My family and I stayed here in July and found the accommodations to be very nice and the view to be spectacular. Everything was as it was advertised and very clean. The only recommendations I was would have for the owners is that that they have more bath towels available to use and that they replace the pillows. Also the sleep sofa is not that comfortable. It might make sense to replace the current sleep sofa mattress with a memory foam mattress. Overall we were very happy with our stay.

Fantastic hotel Condos! Room had great view, comfy beds, great AC, kitchen was everything we needed, bath room was very nice with great water pressure in showers and no wait time for hot water. Balcony had great view. Owners provided everything we needed including: beach towels, beach umbrellas, beach chair and cooler, boogie board and float.

Lobby was super nice. Walking distance to everything. Very well situated in between restaurants, beaches, parasailing, lagoon and shopping. AWESOME EXPERIENCE for me and my daughters!

The hotel itself, although older,Is nice. The Aromas Cafe, which is onsite, is a great little coffee shop. The room was nice, but I don't know if we will go the "condo" route again. The condo was well furnished with dishes, eating utensils, pans, etc. however, there were 3 of us for a 6 day stay, and there was only 6 bath towels and 2 rolls of toilet paper for our stay. I felt that with the payment of a $135 cleaning fee, we could have gotten clean towels and more toilet paper. A little extra bedding/pillows would be nice too. Other than that, the place is clean, well kept, and met my expectations.

I was more than happy with a recent stay at Condo 624 at the Ilikai. I arrived early in the morning and was able to get into the unit right away and it was clean and had everything we needed. We loved the view over the pool, Hilton lagoon and the ocean. The bed was great and everything was clean and well maintained. I hadn't stayed in this part of Waikiki before but love the location - close to Ala Moana shopping, the "nice" end of Waikiki beach and easy to catch tourist and city buses. Will be back!

We were very pleased with all aspects of condo 624. It was clean and recently renovated with a fully functional kitchen containing everything we needed. The view was outstanding looking over the two pools, ocean, Hilton lagoon and Hawaiian Village. We ate all our meals on the spacious lanai. The unit was supplied with beach towels, chairs, cooler and inflatable for our time at the beach which was a short walk away.

The staff at the Ilikai were friendly and helpful and everything was well explained by Aloha Condos. Would definitely stay here again.

My husband and I plus our teenager son stayed in this unit for a week in April. The unit was great overall, clean, updated and well furnished. The view is better in person that the photos. There were only 2 things that bothered us:- the sofa sleeper needs a new mattress, our teen slept 0k on it though- there is a lot of noise on the balcony from what I think is pool equipment for the new pool. The owners should request that the building cover the equipment with a sound damping enclosure

We would stay there again.Great value for the price.

Although we have been to Waikiki many times and are familiar with the neighbourhood, this was our first time staying in a VRBO and we were unsure what to expect. Any concerns were put to rest immediately once we arrived in room 624. We couldn't believe we found such a beautiful place to stay for our vacation.

The Ilikai Hotel is stunning and perfectly situated for our needs. It was a pleasure to have a short walk to the beach without the need to cross any roads. Although situated at the quieter end of Waikiki, there is no shortage of great restaurants and shopping within walking distance.

The room was updated, clean and attractively furnished - just like in the photos. We did not make use of the kitchen (it is my vacation after all :) ), but it appeared to be well stocked. The lani has a beautiful view and is comfortably furnished.

The only thing I could say that was less than perfect was that the bed was too firm for my preference; however, it would not stop me from happily choosing to stay in this lovely unit again in the future.

I look forward to another visit another year.

We could have not stayed at a better place in Honolulu... The room was super cute. We just walked across the foot bridge to get to the beach. We could see the sunset from the room. A nice kitchen which we did not use because, so many great restaurants within walking distance. Red Lobster, Outback, McDonald's, Ihop, a place called Harbor Pub that has the best pizza (kids are welcome). The only thing I would have different in the room is a mirror to do hair and make up outside of the bathroom and a fan in the bathroom . Also the sleeper sofa is not the most comfortable. I give it 5 STARS.... Would stay at this condo again...

Ilikoi condo 624 was lovely

Reviewed by Mary

Date 05/18/2016

The Ilikoi is perfectly situated at the "quieter" end of Waikiki, still close to everything, and was perfect.

Room 624 was very clean, updated, and quiet. All the necessary amenities and the entire stay went smoothly. I do wish there was a fan in the bathroom, but if that's my only complaint, obviously the stay was perfect.

It's a little bit more of a trek to the beach that the hotels down the beach, but that doesn't mean it was far at all, and it was a plus for me as I like a nice walk.

I loved staying at the Ilikoi and will definitely book again.

I stayed at Condo 624 over Christmas 2015. The condo has a small kitchen with open bedroom and living room area. This was big enough for me and my wife. The room was clean and had everything we needed. The stove and fridge are older and probably need to be updated soon, but we were on vacation and they didn't matter.

The view is amazing and you can see the ocean from you bed. It has a clear view of the ocean and the hilton hotel next door. You can't see the lagoon as good due to the palm trees covering it from that height, but you can see the ocean very clear.

The hotel was great. This hotel is much better than the Ilikai Marine which I stayed a couple of years ago in. This hotel has shopping, market for food and household items, getting setting area, pool for guests to use and much more. Beautiful water fountains and lights at night during the holidays.

Everything is within walking distance from places to eat, beach, buses, trolleys, tours and much much more.

