Room very outdated . Manager was rude and suggested room was smelling like mold because we anre unclean :). Horrible customer service . Location was great, the view was excellent.

The condo is nicely located. Close to everything. It was well stocked. The pools are amazing. Coin operated(or credit/debit card)washer and dryer located almost across from the unit. The condo itself could use a remodel. We would stay there again.

My partner and myself always stay in this building when visiting Waikiki.
We find this location perfect for our stays has it has all the convenience of shopping,transport,bars & restaurants.
This unit is just as described.Its little dated and could do with some paint touch ups,however its clean,comfortable and good air con if required.
Overall excellent value and would not hesitate to recommend as a choice of stay.

We had an amazing time at this condo. We never thought we were resort people until we stayed here. First of all, you can't beat the view! We loved sitting on the lanai, and the added bonus of the Friday night fireworks! The Ilikai building is charming and we loved everything about the grounds. My kids had a great time at the pool, and the location couldn't be beat! We were all sad to leave! Thank you!

My wife and I stayed at this beautiful property for 3 nights before our Norwegian Cruise. What a great start to our 35th Anniversary vacation! Location was excellent. Close to everything. We ate at the fabulous restaurants within walking distance so we never used the kitchen.
We rented a car and there was lots of parking options in the area. $28-$45 per night.

A 1 week stay.
The location right next to Hilton Hawaiian Village and walking distance to Ala Moana.
Well equipped kitchen and large balcony overlooking the pools, lagoon and ocean.
The pools are great.
The apartment must be updated. It needs refurbishing completely.
The curtains, kitchen, bathroom etc needed to be redone. Furniture is ok but the sofa bed is not good.

The property was exactly as described. The view was amazing. We also enjoyed Dave’s Ice Cream. We would definitely stay here again. It was nice to watch the fireworks from our balcony. It is also very convenient.

We had a fantastic week in this place. Stayed there as a family of four. As we were out all day, the space was absolutely fine. It is well equipped and had everything we needed. The view from the balcony is breathtaking. We enjoyed the walking distance to the beaches and shopping. We parked our car in the Marina parking garage which is only 2 minutes away.

We had such a great time. The place was great for what we needed. It was a good location and beautiful view. It had everything we needed. Only downside was the pots and pans were really well used and needed to be replaced. We didn’t want to cook with them. I also didn’t care about the room dividers just personal preference and therefore didn’t use them. The place could use some updating and was being worked on as it got a new couch after we checked out. Overall this place worked well for us on our trip and would rent again. The owner was nice and easy to communicate with.

We had an amazing stay. The location and the view of the condo made it incredible. The best part was all the beach items the host provided. The host had a beach cart for us to haul the beach chairs, cooler, and boogie board. We would stay at the condo again in a heartbeat.

This is the second time we stayed at Ilikai in as many months. We stayed for 3 nights Dec 30, 2023 as a pre-cruise tour of Waikik. We enjoyed the property so much that we booked 6-nights early February 2024.
This time the condo unit is by comparison, aged but clean.
However, all elevators in the building stopped working for a full day and remain two-thirds not functional for the balance of our stay. For a 25+ storied building, it was very hard for the residents. We are a couple in our late 70's. Carrying luggage for multi-floors/stairs was nearly impossible.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Waikiki at the Ilikai Hotel VRBO. The bed was wonderful and firm. Air conditioning worked well. Pools were great. We had a lovely experience. Thank you.

We had a great prestay before our cruise. The room is a bit dated but well maintained and clean. Updated bath and kitchen. Great location to Waikiki but away from mass congestion. We watched the Friday night fireworks from our balcony. This property is a great value and easy walking to ABC store, shopping and activities. Thank you.

This condo was in a great location. Close to the beach and walking distance to shopping centers.
Only con was that there were no beach towels provided. Other than that, great stay and highly recommend!

