1 Bedroom Ocean View Condo

Great View with Convenient Location

The Condo is situated a short walking distance from Waikiki Beach and has a great view of the Marina. Check in an Check out procedures were smooth and easy. The Condo is adequately equipped for a week or longer vacation stay. It has a full kitchen, King Sized Bed and Sleeper Sofa. The only recommendations I have would be to get rid of the carpet and go with tile flooring as it is much easier to keep clean. One of the glass panes on the Lainai door needs to be replaced and was covered with cardboard.

What a great find! I was a bit nervous about pre paying and the validity of the site but I needn't have worried. The unit was as described and the photos reflected reality.

The view was wonderful and the kitchen well furnished. Having an access code entry is great. No waiting at reception when you arrive (and depart) and no swipe cards to worry about.

We were two single adults traveling. Both the bed and the sofa bed were really comfortable and having a slider to close off the bedroom was great, it gave us privacy at night but opened up to a large room by day.

I'm not sure how comfortable it would be with more than two adults, might get a bit cramped but certainly our stay was wonderful and I am recommending Aloha Condos to all my friends.

AlohaWe selected suite 1304, firstly for its views and secondly for its central location – we were not disappointed.The suite is nicely appointed, comfortable bed, clean and well presented. The beach gear in the locker box on the lanai was an added bonus. For any one new to Honolulu, on Friday nights be sure to participate in the fireworks and Hula next door at the Hilton.We will more than likely return to Honolulu and there is no reason why we would not select suite 1304 again. Aloha Condos & Homes provided an awesome service. Their communications was first class and timely. We highly recommend these guys for your next booking.

We enjoy 1304 mainly because of the view and the central location. It is kept clean and has been updated. The afternoon can be hot, being in the direct sun, but the fan we bought, and left, took care of that problem. We have been coming to the Ilikai for several years, the last six or seven years in 1304. We look forward to it each year. It's a bit like coming home.

Condo 1304--Well equipped, wonderful views

Reviewed by Reginald

Date 09/16/2016

We really loved our stay in the Ilikai Hotel Condo 1304 for our vacation this year. Everything was as described. Kitchen was particularly well equipped including coffee maker, toaster, oven and microwave. Window views of the marina and ocean were great. King sized bed was very comfortable, and we had a choice of pillows. For early arrival before 3 pm, leave your bags with the hotel baggage storage on the main floor. Hotel pool is warm, free towels supplied, and a great place with kids, also.

Corner air conditioner tended to make that corner too cold and bed area warm. Fan helped the circulation of air.

We found the Foodland on Hebron to be the best place for all our food needs. There are also a nearby ABC and a store in the hotel. For dining, we loved the 24-hour Wailana restaurant at Kalia, the Cinnamon cafe for breakfast, and Red Lobster next store for seafood. The boardwalk that starts at the Hilton lagoon goes all along the beach down to the Outrigger. (The Hilton has a lot of restaurants open to the public, too) The Zoo and Aquarium at the eastern end of Waikiki are fun for children; we went by bus ($1 if you are 65) rather than walk the 1 1/4 miles. The beach at Ala Moana park is great for children as it stays shallow 100 ft out.(10 minute walk to the west)

We love this condo but were disappointed this visit in the limited supplies. No toilet paper beyond the initial roll...likewise with paper towels. Not even pepper in the kitchen...salt only. These items are not required, but since the ABC store across the street doesn't stock paper products, obtaining more was a pain. Seems to me an extra roll of t.p. would be nice. Maybe a single box of Kleenex, too.

Well appointed condo with beach chairs, rolly bag for beach and shopping, which we took advantage of on several occasions.Kitchen was super...only suggestion is to add a blender.The only reason we couldn't give a five star rating was the construction noise that disturbed the ambiance during the day...obviously not the fault of aloha condos or the owners..

My husband and I enjoyed our 10 day stay at the condo. The view from the lanai was breathtaking with rainbows and beautiful sunsets! The kitchen was well-stocked, the king sized bed comfy, adequate water pressure from the shower but no tub, lots of storage, good wifi, working AC and much needed fan was available. The complaints are minor: seating (sofa, bar stools, leather recliner was just okay) was uncomfortable (condo should hold 4 people but in my opinion is adequate for 2) Email sent ahead of the trip (asking about parking) was never answered and too many copies of rules, rules on the door, in every email, and even one about taking off your shoes... rules, rules, rules... Did not give me the feeling of aloha. Nothing personal from the owner made the condo feel more business than being invited to someone's home but again, that's minor. We were visiting Hawaii, not the owner of Condo #1304.

We would recommend The Ilikai Hotel and Condos to family and friends.

A Top Hawaiian Experience

Reviewed by Gene & Carol

Date 09/11/2015

Completely satisfied and beyond expectations. Would be 5 stars but there ARE superbly plush sites in Hawaii if coin no object. This was the best check-in procedure and hotel room access we can recall, without the tour bus mobs that inflict even the most pricey competition.

The room site and furnishings were handsome and delightful, and the owners had been truly thoughtful in providing for all reasonable contingencies. We felt that we had been invited to a friend's vacation digs. The ocean and Honolulu shore views across the yacht harbor from the broad sliders and balcony were grand.

We have always enjoyed the Ilikai site (from 1966), and consider the access to Waikiki, Ala Moana and proper restaurants just fine.

It was too (and unusually) hot for late August, with even the natives wilting, but the 1304 site did well (the sliding terrace shutters an appreciated plus.

