Great location, property very clean newly remodelled. No dishwasher in the kitchen but laundry accessible.Be aware it is next to the elevators and intermittently hearing the elevator related noises everything else was excellent.We would rent thus unit without hesitation. Family of 3-4 (2adults + 2 small kids) would fit and could make good use of the space.

The unit was very modern with nice furniture and a comfortable bed. We especially liked the kitchen table so we could see the view while eating breakfast. (Most units have a bar so face the kitchen when eating.) The Ilikai's top floor restaurant is lovely, and it is also near several local restaurants on the street side. It's easy to get an Uber to go anywhere. In addition to the usual tourist sites, on one rainy day we went to the aquarium - almost like snorkeling. We also went to the zoo.

We enjoyed our little nest in the Ilakai Marina Hotel. The day began and ended on the lanai savoring the gorgeous vista.The closet door was impossible to close—we in turn just left it open. The water pressure in the shower is very feeble—a new shower head would make a world of difference! It’s unfortunate the unit does not have a dishwasher.The rental staff were very attentive and responded to our inquiries.

It was a great location, right at the beginning of Waikiki Beach. A little away from the hustle, and bustle, which we appreciated. Everything was clean. The view was great. The AC worked wonderfully. There was even a nice cozy recliner in the living area. Wi-Fi worked great. The smart TV was a nice feature. there was no cable as far as I could tell, but we just watched through the apps. A few things that could use improvement a table on the lanai would’ve been very nice so that meals could’ve been enjoyed out there. The beach towels provided were nothing more than a bath towel so you might want to bring your own. There was a beach umbrella available which was nice.Providing beach chairs would’ve been a nice touch. There were no instructions for departure, so we just washed all our dishes, left towels on the floor and our bags of trash since we didn’t know what to do with them. All in all great stay, and would consider staying there if we return to Waikiki.

This is our 2nd time staying in this unit. We love the view and balcony along with the location within the Illikai hotel. This unit is exactly as pictured and We were pleasantly surprised with the new leather living room furniture which is so comfortable when you need to relax after a day in the sun. We stayed 2 weeks and used our well equipped kitchen for almost every meal. We took advantage of the walkable grocery shopping at whole foods, Foodland and Walmart with an ABC right across the street as well. We had some issues with the elevators at the hotel, however Alii Beach rentals were so good to support us and make sure our stay was amazing. Communication was quick and we felt valued. Highly recommend both this unit and manager.

We've stayed in several units in the Ilikai. The location is perfect, on the quieter end of Waikiki. The only very slight drawback is that the unit is the first one in the hall, near the elevators, and due to the interesting shape of the building, this means that the lanai (balcony) is about 2/3 smaller than most of the others. This view (sort of SW) is the best, in my opinion, in the Ilikai. View is over the Ala Wai yacht harbor and a bonus is that you can see all the planes taking off and landing from the Honolulu airport.

Normally, I'm always a bit sad, like this time. The flat has fully met our request. A very neat and clean room with a view of the harbour. We had an open kitchen, with all the necessary utensils. The complete furnishings were, not as is often the case, in very good condition. The bathroom was large and also very well clean.
Towels and a beach towel were provided to us. For the beach we had two folding beach chairs and an umbrella.
From our balcony, on the 12th floor, we had a very good view of the harbor and the sea.
Since we were above a hotel, it didn't seem like we were only in an apartment.
Shops, shopping center, promenade, everything can be reached in a few minutes. It is only a few meters to the beach, we were always infron of the Hilton.
We are very happy that we booked here. If we are planning Hawaii again, I would want to book here at any time again.

Rental was as described. Great views of the harbor and Honolulu. The place overlooks the courtyard, which has live music/hulu certain nights of the week. There are several food/drink options within walking distance (central Waikiki approx 15-20min). The property itself has a great poke place and Pesca at the very top is fun for HH and has an incredible view. The rental was clean and hosts responsive.

The room was exceptionally clean, nicely decorated with a great view. The halls and the elevators were hot since no air conditioning is used in Those locations. The valet is very convenient but expensive and it needs to be prepaid at arrival. The valets are very helpful, fast and friendly. When we arrived our door code did not work and the emergency phone line would not answer. We arrived at 10pm, so it wasn’t extremely late. We received a text response approximately 15 mins later.

The property was perfect for a couple and even better than the pictures suggested. A proper shower (not in a bath), excellent kitchen and one of the softest beds we’ve ever experienced in a rental. Huge tv (Samsung) far larger than the one pictured and really comfortable lounge furniture. A bonus was the 2 beach chairs. The dining table received little use as it was so nice to eat on the lanai. Huge sinks in the kitchen and bathroom were appreciated. Only one champagne flute but plenty of kitchen crockery, cooking utensils and cutlery. We’ve stayed in the Ilikai before but this was the best apartment we’ve experienced there. The location is perfect with a bus stop at the door and easy walking distance of everything Waikiki has to offer. Mahalo.

