We loved staying at this condo. It was the perfect size for the three of us, and included everything we needed from beach towels to items in the kitchen, ironing board, and more. Check in was seamless and easy. The AC worked well. I didn’t cook much, but I reheated food and found the kitchen had everything I needed and more. I booked this spot last minute and it was the most competitively priced compared to staying at a hotel.
The location is great, and really close to the lagoon, where my kids and I wanted to spend time. The pools were also nice. My kids are 4 and loved the wading pool on the second floor, partly because it’s shallow, and partly because there are fewer people there vs the main pool.
There is some water damage that other reviewers mentioned behind the toilet but I called the management company to report it at check in to note it’s not from us. The wait for the elevators wasn’t bad either compared to what I read, there are 4 elevators and it can be full, but it’s fine. I didn’t use the laundry machines on this visit, but it was nice to have that there in case I needed to.
Loved our stay here and would def stay here again on our next trip!

We stayed here for 3 days and it was located in a perfect location. There were some minor issues we came across:PROS: - Check in was easy and the room was nice and comfortable.- The view was nice for a city view - The shops in the lobby were great, we loved the market for getting essentials (especially when we realized the room didn’t include any cooking oil) - The cafe has really good coffee and breakfast sandwiches. - Laundry down the hallway was handy (tip: it’s $3 and doesn’t take coins, you need a credit card to use washing machine and dryer)CONS:- it’s quite loud from the traffic below when the doors are open, once closed it’s not bad.- the elevators sometimes take a long time, especially in the morning when it is busy (we had to wait to get on an elevator with space for us 5 times in a row one morning, took us 15 min) A few cleanliness details we came across were:- The rug was quite dirty, could really use a shampoo or replacement - We had to rewash some dishes because the glasses had a funny smell to them and there was some food stuck to the plates (the listing mentioned that a dishwashing tablet was included but we couldn’t find it anywhere which is probably why they weren’t cleaned properly.) - There is no broom, I saw a Swiffer in the closet but there were no pads for it, so we had to lug the vacuum out anytime we needed to clean up sand etc. a broom would have been handy.

- The view was nice for a city view
- The shops in the lobby were great, we loved the market for getting essentials (especially when we realized the room didn’t include any cooking oil)
- The cafe has really good coffee and breakfast sandwiches.
- Laundry down the hallway was handy (tip: it’s $3 and doesn’t take coins, you need a credit card to use washing machine and dryer)
CONS:
- it’s quite loud from the traffic below when the doors are open, once closed it’s not bad.
- the elevators sometimes take a long time, especially in the morning when it is busy (we had to wait to get on an elevator with space for us 5 times in a row one morning, took us 15 min)
A few cleanliness details we came across were:
- The rug was quite dirty, could really use a shampoo or replacement
- We had to rewash some dishes because the glasses had a funny smell to them and there was some food stuck to the plates (the listing mentioned that a dishwashing tablet was included but we couldn’t find it anywhere which is probably why they weren’t cleaned properly.)
- There is no broom, I saw a Swiffer in the closet but there were no pads for it, so we had to lug the vacuum out anytime we needed to clean up sand etc. a broom would have been handy.
All in all it was a good stay.

The place is as pictured. Nice and clean.
Has a beautiful view of the city especially at night. I also have to say that there was an endless supply of bath towels on hand which was great. However, the one thing i do wish this listing had was a full length mirror as we were in need of one due to the multitude of events we attended over the weekend. Also, the 5x7 carpet is in need of being changed out. Hopefully, the updates will had occured before our next stay. Nevertheless, it's still kudos all around for this unit.

My husband and I were overjoyed that the property was just like the photos and furthermore the mattress, linens and pillows were extremely comfortable. I wish I knew what brand it was to purchase for our home. Communication was easy and the space was easy to maintain. We vacuumed the floor and rug/ bathroom when dust or food debris was on the floor and we were provided with plenty dishwashing pods to keep the dishes cleaned throughout our stay. We had all we needed to cook as well. If we come back to Honolulu we plan to book here again!

Rental staff who communicated with us throughout our stay were responsive and brought additional items that made our stay much more comfortable. The garbage can in the kitchen needs replacing as it’s not functioning from wear and tear. Otherwise everything was in working order. The city view was new for us as we usually rent oceanfront; it was a different experience and an interesting change in scenery. We don’t have anything negative to say other than the elevators at the Ilikai need to be upgraded. It was the norm that we waited for 15-20 minutes for an elevator to arrive that was not full (8 people max because the elevators have been breaking down). This made it difficult to stick to a schedule—had to allow for this encumbrance. That said, we love the Ilikai and would stay at this property again. Mahalo for your hospitality.

Love the condo. Everything was as expected and the amenities provided lasted through our 5 day stay. The only downside was that the elevators were not working properly so we had to take the stairs when we did not have much to carry. But that is not a reflection on the room itself or rental company... and thankfully we were only on the 8th floor!

I chose this location to stay to be able to spend time with my son who is stationed at Tripler. I was able to cook for him, spend time at the beach, watch movies in the evening, and just spend great quality time in a nice clean home like environment. I will definitely return. My son really appreciated the home cooked meals!

The property is in a convenient location and close to Waikiki beach. Self-checkin is very convenient and easy. However, I had the impression that the unit has private washer and dryer unit but it is in a shared location on the same floor.

The location is worth the entire stay! We walked everywhere with the beach being less than 5min away. Only issue were the birds on the patio, but that cant be prevented. They just pooped everywhere and we couldnt enjoy the patio furniture. Otherwise I highly recommend this property and would definitely stay again!

