Beautiful condo great views wonderful beaches close to everything. Needs new blinds sleeping is little rough with the light from outside and the blinds are missing slats and don't close all the way. Possible termite problem in the kitchen.

Fantastic location, easy access to the beaches, shops at the Ilikai and Hilton Hawaiian!
Absolutely beautiful view of the lagoon and beach, plus Friday night fireworks!! Bonus - can see the Hilton luau from balcony!
The apartment was comfortable and clean!

2 bedroom condo was a bit smaller than other condo units we have previously stayed in. Slightly dated furnishings and microwave was broken. After a call to property management, it was replaced the next day. Comfortable for four people with two bathrooms. Plus, was view of Hilton's luau from the lanai!

This is a fine property in the middle of the action, on the edge of Waikiki. The Ilikai is a relatively old building, and it shows in the rooms. There could have been more pots and pans in the kitchen. Overall, however, it was clean, comfortable, and afforded us a beautiful view of the ocean. There was the additional advantage of a free hula show near ground level, three of the nights we stayed. You could easily hear and see it from our lanai.

The unit was a two bedroom, two bat with a huge lanai and terrific views. We were in 1418 and the price was fair for the location and amenities. We had a full kitchen which was great and the unit was equipped with a small vacuum and necessary cleaning supplies.
One issue that we had was the microwave oven didn’t work. I reset the circuit breaker once and the oven immediately tripped it again. This proved inconvenient as we purchased microwave meals and snacks which were of no use. Notification to the property manager was made on our second day but we never heard anything. The ac units were old, noisy, and not very efficient. They could stand an upgrade to newer units since they’re not in keeping with a luxury vacation rental. The beds were reminiscent of Army barracks bunks. They worked but I didn’t find them very comfortable. Finally, the toilet in the master bath needs a new flush valve. The one that’s there never shut off completely.
The unit was nice, otherwise comfortable, but in need of a good thorough clean of the base boards, air vents, and some brighter light bulbs in the bathrooms would be great.
We enjoyed the stay and would recommend it to others. Communication is the key.
Thank you

This property is in a wonderful location, beautiful beach view each morning and plenty of space for my whole family. Very easy check in and check out, it’s located within the lovely Ilikai hotel. Very nice to have access to all of the shops, including coffee, a restaurant, and even a spa. We enjoyed live music with hula dancers and fireworks on Friday night. The property itself could use some updates and remodeling, but overall clean, the beds were comfortable, and we had most everything we needed in the kitchen. There are washers and dryers on each floor. We enjoyed our stay very much, and would stay here again!

This was a great property for my family to experience Waikiki away from the busy areas. The property was spacious and clean and had everything we needed for a week away. It was within walking distance to the lagoon and beach which was great with kids. The second floor pool was also a hit for my young children. If I ever make it back to Oahu I'd stay here again.

What a great property! Unbelievable view, comfortable beds, storage, convenience to restaurants, shopping, pools, ocean and Ala Moana park (one of our favorite spots)! Property management quick response to any need. Really couldn’t ask for more. Loved our stay!!!!

Stayed here for 4 nights with my husband and 2 teenage sons. The room set up was perfect. We were very comfortable. We enjoyed coffee on the large lanai every morning with a spectacular view. This property is in a great location within walking distance of shopping and restaurants The beach and lagoon are also just a short walk away. Only a few negatives: the decor is a bit dated and the sliding doors are quite difficult to open and close. Also the internet is very unreliable.
I would definitely recommend this property.

Beautiful view of the ocean and lagoon! We loved the Hawaiian decor of the condo and large balcony with access from the master bedroom and living area. We have two teenagers and the space was perfect for our family. After checking in (which was super easy with the detailed email instructions) we were exploring the Illikai and met Chris and his wife, who own a surf shop on the ground level. They recommended a great place for dinner nearby, The Chart House. Great food with wonderful views of the marina. We dined there two more times during our trip! Other nearby attractions within walking distance: The Royal Hawaiian for Luau and lunch/drinks on the beach at their Mai Tai bar. Orchids for a formal weekend brunch. Our last morning before heading to the airport, we visited Pesca’s at the top of Illikai for breakfast where we experienced breathtaking views of the ocean. We had a lovely trip and highly recommend booking this condo!

After a two year absence of travel, it was good to get back to Honolulu. Unit was as advertised. Furniture is getting a little tired and the condo is showing some age. The view is outstanding and a small issue was dealt with promptly.

Aloha!
The location and description of the property were exactly as described in the listing! Stunning views and very close to the beach!
The unit was tastefully updated with lots of room for five adults. My husband was especially impressed with the extremely large outdoor lanai space. It spanned the entire unit and it was so nice to have that extra space to spread out into so that everyone could find some quiet time when needed.
The master bedroom was very large and comfortable. Lots and lots of closet space! The beds and the bedding comfortable and our adult kids said the pull out sofa was comfortable as well.
The kitchen was well appointed with everything we would need and we were surprised to see a very nice new sturdy blender for our frosty frozen drinks!
There were four beach chairs and a soft side Beach cooler on wheels that we utilized when we went to the beach. For those in need of it, there was also a nice umbrella stroller and booster seat in the unit as well.
We ended up parking in the marina behind the building because it was only one dollar an hour. As we knew we would be in an out we never paid more than about $15 a day for parking. If you park in the Ilikai valet parking, starting March 1 it’s $35 a day.
The one negative was when we first got there one of the elevators was not working. By our third day there two more elevators had broken. So for a few days we had to wait for a very long time for an elevator. They did have that all resolved by our fourth day there. And then we didn’t have to wait as long.
Overall it was a great place for a family of five adults and we would definitely rebook if we make it back to Honolulu!
Mahalo for a fantastic stay!