What a great appartment. Beautiful view from the balcony. We had our morning coffee overlooking the harbor every morning. The kitchen was well equipped and even though it did not have a dishwasher it was not a problem for us. If I could have figured out how to get the mattress in my carry on I would have taken it with me. Best night sleep. I would rent this appartment again.

Arrived around midnight of a long travel day to find our unit to be exactly as pictured. Quick code entry at the door helped us get into the suite quickly. There were 2 nice cold bottles of water in the refrigerator that we needed and appreciated. Shower included a hand held shower head, a feature this “short” person loved. We took advantage of the oven features (including the convection setting) and found the kitchen had every basic thing we would need including coffee maker, toaster, blender, kettle and rice cooker. The king sized bed had a good, comfortable mattress, with a multitude of pillows to choose from. Then there was the lanai. The location of this room makes the lanai an advantageous place to sit almost all day. The sun does not hit this area until later in the day when the sun is on its way down. The sunset views were amazing and the morning rainbows breath taking. We have stayed at the Illikai Hotel previously (another Alii rental suite) and both agree this was our favourite room location because of the lanai. Room has been tastefully updated and the split A/C almost whisper quiet. If you are looking for a central location, walking anywhere from this suite is easy to both Waikiki downtown and then Ala Moana and Foodland. UBER/Lyft always in the area to take you where you want to go which we used to get to and from the airport and then coming back from Foodland with our big grocery shop. We chose to save $ and cook most days, however there are lots of restaurants in this area as well. Overall, the location supported by the awesome lanai makes this rental a 5 star choice.

We were happy to find the condo clean and bright. Of the dozens of condos we have rented, this was the cleanest. Just loved sitting on the lanai watching the sunset every evening. This location is pretty quiet at night, so good for sleeping even with the lanai open. Nice big TV, and sound system. Enjoyed the pool after spending the day at the beach. Lots of towels and we appreciated the parasol and beach chairs left for guests! There is no dishwasher, but no problem with that. Overall, we would definitely return to this condo.

Location and view from this condo are nice but over all maintenance and cleaning conditions are not good. Some towels and bedding sheets are too old. Flowers had already been dead when I arrived and 2 light bulbs were broken. A/C panel was fallen off whenever I opened/closed curtain. A maintenance manager came to fix/replace broken light bulbs without notification when I was about to leave and tried to clean some stains on the carpet but it should be treated before a new guest show up. I would recommend this condo to my friend only if these points are improved.

Two things to note, the lanai glass door seemed to get stuck and was hard to close at times. Not the units fault whatsoever, but neighbors nearby must be smokers as The lanai would be covered in cigarette ashes... overall I enjoyed my stay here! Thanks!

The property is very nice and pretty much - as listed. The room was not 100% when we arrived (broken and unmade bed), but they resolved that the next morning. Weakest point is returning phone calls - never the same day. But once they do the folks are a 10. The view of the marina is wonderful - my wife slept with the blinds open to see the lights of the boats. Would stay there again.

The room was very clean and as expected. They had more than what we needed! A few suggestions I would consider: More blankets and extra pillows for those who need them but the bed was super comfy! I would definitely recommend this condo but honestly, valet parking is chaotic as well as bell service. They’re very unorganized. Ali‘I rentals have nothing to do with it but dealing with valet and bell service makes me second guess about staying there again. When we arrived, valet almost lost my key. Then, they realized an hour later that I over paid them. Well thank God for their honesty. After dealing with them, I had to deal with bell service. The guy was asking for $5 tip when he brought our luggage to the room. Isn’t tip supposed to be what you want to give them? Anyways, I decided not to use bell service again when we checked out because 1. I didn’t know how to call them from the phone that wasn’t working and 2. There wasn’t information on the App on how to contact them. So me along with my 5 year old decided to bring our luggage down ourselves. We were literally running back and forth transferring them from our room to downstairs. So inconvenient. Other than that, we stayed in a clean room. The kitchen was great and had all the appliances we needed.

We thought the air conditioner was the best and the view was also great but the unit itself was very dated, the carpet was stained and just looked dirty. The linens were not comfortable as the top sheet was very heavy almost like a light blanket. The patio door would only open enough to walk through slowly and sideways. With the air on the wall the door could open more. The bathroom looked like the original fixtures. Without going further the unit really needs updating. It is OK for rental for a week or two but for 2 months it was unacceptable. I see on the review that free parking was included, we were not told of this.

Property was as described and was clean and well maintained. We ate at Cinnamon's at the Ilikai (good food, good service) and used the pool when not at the beach. Again, Ilikai staff were great. Ideal position meant that we were within walking distance to Ala Moana Shopping Centre and Waikiki main shopping district. Did a few tours on the Waikiki Trolley around Waikiki, Downtown Honolulu and to Hanauma Bay and Makapuu Lighthouse. All in all, a pleasant holiday experience at the Ilikai.
