest can access almost all Ilikai hotel's amenities, but the hotel staff says a different story. We got kicked out of the hotel pool. Also, the condo is on the dock, so it is very noisy in early morning and at night as well due to the traffic, garbage trucks and the drunks at the pub located on the first floor of the condo. That helped us to start days early. Parking is $20 per day, so expect to pay additional fees.Otherwise competitive pricing. Overall, good experience. ”

Comfortable/great value near Waikiki Beach

3beachnuts from Selah, WA on 07/28/2012 said:

“ My family of 3 stayed in Condo 786 for a few days as we were passing through and catching some sights around Oahu. The owner/manager was very helpful getting us the information needed to check in/out. Condo was well stocked with beach necessities. Great location, 5 minute walk to Waikiki Beach without having to cross busy streets. Minutes away from all the Waikiki excitement...food, shopping, fun, just take the free Waikiki shuttle. We paid $20 a day for parking in the Ilikai's garage, which was well worth having our vehicle just steps away. ”

Ilikai Marina 786 is fine!

Kevin from Seattle on 06/25/2012 said:

“ My family enjoyed staying in this unit. It has what we needed. Having the full kitchen made life much easier as we could prepare the meals we wanted to prepare. This cut the potential food expenditures in half. It is well-equipped with a few additional beach items. Being well located between ala Moana Center and Waikiki was a bonus. I highly recommend this unit as a superb alternative to a crowded hotel room, or two hotel rooms. The owner, Mr. Shiralian, is considerate and friendly. He allowed us a late check out as the unit was unscheduled and our flight had a very late departure. Give this unit a try. I am sure you will be pleased. ”

“ My boyfriend and I stayed at Illikai Marina room 786 for 14 days. I highly recommend this place of stay for several reasons: 1. As a woman, I like my breakfast with all the amenities like a skillet, pots, utensils, etc. This room had it all! 2. The room was spacious and comfortable. I especially enjoyed the sunrise and sunset in the room... Just breaktakingly beautiful. 3. I don't think this room left out anything... We needed a beach towel and they had it! Awesome! I would definitely recommend this place to my friends and family. ”

ladytraveller5 from Ann Arbor. MI on 03/12/2012 said:

“ This condo is prettier than the pictures, and very well equipped.It's at the end of the Waikiki area, but still convenient to shops, restaurants, the beach, & the bus line. (About a 10 minute walk to ala Moana shopping center- buy your groceries there, as well as anything else you can possibly imagine). The bed was very comfortable, and when we had trouble getting the t.v. working,the local contact for the condo responded immediately & helped out. A great value for the money, although the cleaning fee (for a 3 day stay) seemed a bit high - but it is Hawaii, where nothing is cheap, and the daily condo rental itself was very reasonable. ”

Abhay from California on 02/23/2012 said:

“ The condo overlooks the yacht harbor. You can also see the ocean and Waikiki beach from the bedroom window. The unit is good for two to three people. The location is ideal for shopping, access to beach, dining out and other fun activities. Convenient location for tour bus pick-up (at Ilikai Hotel) across the street. Paid parking available attached to Ilika Marina. The condo is close to everything you would need; we did not need to rent a car except for one day. We did not use the kitchen much but it would help to have newer dishes. Bathroom is on the smaller side with only a shower stall. There is no tub in the bathroom. There was enough linens and pillows. The sofa bed was quite comfortable. Wireless internet is available and free. ”

Ideal view, location and value. The best Waikiki accommodation

Overall rating:
A McNeill from Cologne, Germany on 02/01/2012 said:

“ I've visited Waikiki 4 times over the years and stayed in various levels of accommodation namely the Waikiki Shore appartments, Sheraton Waikiki and the Outrigger on the beach. In my opinion the Ilikai Marina represents the best combination due to being an apartment with full kitchen, having a perfect unobstructed ocean+marina view, conveniently located between the Hilton lagoon and the ala Moana shopping center. Then there is of course the significant price advantage over a hotel stay or even other comparable apartments. The apartment itself is fully equipped with everything you could require. My only slight misgiving would be the size of the lanai which although serves its purpose is a little small (room for two chairs and a small table only). The other significant plus is the owner Shahin who is very easy to deal with and provides first class support for any questions or issues you may have. I would certainly stay in condo 786 again. ”

Rick from Brisbane, Qld. Australia on 11/03/2011 said:

“ My first visit to Hawaii was most definitely enhanced by our stay at Condo 786. Waking up to views across the marina to the ocean was a great way to start each day.Watching the fabulous sunsets from our lanai was a great way to finish the day. A small disadvantage of this western outlook was the sun streaming in during the afternoon necessitating drawing of the curtains. See-through climate control blinds would have been appreciated. Nevertheless, close proximity to beaches and shops of Waikiki, and pickup points (for local and tour buses) made daily activities easy and pleasureable.Our compliments to alice, the local manager,who handled a small maintenance issue with speed and coutesy. Email negotiations and contacts with the owner made the booking arrangements easy and personal. ”

Hawaii2011 from Lawrenceville, NJ on 06/06/2011 said:

“ My husband and I decided to book this condo during our first vacation to Hawaii for our anniversary. If you want to stay in Waikiki but don't necessarily want to be in the heart of all the action, then this location is perfect for you. Very convenient to ala Moana Shopping Center, Ala Moana Beach Park, Hilton Lagoon area, and more. The condo itself was great, with only very minor cleanliness issues (i.e. I had an item roll under the bed, and noticed it did not appear to be vacuumed under there - quite dusty). Other than that though, everything you could need comes with the condo: towels, sheets, beach chairs, a boogie board, wide assortment of kitchen items, roll of paper towels, 3 rolls of toilet paper, a bar of soap, and dish soap. Bottom line: I would definitely stay here again in a heartbeat when visiting Hawaii in the future. ”

Prince George BC Canada from Prince George BC Canada on 02/11/2011 said:

“ This condo provided everything we needed. The kitchen was well equipped. Bed was comfortable, as was the pullout couch. Be prepared to pay for the parking. Close to beach, park and shopping for walkers and right on the trolley transit route. Beautiful view of the ocean just over the tops of sailboat masts - not through them. The restaurant/bar below was not too loud to bother us and we actually enjoyed the sounds of jazz sax on a few nights while sipping a beverage on the lanai. Our only observation that could be changed is that the bathroom fan sounds a bit like a plane taking off- it is quite loud. The internet met all the needs of our 15 year old son and it was great to be able to make local calls from the unit. We had other family members come over for supper and the table expanded nicely - there are only six chairs so we had to improvise for the two others we needed. We were ther over New Years and it was great to be able to stay in the comfort of the condo and our own beverages to watch the fireworks from the lanai. The lanai is small only two people but there is plenty to see, susnsets. whales, surfers, planes, sailboats, birds, and of course there are always a few people to watch on the street below. We were glad that we chose the ocean view as the other view looking towards the mountains overlooked a parkade. the condo provided beach towels and we left a boogie board there,couldn't quite figure out the red beach chair. All in all yes we would stay there again. ”

“ We loved staying at Ilikai Marina Condo 786. It is located within 5min from Rainbow Hilton Tower and Hawaiian Village. Condo was neat and cozy. We were surprised to find more kitchenware that we could possible hope for and all needed beach supplies (towels, chairs, etc). Unit also had TV and unlimited WiFi access. Ac worked quite well. Laundry room was available in the building, but not on the same floor as condo. Would highly recommend, if you would like to spend quality time for less. ”

Kathy from Squamish, B.C. on 09/04/2010 said:

“ We really appreciated the location. We enjoyed a harbour/sunset view without paying the price of a hotel on Waikiki beach. It was convenient/close to the great bus system on Oahu. It was also within easy walking distance to the ala Moana shopping mall and the Waikiki strip. The bed was king size and comfortable - always important! The unit was spacious and comfortable. The lanai was very tiny and not really good for spending any time on, but the view was great. The kitchen was very functional but the stove wasn't working when we were there so a hot plate was provided. We had planned on cooking but couldn't really so eating out was necessary and that is expensive. The hot plate was not great as it took a very long time to boil water for a cup of tea! I also called the cleaning service as one of the bedroom side lamps was broken. She said no problem, but never came to fix or replace it so we had to move a living room lamp to the bedroom for the week. The cleaning service fee is way too high. ”

Manager response:

“ Thank you for your comments. <br /> <br /> Unfortunately the glass surface stove broke when another guest dropped a heavy object on it. <br /> <br /> To my surprise, there was no similar stove on the island and I had to order one and wait for it to arrive. ;-( <br /> <br /> I placed a hot plate during the wait period.<br /> <br /> Aloha,<br /> Mr. Shahin Shiralian, Owner, Ilikai Marina, Condo 786<br /> ”

July 2010 Visit

Andy from Roseburg, Oregon on 08/23/2010 said:

“ Had a wonderful time in this condo and its location met our needs very well. However the only "downer" was that when we arrived there was a note stating that the previous people had broken the stove and it was not available for use. We had planned on cooking all of our meals during our stay to minimize our vacation costs but were unable to. That's one of the reasons we prefer condos over hotels; the mere fact that we can cook our own meals instead of going out each time for a meal. The hot plate that was left for our use just did not cut it. So unfortunately we ended up with quite a sizable increase in expenditures that we had not planned for. Other than that, your condo was very enjoyable and we will certainly will want to rent it once again in the future. Thank you very much for making it available. Mahalo and aloha ”

Great location in Waikiki, very close to shopping and entertainment. Beach is just steps away and an incredible 180 degree view from the patio. The condo is clean, has a full kitchen, wireless internet and cable tv. The bed is huge and extra comfortable. The owner of thee unit is a real gentlemen, I assure you that. He will always try to make all your requests possible. I will be back in Unit 786 very soon. ”

“ A wonderful place to stay for spring break with my daughter, and 5 year old grandson. The views of the marina, ocean and sunset are unbeatable. The unit was very comfortable and spotlessly clean. It felt spacious and I liked the way one could always look out at the amazing view without being over-cluttered with too much furniture. The Lagoon and Beach were really close, and an easy walk for a 5 year old and so we could easily go to and fro during the day. It was really good value, and I would recommend this as a great place to stay for anybody ”