We enjoyed our stay very much. thanks

The condo was exactly as presented in photos, not a thing different. It was super clean and had everything that we needed (except snorkeling masks:). The access to the beach was a brief walk and the pool was refreshing when we didn't feel like going to the beach. The building was nicely located with access to stores, restaurants and public transit. Parking was expensive so we rented a Smart Car that had the option of $10.00/day parking - you had to not mind walking a few blocks every time you parked. The only complaint was how noisy it was when the hotel across the street had their nightly Luau - interesting the first time but became very tiring by day six. We would however go back to this condo despite the noise and just not use the balcony between 5 and 8 pm.

Reviewed by kmcmuffin

I plan to cover the highs and lows of the unit. The condo is in a great location. The issue is the maid/cleaning of the unit. The shower had black mold on the doors and floor when we arrived (not adequate ventilation is my assumption). The sheets on the bed smelled like B.O or that they had not been washed and fully dried when put on the bed. Note no extra sheets are available so if you need to change them during the week plan 2 hrs minimum to get them washed.

The kitchen was very well stocked and clean (best kitchen equipment I have ever seen in a rental). The bed was comfortable and had a great view of the ocean. The AC works very well and we had no issues with it. One final item. The drapes covering the sliding glass door is so old and worn that you can see pin holes all over the drapes aka dry rot has started. The patio is large and well appointed.

We did call Aloha Rentals about the cleaning issue and the maids arrived and spent 4 minutes (yes I timed them) spraying some cleaning solution on the bathroom (whispering how gross the shower was) and left in 4 minutes flat..... not an effective cleaning job. Plus left new sheets that smelled like they had dried their sweat with them. (note they just threw them on the bed and didn't realize they were the wrong size. (had to call to bring another set) The towels they replaced (also with a BO smell) actually were fresh!

Final administrative point; bring quarters, bathroom cleaners and laundry supplies (including fabric softener and bleach) to clean the unit on day one. I stay in over 100 plus hotel nights per year in all types of hotels and this is my worst cleaning experience. I don't blame the owner but the oversight of the cleaning service.

BTW you can not see any real fireworks from the balcony on Friday night. Just the noise.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Condo 624. We travelled to Hawaii with another couple to celebrate mine & my friend's 50th birthdays. Could not have chosen a better location, just to the west end of Waikiki - not too close to the action, but a short stroll when we wanted to be part of it. Conveniently located near the Ala Moana Shopping Centre and ABC Stores on both corners with easy access to plenty of restaurants and bars. The condo was clean and well equipped with everything we needed in the kitchen. The bed was very comfortable and the furniture both inside and on the lanai were practical and of good quality. The views were great and, importantly for us, the air con worked a treat. The bathroom was clean but a little dated. Booking was a simple, easy process and there was no check in or check out required. All instructions for access were comprehensive and easy to follow. The managers were very friendly and answered all our enquiries when booking in a timely and helpful manner. Would not hesitate to recommend this condo to anyone and would certainly return if we go back to Hawaii.

The 3 of us enjoyed our stay. Using Aloha Condos to rent the place meant there was no check in or check out delays which was great. They were very good. The apartment has great views over the Marina and lagoon, and is nicely done inside - good quality sheets, pillows, towels etc. Big comfortable bed which my daughter and I shared. The fold out bed is best for one teenager or 2 small children. It wasn't as comfortable as the main bed. Free Wifi always makes the teenagers happy!I thought we would use the kitchen and dishwasher but it was so cheap to eat out particularly at the Ala Moana Food Court (which was in walking distance), that we ended up not using either.

This was my first time to Hawaii and to Oahu! After a lot of debate whether to go with a hotel room or a private rental, this condo seemed to be the perfect mix of both! It was also one of the more updated interiors with great finishes. The condo has everything we needed for cooking, for the beach and for living comfortably! It was true to the pictures and even had updated shower doors and is very open concept. The best things about the condo were the keyless entry and the lanai! You can come and go whenever you want without fumbling for a key or card to get in. There were also many rainbows you can see off the lanai and enjoy the water features from the deck while enjoying coffee. The Ilikai has a great bar & grill which was very affordable especially during happy hour. It also had traditional Hawaiian live music and fireworks on Friday! I loved the proximity to the aBC stores (convenience), Ala Moana mall, and how it is within walking distance to the heart of Waikiki. It is also easy to hop on the highway and go to any part of the island. Kat with aloha Condos was great with the reservation and answering any questions I had before the trip and during.

We did not have to wait in line or deal with the front desk. We went directly to the room unpacked our bags and went directly to the beach. They also have a little general store where you could get packets of condiments (ketchup, mustard, jelly, etc.) if you don't want to buy those things at the grocery store. I would recommend this condo to any and everyone looking for a great value, great location, and great view. The only thing I can slightly complain about was that parking was $25 a day.

This is our third summer in Hawaii. Each time we have rented a condo at the Ilikai and have been very happy. This condo had a great ocean and lagoon view from the lanai. Kitchen had all the conveniences except we could not get the coffee maker to work and there was no manual available. Wifi connection worked great. Bed was comfortable but seemed smaller than a queen and the sheets did not fit the bed well; either two flat sheets or the other set was not the right size. Loved the convenience of keyless entry. There was no access to the cleaning supplies and we stayed there for 13 nights with no ability to clean the floors or bathroom, that was a bit frustrating for us. Overall, our stay was very comfortable and convenient to surrounding restaurants and attractions.