We do hope to inhabit 1304 again in the future, and will specifically request it.

We've stayed in this condo a couple of times and have enjoyed it both times. It's technically. One bedroom, but with sliding screen doors opens up to be a large studio when there are just the two of us. The kitchen is complete and open to the living room. Condiments and such are minimal so plan to pick up your own spices, etc. we love looking out over the yacht harbor from every room! The sofa can sleep more people if you have kiddoes with you. Nice but not pretentious. Casual comfort. We start with this one every time we search.

As we were there during a very hot and humid stretch in August we found the window A/C unit could not quite keep up but the stand up fan provided circulated air quite effectively.We did not discover the restaurant in the hotel (cinnamon's?) until the end of our stay which is unfortunate as we would have had more meals and drinks there.

We located this unit on the aloha Condo web site. The booking & check-in/check-out process was one of the smoothest that we have ever had. The unit was exactly as was depicted with the pictures & details. The view was awesome. We love watching boats & planes, so spent many hours on the lanai or opened the curtains wide and had the same view from nearly anywhere in the unit. Yes you could hear the planes/boats but to us that just added to the charm. Hotel has everything you need. Short walk to bars/restaurants/shopping/etc & all of our tours picked up in front of the hotel. The smoked detector started beeping on the first day, so a quick email & prompt reply had someone replacing the battery that same day. As stated in one of the reviews, the bathroom is a little dark. I just put my make-up on in the kitchen or on the lanai. This issue could be easily fixed with a quick change of the bathroom light fixture. We would definitely book this unit again.

There was a small area above the closet that looked damaged and some damaged floor tile. I was a bit worried someone would think I did that so I took photos of the damage, just in case. Of course the whole unit could use remodeling or updating, but it was certainly livable. Really wish there was a workout room available, nearby.

We were in town for a soccer tournament for 10 days with my family of four. There are two adults, a very tall teen and a tween. The condo was just the right size for what we needed. It had everything we needed as well. The kitchen was stocked so we could cook, there were containers and wrap for the food (which is nice and saved us a huge expense). The only thing that I have to comment on is the bed is listed as a King and it is clearly not. We have a King size bed at home because my hubby is 6'5" and he hung off of the bed in this condo. The bed was comfy though and we still had great night sleep. The condo is at the end of the Waikiki beaches which was nice because it wasn't right in the heart of things...but yet walking distance to everything.

From beginning to end, every need was met. We were glad we had a harbor view. That is why we picked Unit 1304. Everything we needed was in the condo. The only "problem", for lack of a better word, was that at first we thought the only place to purchase food was an aBC store, where milk is $10 a gallon; however, we found Food Land after a couple of days, which was much more affordable. We didn't eat at the condo that much, but we preferred to spend our $$$ on activities instead of food from a "minit market". The staff was very attentive. We had a five-hour gap from check out until our plane left, and the bellmen were more than glad to store our luggage for a nominal fee so that we could make one last spin to the shops and to eat before we headed to the airport. He even scheduled ourshuttle to the airport. Bring lots of "tip" money. The Ilikai is perfectly located if you like to walk, which we did. We could be in the hub of things in five minutes. Our unit was clean and nicely decorated. It was very quiet, too, but the best part is the million dollar view. It's not the fanciest hotel/condo, but all services that are offered at the high end hotels were offered to us at the Ilikai.

Perfect location for condo, and a very quiet floor, unit is pretty sound proof, can not hear other tenants through the walls or ceiling. Supplies are plentiful in the unit, coffee filters, laundry detergent, linens, beach towels, beach chairs and a great little kitchen with whatever cooking utensils and appliances you may need. No need to bring your hairdryer, their's is just fine. Also a bill changer by front desk for washer and dryer located a few units from 1304. See the concierge early in your stay,to book activities so you will not be disappointed. Have breakfast at the Wailana coffee shop, pancakes are terrific with coconut syrup-did Ihop once and back to Wailana. Also Shorebird in the Outrigger is great for breakfast as they look right over the beach and have a great breakfast buffet, check for the coupons in "This week Oahu".This unit is best enjoyed with 1 couple, it would be quite crowded with more than 2 people. There is a sofa bed, but very close quarters concerning privacy issues if more than 2 people. On the lanai there are aluminum sliding sun shades, use them in the afternoon to shade the lanai, works great in the cooling of the lanai. The hotel bar and grill is good to. Short walk to the mall, easy walk to Waikiki hotels and shopping. Hilton Lagoon area has a great beach with a great view of Diamond Head. Find a tour to the north Shore, much to see there and check out the Byodo-in Temple, it is a scale replica of a 900 y/o temple in Japan. If snorkeling, try Ocean Joy Cruises, great catamaran and if you don't see dolphins (guaranteed) you can go for another cruise-book early in your stay, so you will have opportunity to go again,(free) sometimes the dolphins are sleeping!

Thoroughly enjoyed our honeymoon stay at the Ilikai condo! My wife and I stayed here for 4 nights and thought it suited our needs perfectly. It had a nice condo-like feel with a good view on the 13th floor of the marina and beautiful sunsets, although no beach view really. It was clean and very well furnished with all the amenities we needed. The location was great for exploring Waikiki which we drove to a few times and also walked to a few times since it didn't take too long. Could walk to a good beach directly via hotel beach access, but we ended up using some of the other beaches anyway. Minor issue I had was parking which is not included, I would recommend parking at the marina which was something like $15 every 24 hrs. I would say if you want an affordable stay near the main strip of Waikiki, then I recommend this place!
