First of all, the view! It was a beautiful, clean, and spacious property with 2 furnished lanais, both with spectacular, panoramic views of the ocean. It easily fit 6 adults. U it was well-stocked, though we didn’t do a lot of cooking. In Friday night we had the best view of the fireworks show at 8.It was conveniently located within walking distance to fast food and restaurants, and a quick walk down to the lagoon and beach! There were beach towels, a couple of sand chairs, boogie boards and other beach toys.Valet parking was super easy and quick to use. You pay $45 a day for excellent service. We had a second car for a few days and never found it a problem to find street or self-park near the lagoon for $1 an hour. We may have circled a few times when we returned from dinner and shopping at Ala Moana after 9, but still managed to find parking within 5 minutes.We had a couple of issues, one with the WiFi for one evening. The property manager quickly responded to my message within an hour or two. And it ended up working itself out. WiFi was great the rest of our 8 night stay. Another mishap was the AC unit in the second bedroom dripping a lot of water in the afternoons. It kind of made a mess and we had to use several pots and bowls to make sure the furniture and floor didn’t get all wet. Again, they were quick to respond, sent a technician out, and gave us some advice to keeping the unit from overcompensating. However, it didn’t help and the unit kept dropping for most of our stay. But we just used the pots and bowls and asked for extra towels so I wouldn’t have to do laundry every day to wipe up the messes. They even gave us a very small inconvenience compensation, which wasn’t expected, but a kind gesture, nevertheless.The laundry facility was on every floor, not busy, and people promptly removied their clean laundry.Overall, we had a wonderful stay. Even with some not-so-little

Perfect location to be amongst everything Waikiki has to offer. The condo was perfect for us! It has everything you need. Plus 2 balcony’s for view of the harbor and views of the city. Plenty of room for 5-6, we had 3 grown children with the wife and I. Rental cars in the building and across the street. Public transportation stops just a few steps from building.

Overall the condo and the view were very nice, the pictures are accurate, there were just a few things that could be improved. The AC in the room with the 2 beds leaked so much on the first day, it soaked the table and floor as well as everything that was on it, AirPods, phone chargers, etc. after the first day we had to basically not use it.
The master bath is beautifully renovated, but the shower only got warm, never hot. The main bathroom shower went hot and cold the whole time you were in there. The beach equipment is not great and should definitely be replaced, and the condo is listed for 6 people, but only 3 beach towels supplied.
If those things were fixed/upgraded this definitely would’ve been a 5 star and I would stay here again.
If they weren’t fixed/upgraded I don’t think I would.
Don’t get me wrong, the building was beautiful and the restaurants etc downstairs were great, and the view was amazing. I just think if these things were updated it would be fantastic.
Thank you for having us in your condo, it was a really great trip!

This is such a great spot! Slightly west of the annoying Waikiki crowd, but still so close to it everything (beaches, great restaurants, shopping, etc).If nothing else, for the price, this view is sooooo worth it! It's got everything you need to enjoy the spot with family or friends for a week or more. Highly recommended!

The property was great except that I could not turn the AC off in the master bedroom, and the unit was directly above my head - it leaked water the entire week......I had to move the bed out from the wall and put a towel under the unit. The location was great, everything else was good.

The 2-bedroom was spacious, cleanliness was average. I emailed kaina Hale and never got a response back. I reported the dishwasher didn't work and there was not enough toiletries for our stay (7 nights). We had to buy toilet paper, paper towels, garbage bags. Plus we could not use the dishwasher. With the parking at the ilikai being $45 a day on top of that, we would probably stay somewhere else next time thats closer to the

The parking at the elekai was $45 a day and other options nearby are limited. The dishwasher was broken so we had to hand wash the entire week and we had to buy our own toilet paper, paper towels, garbage bags, etc. I wouldn't stay there again.

The location is awesome but the in keep of the suite was unprofessional. The comforters to the beds in both rooms were dirty/ smelly , the face / bath towels in both bathrooms/bedrooms were smelly and the furniture had stains on them, fingerprints all over the T.V , ice tray was broken and just laying in the freezer, the beach towels had stains all over them and the furniture pillows had stains all over them and the walls to the suite had different stain spots that are very visible all over as well. The stove is dirty, the rice machine looks bad. The entire suite also needs a dark shade all around the suite so your able to watch T.V. the sunlight glare comes straight through the shades that are there now.

Totally enjoyed the view & the large 2 bed & bath corner unit. Love the Illikai property.
Appreciated the quick response of property manager with concerns with replacement coffee pot, kitchen towels & pillow cases.
The unit could have been cleaner & better appointed: needed pillow cases, better pillows, kitchen towels & laundry basket. Dishwasher doesn’t work well, toaster & blender very unclean. Nice to have some beach items: 3 towels, boogie boards & umbrellas (albeit both broken- one not usable). Laundry machines not working had to go to different floors to use. Loud from street below & 2 hour protest with megaphones from neighboring building.
Beds & furniture were comfortable enough. Large tv’s.
Overall nice unit but a bit tired. Mahalo.

Pros: Stunning views. Location is within walking distance to great shopping. Beautiful lobby and great restaurant (Pesca).
Cons: Lanais were filthy with soot. I understand that being in a city, things will get dirty but there was visible black dirt/soot on the floors, tables and chairs. Dishwasher was broken; this apparently was known since no dishwasher soap was available. Sofa bed was broken. Mismatched flatware and dishes. Old, stained, basic coffeepot. Beds had one very flat pillow for each side. Additional pillows (slightly stained) were available...but no pillowcases. Manager indicated in confirmation that valet parking was available for $28/day, but it actually was $45/day. Bedrooms were separated from living areas by wooden panels. Although we knew this when we rented the condo, it was more of an issue than we thought it would be. It was impossible for anyone to move around the kitchen or living room without waking those in the bedrooms.