Perfect location. The condo had a great view of the ocean, pools and lagoon. The condo itself was slightly worn down but clean. Minutes from the beach. Two nice pools. There are numerous restaurants and shops within walking distance of the resort. The ocean is quite rocky but we managed with water shoes and saw lots of sea turtles! Overall great experience. We would highly recommend.

Overall great location. View is good. Had a great time awesome bell and car valet. Coded entry is great idea don’t need to mess with anyone just straight to the room and don’t need to carry a key card!

This place was a cute little condo that served it’s purpose…a clean place to lay our heads at night. It is a little dated but who comes to Hawaii to stay in their room all day, not me. All amenities were available to us…linens, towels, hygiene, kitchen supplies, beach supplies (even a wagon to carry and pull all these things) etc. and if anything else was needed, it was only a short elevator ride downstairs in the hotel/condo lobby store. Balcony view was great to wake up to every morning. Parking was fine, as stated. We parked in the marina garage ($28 per day), which was a short walk away passing through the adjacent hotel (can be tedious, if you’re tired or have to go to the bathroom) but it was nice exercise for all the good food I was eating. Parking spots were always available when we returned back for the night. Host was very responsive and even let us check in early. No complaints here, would definitely stay here again! Mahalo!

The unit has a stunning view, you can actually see the ocean from bed! Description and photos are very accurate. There is laundry in the same level, easy access to swimming pools and beach/lagoon from unit. I have nothing to complain about the unit and we would stay there again next time we visit Hawaii. We love our stay!!

I enjoyed the stay at the llikai, the entry of the Motel was very clean, it was nice to walk into, the workers were very helpful. The room was clean just a few things need updating, overall I really enjoyed the room, view was fantastic! P.s. the balcony needed a bite more tender Love! As floor on balcony needs a scrub! 🤔 Pools areas were fantastic. 😎😎

Central location to access lots of shopping and big city part of Hawaii. Not for those looking for a quiet relaxing destination, this is big city/tourism Hawaii. Also, you have to supply all your own simple kitchen items, they do not provide sugar, salt, pepper, zip loc baggies, or any other simple things that other vrbo’s do. Overall very cool location and nice space!

We had stayed in this building 7 years ago and when we planned another trip to Honolulu we decided to go back to the building. Our unit was very clean, well equipped with dishes, pots and pans, bed was comfortable. The kitchen cabinets and stove are a bit dated … but that would be the only improvement I could see. The view from the balcony is amazing …. Location is very good. Walmart is about a 20 minute walk for our groceries. I would come back to this unit. Thank you

I traveled with my teenage daughter. I was born and raised on Oahu in the Waikiki area ( my family is now mainland and big island) so we were on our own.The Ilikai seemed a good choice and it was. The view was lovely and just as pictured. The services and immensities of the hotel are wonderful. The cleanliness of the unit was not the best, though I understand that is a contractor's issue. There was garbage and food and ketchup all over the garbage area under the sink upon our arrival. It was remedied with a trip to the managers but... the overall cleanliness was sub par for an otherwise nice unit. The bed was very comfortable but a fitted sheet instead of a too small sheet for the base would have been much more so. There was no way to tuck it in so it could stay put through the night. I like to cook and did often and the kitchen was serviceable enough. I would definitely like to stay in the unit again and would recommend it. It is an excellent value for the view and amenities.

Upon arriving at the hotel, we asked the valet lady if we just unload, and they take the car. She walked away from us. So, then I went to her counter to ask again, to be frank she was a witch with a B! We refused to park there the next 3 days of our stay. Paid less than half the price in the marina next door and so much happier. The price we had to pay for cleaning was crazy, then to find a dead lizard/geico beside the bed. There is no ceiling vent in bathroom, wallpaper is peeling and seems to have mold where the seams meet. The water beaded above our head in shower. And nearly feel first time using toilet it's SO low to the ground, terrible for someone with hip/knee problems. Couldn't find a remote for AC and wasn't climbing on the bed, we froze at night. The bed should have deep pocket sheets, the one on there came untucked every night. Best part was the view.

