1 Bedroom Ocean View Condo

A wonderful November in 1304!

Reviewed by Louise and Lawrence

Date 12/21/2018

This was our first ever extended getaway to a warm climate; previous trips to the sun have been for a mere 7-10 days. We chose Honolulu because we knew that if needed, emergency health care would be reliable and it is an easy, nonstop flight from Vancouver. In a previous visit in February, we checked out many condos near Waikiki and chose the Ilikai because of it's proximity to the water and to shops for groceries, the buildings are well-cared for, as well as the location away from the madness of Waikiki. 1304 has been lovingly well-maintained and the owners obviously care about their suite and the comfort of any guests. We had most meals on the lanai (it was such a lovely place to eat breakfast and supper, why would you go to one of the overpriced Honolulu restaurants?) and found we could prepare simple meals quite readily with the implements and dishes provided in the kitchen. Thank you! For two people, 1304 was perfect. We enjoyed the various entertainment offered by the hotel on Fridays and Sundays, although could have done without the much-hyped 3 minutes of Hilton fireworks on Fridays. The beautiful sunsets are all that you need. Yes, you couldn't avoid the music but it always ended early so was not a disturbance; nor was the loud yoga instructor at the hotel next door a problem! One has to be realistic about what your are likely to experience at a downtown condo that happens to be on the beach. We only had noisy neighbours once for a few short hours.Only complaint was with the way the Ilikai handled a fire alarm one night at 1230 a,m.; we had to evacuate but were never told what exactly happened, and even after finally getting the "all clear" over the loudspeaker, the alarm continued to go off for about 2 hours telling us to get out. Very confusing! Ilikai needs to get their act together; a fire alarm is a serious issue when there are elderly people and families with small children in the building.One addition to the unit would be a shopping cart on wheels that one could use for grocery shopping. A pineapple is heavy to carry home, along with other groceries, so such a cart would be most desirable. But thank you for the many cloth shopping bags. Groceries are quite pricy in Honolulu, but goes with it's idyllic island location.Thank you to 1304 owners and to Aloha Condos management! Well done!

This condo has everything you need for a self catered holiday. The bed is super comfortable and the location is ideal if you want the ‘quieter’ end of town, beside the beautiful lagoon and eye catching marina. The beach is an easy 5 min walk and the Ala Moana shopping centre is just 2 blocks away. The bus stop for all attractions is at the front of the hotel. I loved my stay here and would highly recommend it for couples and young families.

This was a great stay. The Ilikai is within walking distance to Waikiki beach, but just outside the whole hustle and bustle. Lots of options to eat -- you can walk to the mall for an amazing food court, or just stay right around the hotel.

The bed is super comfortable, and we enjoyed sitting on the deck with coffee in the morning and wine in the evenings.

The only suggestion I would make is to replace the mats in the bathroom with something absorbent. The kitchen mats in there now would remain wet for quite some time after a shower, which often made for a surprise if you went in there at night.

The convenient location near AlaMoana shopping mall and tour buses stops... was right at the doorstep. There was the ocean and yatch view direct from the lanai.

Wonderful stay in 1304. Well maintained unit overlooking my old digs at the marina. Got in some great swims at the magic island lagoon, and enjoyed mostly outstanding weather. In the heat of summer I think an east facing unit might be preferable but in January this one was perfect! It even has louvered screens for a bit of shade when needed and a nice fan to augment the tropical breezes and a super comfy stressless style recliner to take it all in in comfort. One complaint if you could call it that, it would be nice if the wifi code was written in big letters/numbers on a piece of tape on top of the box, maybe with a big arrow pointing to it!

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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! View Hilton fireworks on Friday evening from Ilikai courtyard.

Instantly felt like home...

We recently stayed at the Ilikai Condo Unit 1304 What a great choice. The view from the Lanai was spectacular. We saw it all...surfers, joggers, boats...sunsets and the ceremonial conch blowing for the torch lighting every evening. The condo was clean and spacious and it's obvious that the owners take great pride in the care, decor, supplies and up-keep of their condo. The transportation available right outside was great with trolley, bus and cab service always available. The hotel was great...the pool, the store,the grill restaurant...loved this unit and will stay here again. Diamond Head background photo opportunity around the corner on the beach and home of Hawaii 5-0 opening film shot --Loved it all and was blessed to have our young adult kids come and enjoy this memory of a lifetime before going back to college and starting a new job. Thank you Kat for your assistance in lining this all up for us. Mahalo and looking forward to another stay in unit 1304 next year.

Condo # 1304 is awesome. Check in was a breeze. It was nice not worrying about "who has the condo key ". The location, value & ammentities are an a+. The owners have thought of everthing ~ We enjoyed coffee on the lanai that overlooks the marina & ocean. Food extras were right across the street ( ABC store & McDonald's ). Great sandwich & wrap bistro also close. It was ideal ~ thank you for making our 10th anniversary very special !!

Good

Condo 1304 was nicely furnished but lacked a small table inside for eating. The condo could use a bathroom vent and one over the stove. Room was light and airy and had a great view of the harbor. We would stay here again.

Beautiful View

The unit was absolutly wonderful. Well supplied with cooking equipment although we did not cook. But plenty of wine glasses and plates and such. The bedding was like a cloud, I usually wake up tired from an unrestfull night but not here.Bath was not cramped and very clean nice size shower. The bedroom divider did not make noise when closing so my wife could continue to sleep while I got up to make a cup of coffee,no sqeaky doors or drawers. Ac worked great. We will try to book here again knowing what we are getting, wish we could book two years in advance, that's our frequency.Only wish we could have checked in sooner 3:00pm seems like a loss when we could be enjoying the room should be closer to 1:00pm,:-(

Great Vacation

The unit was reallywell furnished;the chairs sofa and bed very comfortable and must be quite new. As well, there were some touches such as a beautiful writing desk, and book case, which added a lovely intimate feeling with the owners. Of course the view is outstanding of the marina,Ala Moana Park and beach, and we enjoyed the sunsets every evening. The kitchen is equipped with a microwave/convection oven, toaster, coffee-maker and stove top, plus all the dishes, utensils, and pots you would ever need to put out a meal.The bathroom is in great shape, and we enjoyed the shower,being very spacious. The owners have not stinted on making this a very comfortable unit. We were able to keep in touch thanks to the internet service.

We would definitely want to stay at 1304 again.

Great waikiki experience

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!