Spotless condo, several towels, clean patio furniture and even a beach umbrella. Location was fantastic and easy to get to a lot of restaurants and even the mall . The beach was super close, don’t forget to capture those wonderful sunsets. The check in was easy breezy with the locking pad on the room door. The bed was one of the most comfortable beds we have ever stayed in . Kitchen had ample supplies ( except no wine glasses as described
had to go out to buy 2)
We would definitely stay at this rental again!!

Everything was good, except you didn’t really specify that Che in in is 3pm. I did get there eat and the room wasn’t cleaned, but they did come and clean and all was ok. If you did say when check in was, I missed seeing it.
I think you need to clean the sofa’s in the room and the one on the balcony. The garbage container top had to be lifted by hand to put garbage in, that was a problem, because who wants to touch that every time you want to put in trash. Everything thing else was fine Thank you

It was a great property in a lively neighborhood with everything nearby. The upgrades were done well and we enjoyed our stay. The kitchen had everything we need (one more wine glasses would be nice) to make breakfast before leaving for the day. The laundry facilities on the floor were perfect as they were clean and convenient. The ice cream shop in the lobby was where most of our days ended. LoL We would highly recommend this unit.

This property is nice because it is located in Waikiki so you are close to everything. The shops located within the resort are good and not overpriced for the most part. The fireworks on Friday nights are a must if you're in the area.

We had a fabulous time in Honolulu at Wikiki beach. The Ilikai building is almost 60 and shows some of it’s age, but it is strategically located minutes walk from thr beach. Our Condo was renovated and very nice. The bed was comfortable. The only issue is the nice coming from Ala Moana Blvd starting at 6AM. Other than that, I highly recomment this property for your stay in Honolulu.

It looks really nice in the inside with a comfortable bed, but it was a pretty cheap reno the walls are peeling in a couple of spots, as well as it’s an old building, so there’s no fan in the bathroom, I enjoyed my stay there, but definitely not a 5 Star Place I would say it’s a bit pricing as they don’t have great amenities and they don’t even give you free coffee.

Our whole experience with this rental company/property went smoothly—from the time of booking right up until check out. Emails came in regularly with easy to understand information and instructions. The door code worked perfectly every time. They give you a number to call if you need anything and their response time is lightening fast. The studio is just like the pictures with beautiful city views. The sliding patio doors make up an entire wall, which was fantastic! They also had black out curtains and we were impressed with how quiet it was at night. The beds & pillows were next level comfortable—and we are very particular about these things. The studio is spacious and 3 people can easily fit—4 if small children. There is ample closet and storage space for all, even in the bathroom. The essentials are all there to get you started. The hotel itself is lovely and well kept. The main floor/lobby has a market where you can get most convenience things you may need. There is an amazing little coffee/breakfast shop, including smoothies & açai bowls —and our favorite barista looked like Zoe Kravitz. There is also another restaurant (Cinnamon’s) for more elaborate meals—a bit more expensive, but still reasonably priced. The pool area is nothing to call home about, but it looked ok. There is also another breakfast/lunch/dinner restaurant very close by. The marina is right there and the sunsets are spectacular. The Ilikai Hotel (where this studio is located) is right next door to the Hilton Hawaiian Village, so the area is great. Beach is close by and downtown, including great shopping/restaurants , is walking distance. If you want to visit something a little further out, such as Diamond Head, there are different transportation offerings available. We also found UBER to be less expensive than taxis—by a lot. Hawaii is an exceptional place to visit and we would not hesitate to stay here again to do so, and would happily rec

Overall happy with our stay. We booked a last minute trip and it was very easy. Everything is automated and done thru an app with instructions. The bed was very comfortable, nice linens and towels. We didnt use the kitchen but it was nice to have. location was great.. best acai bowl across the street and beautiful sunsets at ala moana park. only negatives... facing the street and so you can hear street noise. Also right outside the front door, there is an eye sore. looks like the walls are wet and they are trying to dry it out so there was a fan blowing (facing the wall directly next to our room). Once you are inside you cant hear the fan but it just was an eyesore which is why i didnt give it 5 stars.

Great location, spacious room and well equipped. Requests for additional amenities was quickly responded to ~ except for the limited supply of toilet paper . . . insufficient for a two week stay with three adults. Well stocked appliances and other necessary items for "cooking and eating in". I would certainly recommend this location and we are considering renting it again for next winter.

My family absolutely loved this condo. The advertised pictures really doesn’t give this condo any justice. It’s absolutely stunning in person. This condo was very clean. The internet was fast. There’s every streaming platform on the tv, plus cable. It’s super close to the beach which is why I close this location and the two pools was a plus. The Ali’i beach rental company sent me a just checking to see if everything is okay text. Which was pretty cool. This was my first time EVER going through a company for my lodging. I normally book directly through whichever hotel I’m staying at. I’ve stayed at the llikai hotel before and I booked directly through the hotel and when I checked In there were hidden fees that I wasnt aware and plus the rooms aren’t as beautiful as this condo. I’m so glad that I booked with this company. There were no hidden fees, this company was very hands on as far as booking is concerned. And I enjoyed knowing that my room was already paid for and all I had to do was go straight to my room. Next time I’m in Oahu I will Be booking through this company.

Ilikai Hotel Location is great. Ali’i Beach Rental provides good service for vacationers, easy check-in and out, a phone call away for any assistance needed during your stay and price was reasonable no extra service fees or resort fees. We enjoyed our stay in room #823 and will return again.