Pros:
-Prime location, walking distance to Waikiki Beach, stores, and retail.
-Great view of Waikiki.
-Property includes pretty much all the beach necessities (i.e. beach toys, chairs, boogie boards, and etc)
Cons:
-Walls and windows are thin! Meaning you will hear loud music from the streets, every bus when it stops, ambulance, fire trucks at night, and obnoxious loud motorcycles and cars with mufflers.
-Bed comforters/ sheets in the 2 bed bedroom caused skin allergic reaction on day 2 of stay. Contacted property management regarding issue and they told me they couldnt send out the bed sheet replacement until the last day of our stay; which was disappointing.
-Found many tiny bugs that fly in the 1 bedroom restroom. Notified property management regarding bug issue and they sent ant traps.
Explanation of the 2 complaints Ive made. When I reached out to the property management, they just thanked me for notifying them but no actions were made until I had to reach out to them again to see if they can do anything about it. However the things they sent me did not fix the issues. First the tiny bug problem were not ants, it looked like bed bugs with wings, and they would only appear when there’s moisture in the restroom. Second, they told me they couldn't send the bed comforter and sheets until nearly the end of my stay. Not sure if they understood my complaints. But it was frustrating. Therefore it will be my first and last time staying at this property.

Very nice location in the center of Waikiki and Honolulu. Easy to get to restaurants, beach, shopping. Property was clean and all amenities were easy to use and worked properly. The beds were comfortable and apartment was clean. Instructions to get into property were easy to understand and property management was professional and responsive. The only reason for 4 star was location of apartment was near main road and, although 14 stories high, the road noise was significant.

Location supper good, especially view
But property maintenance is bad
a)room door lock totally not work, it is too bad , ,housekeeping directly went in without knock door, after she realized wrong room she still kept looking around to confirm whether it is she looking for
b)shampoos is poor quality, make your hair is so sticky
c)kitchenware is so limited, also dishwasher, stove not work properly
d)not good enough bath towel provided for a week stay

As others have observed, the view and the location are excellent. While there is some city noise, this unit is much quieter than a unit we rented at the Ilikai on a prior trip. The sad part is that, with some simple maintenance, this property could be SO much better. The pots and pans, dinnerware, knives, and glassware are inadequate, or downright unusable. They are thrift store quality. Others have mentioned the terrible condition of the dishwasher, yet it has not been fixed. The toaster does an excellent job of setting off the smoke alarm. To their credit, the realtors did advise us that the couch could no longer become a bed. The furniture needs some attention, and some painting would help. I took lots of pictures upon arrival and departure to protect myself “just in case”. If you can ignore the negatives and just look at the view, this is a good place.

Beautiful condo with an excellent view. Sunsets from the balcony were stunning!
The master bedroom heard more road noise.
I had stayed in this area before and liked it. Buses stopped out front, and rental cars available here and across the street. A walk to Beach Walk street was just over half a mile, and Waikiki just beyond. The pool is great and we loved the lounge pool on level 2. The lagoon and beach are very close.
Very nice place! It had everything we needed. We especially appreciated the beach towels and beach equipment.

This is our 3rd time staying at the Ilikai, but our first in this condo. Loved the views, the 3 separate beds (a must for my teen and pre-teen boys), the air conditioning and the decor. We like being near the hustle and bustle of Waikiki, but near the end so it’s easy to come and go. We would definitely stay here again.

Our condo was exactly as described. Perfect view of the marina and a little walk to the beach. The condo was in a prime location, near shopping malls, beach and near the Aloha tower. We enjoyed the views and the room very much, the only things wrong were the towels smelled like mildew and the fan was very noisy when turned on. Other than that, we had an amazing stay and would use this location again.

Beautiful property with stunning views. The unit is spacious, tastefully decorated, and was exactly as pictured. There were a few kitchen items that in my opinion needed attention - a new dishwasher (the current one has broken, rusted out baskets), and more dishes (plates, frying pan, water pitcher, serving bowls and plates). Our family enjoyed our stay here and would definitely stay again.

We loved our condo. Room are Exactly as described. It was close to everything... we walked almost everywhere. When our grown kids took the car we walked from Waikiki beach to our condo in less than 30 mins, we even stopped to check out q few shops along the way. Loved Dave’s Ice cream downstairs, almost a nightly visit with our kids. Love the coffee shop downstairs... coffee and pastries every morning while we waited for the kids to get up... the view from our two/three balconies were amazing. Rooms were spacious, plenty of space for everyone. Beach towels and bath towels...surf boards, beach chairs/umbrella ...made our stay great.

Overall, we were pleased with the rental. Nearly all amenities were available. Though, I feel that the communication could have been better. Response to emails were either auto responses/duplicate or requests for call backs weren’t made until one too many voicemails/emails. For a second I thought it was not a legit rental. Until I finally heard from the property management. The view was beautiful, the AC units in the bedrooms definitely did their jobs to help eliminate the humid at night, almost too well. There were a few small items that need attention but it did. It affect the stay. Just wish we were made aware of them upon check in. Since they did provide a book with what “not to do”, maybe add, “we are aware of” and are making arrangements to fix those.

Great views. Kitchen could use a few more utensils. Beds comfortable and bathrooms good and well stocked. Definite traffic noise but it is the city. Liked that is outside the big hustle and bustle of Waikiki.
