This is our second time in Sue & Terry's condo. Property management was onsite which was great as we had problems getting in. I went to the office to get help just in time before they close for the day. The condo was clean and but don't recall the bathroom smelling like wet rag "musty sour smell" before. It turns out it was the shower curtain. It had some mildew buildup and didn't seem like it was cleaned for a while. I ended up soaking the shower curtain for a couple of hours to get rid of the smell. Everything else was perfect about the condo.

We had a super stay at Ilikai Hotel Condo 1530. Everything we needed was there...sand toys, water toys, beach necessities, plus all the kitchen goods. This was the perfect place for our family. Easy access. The pool is primarily full of people over age 55 so we did feel uncomfortable at times with our 4 year old in there. The pool is just a pool, but warm and the chairs/provided towels are great. The Friday night fireworks were cool. We could also see the luau at the Hawaiian Hilton Village from the lanai which was also cool.

I had a great stay at this condo, everything you need, kitchen appliances, pots, plates, Tupperware and was quite surprised to find beach gear as well. Everything was perfect. You can even catch the Luau and watch it from your balcony and the fireworks at the Hilton, definitely a regular customer for all of my stays in Hawaii! A+++

We were delighted with the apartment. It has been tastefully and comfortably furnished; and is fully equipped with everything we could possibly need.The large box, full of beach equipment, is such an unusual, but thoughtful, touch. At our age (mid-80s) we did not use much, but other renters will appreciate that extra service. Overall, we had a delightful stay. Could watch the hulu show across the road if we wanted to; and fortunately it ended early in the evening, so was not a nuisance. Also, a first=class view of the Friday evening fireworks on the beach.

The view from the lanai is wonderful of the ocean and all the activities on the lagoon, the Friday night fireworks on the beach, and the luai on the roof of the Hilton. The studio is perfect for us with the nice kitchen, and amenities, and we love having the folding doos to separate the bedroom. It is always clean, bright and cheerful.

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Ilikai Hotel Condo 1530. We've been married for 45 years and it was like a second honeymoon! The condo is perfectly located close to whatever shopping you want to do. No rental car is necessary as you can easily walk to the two larger supermarkets in the area. Plus, if you need transportation, The Bus stop is right outside the main door of the hotel. The room was quite clean, everything that we needed to prepare our meals was there. We hope that we can stay there again next year.

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 exp...

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.

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.