The condo was not very clean when we checked in. The DW was full of dirty dishes and there was no soap. Had to call property Mgr. The bathroom by the 2 double beds had cans of spiked cider and hard alcohol in the medicine cabinet. The oven had a big pile of cooked on cheese or something from previous renters. The sofa hide a bed had a bent frame at the bottom of the bed so we had to put the cushions in the floor to hold the bed up so our grandson could sleep in it. The bottom metal frame broke the night before we left and a maintenance person came and took pictures. Then the last day a person watching the pool would not let our 3 grandsons play with a ball in the pool when there were only 4 other people on the shallow end. I read the rules and there was nothing stating a 2” soft ball could not be played with in the pool. Very disappointing.
We loved the location but did not think it was worth the nightly cost.

Just spent 8 nights at this unit at the Ilikai. Ilikai was a nice property, restaurant and shops downstairs, convenient location to HHV property. Ilikai staff were all friendly. I wish I could say the same for the property management company managing the unit.
First, the unit is smaller than it appears in photos. "View" was just ok. People reporting a great view of the Friday night fireworks were not describing what we saw; the HHV building next door blocked all except a couple of high fireworks; Surprising, given the rave reviews. Yes, you can hear the hula show next door on top of the parking garage, but its too far to see anything. Floor is in need of repair.
While we were there, the molding above the sliding lanai doors simply became unglued, and was hanging from the door frame until the next day when someone came to repair it. They also glued down the door trim which was loose. The sliding doors did not slide without a great deal of coaxing..thank goodness we all have good upper body strength. Kitchen: freezer has no automatic ice maker...so be prepared to make them in ice trays and find a bowl to put them in. Kitchen otherwise ok in terms of supplies, except a can opener. If you like cans, bring your own opener.
We were able to get into our unit early, thankfully...and there was a repairman who came to fix the second bathroom closet door which was hanging off its hinges. FYI, the secondary bedroom has no cabinet or drawer space, so you can either hang things in the closet, or place on the bathroom closet shelves.
When I asked the property management company to remove the bedframe from one of the two second bedroom beds, and drop the mattress and boxspring to the floor so i could get in and out of the bed (I use a wheelchair and cannot stand to climb up into the bed, so needed it lowered), I was met with delays and then ultimate refusal. They emailed me and said they could/would not do this, and would refund my money if I needed to go elsewhere. OR...I could sleep on the sofa bed for 8 nights. Not an acceptable response, and after significant "discussion" on this matter, they did send someone over to simply remove the bedframe so I could sleep in a bed each night. But to have to even argue about this? Disappointing.
Pools were ok; deep pool had many screaming children; shallow pool a little quieter. Both pools small.
Had a great time due to being with family. But I think I will stick with Maui from now on!!

We were a family of 4 adults and all enjoyed the condo. There was plenty of room and the view beautiful. Very comfortable beds with excellent bed linens. The beach chairs, and cooler was a plus for us. We stayed at The Ilikai 5 times now and this was the best unit. We didn't even mind the hurricane shutting things down for 2 days, the Ilikai prepared well. If I'm fortunate enough to return to Oahu, this is my unit of choice..

We really enjoyed the Ilikai and all the surrounding area had to offer.View from the balcony is outstanding and it was easy to get a spot around the pool.Coffee in the morning and ice cream at night from the cafe/Daves' Parlour on the ground floor topped off a great stay.

We loved our time at 1418. Floor needs some love and the batbrooms are a little dark in the showers but the view is amazing and the beds are super comfortable. Will definitely be back. All you could ask for!

Great location, great view and within walking distance of virtually everything. Neat, clean and well stocked kitchen. On the down side the beds creaked if anyone turned in bed and the 'floating' floor also creaked in spots when you walked on it which made it a little noisy for those wanting to sleep.

Stayed in this condo for 11 days of bliss: it was perfect! Clean & pristine. Upon our arrival, the Ilikai bellman, Wayne, brought up our 5 suitcases and 4 carryon bags. I tipped him well and throughout our stay, all the bellmen were willing and available to bring up groceries, shopping bags, etc. The condo has plenty of closets w/ lots of hangers, luggage racks and good drawer space. The beds are comfortable, with lots of different types of pillows to choose from. The bed linens were soft & inviting. The kitchen is outfitted with everything you need to make meals and snacks. There is a George Forman Grill & we grilled out on true balcony. It was great! The balcony is expansive with an amazing view. We watched the Hilton Hawaiian Village Laua almost every night & we could see their Friday night firework show perfectly. The room air conditioners cranked cold air w/ ease & the ceiling fans moved it around. WiFi & cable work perfectly. The laundry facility is just 5 doors down & I never had to wait for either the washer or dryer. This was a wonderful vacation and this condo was a huge part of that! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We enjoy the Ilikai and this end of Waikiki beach. We saw fireworks Friday and Sunday and watched the luau on the Hilton from the lanai. Condo was clean and well stocked with necessary supplies. Wifi worked well. Love the valet parking. Would return to this condo if I am lucky enough to visit Waikiki again.

Our family of 4, including 18 year-old twins, stayed in the Ilikai 1418 for 10 days. The suite was perfect for us, offering incredible views and the convenience of a full kitchen. We enjoyed breakfast and Happy Hour on the lanai daily. The suite was spacious for four people, and the closet of shelves in the kids’ bathroom helped two teens stay relatively organized. The kitchen was well-appointed and offered a pantry to centrally store groceries, something missing in many rentals. The suite is convenient within the building, only a short walk to the elevators, coin laundry room and trash receptacle. The building itself is steps from Waikiki Beach, and only a block from Quality Surfboards, a great place to rent all manner of water toys for reasonable prices. No car needed with everything so close and the occasional Uber ride easily found. We would definitely rent this suite again!