The positives are, the Ilikai, it's in a good location with great amenities. This was our third stay at the Ilikai but this time we were pretty disappointed. What I can say good about this unit is the view, it's fantastic, and the bed was comfy. The online pictures show a dated condo unit, but it looks clean, right? That is not what it looks like in reality. In reality the walls, kitchen cupboards, refrigerator and front door are covered in black scuff marks and stains, and are sticky, the wallpaper is peeling, here there and everywhere, the cupboards and drawers smell awful like old musty moldy wood. Kitchen utensils, and dishes are quite dated and were not very clean. There are several chips in the floor and stains along the trim and door frames. The furniture is extremely worn and stained. Even the patio was dirty and the patio furniture was stained and very old. I wish I was able to attach some real pictures of this unit on this review. It's obvious that this condo has not been maintained well for many years, dated is fine but this goes beyond. Pay $50 to a $100 more a night for another unit here, we wish we had.

This unit is not an upscale condo but has some very nice features. The views are exceptional, it’s reasonable, and very clean. The patio furniture is not very comfortable but you’re in Hawaii so you’re not really sitting on the patio much. I would definitely rent again.

The bedding was old the bottom sheet was everywhere but on the mattress. The cupboards had a mildew smell the couch worn out sank to the floor. Best part pools amazing care of the actual property dynamite great view of Friday fireworks. For a small sum of money the uncomfortable lanai chairs could be replaced and the ten cent table. The curtains don’t close completely these small things could make a huge difference And the wallpaper in the bathroom is coming off the wall. Teresa

My daughter and I had our first girls get away, and this location was perfect! Right on the beach. The view from the room was incredible. Walking distance to everything we needed, and car rental in lobby. We would definitely stay here again. Thanks!

We wanted to be near the Marina to avoid the heavy beach crowd and the location is exactly what we wanted. Beachside location, access to local restaurants and beautiful sunsets was on our list and this rental provided it perfectly.

This property is the perfect size for 2! It is a a great location on waikiki beach. All the things you need for a get away are provided. I needed to contact the owner and they responded right away. Very easy to work with and very accommodating. Would definitely recommend this property to anyone looking at a vacation in Oahu!!

The location was perfect. The view was amazing. The Ilikea hotel pools were quiet and relaxing. The hotel was next to the Hilton, we ate at a few of their restaurants and enjoyed shopping there. The bed at the condo was extremely comfortable. The pull out couch is horrible, I don’t think anyone would be able to sleep on it. It was fine as me and my sister just shared the king sized bed. Perfect condo for the price!

Everything went smooth, very satisfied with my choice so I would be looking forward to staying here again at the similar price I booked at. Wifi and A/C unit worked great, there is 3 types of elevators to choose from, so min wait time and every floor has its own laundry room for everyone's convenience. Waikiki is such fun place to visit where you can see green see turtles 🐢 and tropical fish in the water right in front of the Rainbow Tower in Hilton Village. I loved biking to my fav destinations and getting groceries along the way (tip: buy beach cruiser bike on Craigslist like I did 😉). Watching Aloha Friday night fireworks from lanai is an amazing experience!
Mahalo until next time!!

We just returned from our trip to Hawaii with our grown kids. We rented this room for our daughter and son-in-law. Great location, great view, nice pool, comfy bed, a few start-up amenities, great A/C. It is in need of some TLC. Wallpaper is in poor shape, cupboards need a fresh coat of paint, floor has some chips in it. They were fine with it - but I was a little surprised at how run down it looked. They weren't in their room much, so they were ok with it.

We stayed at the Ilikai with our extended family and we each had our own room. This unit had the most accurate listing and the best view! You can see the ocean from the bed!
The reviews bemoaning the need for updating aren’t wrong necessarily, but there are literally thousands of other rooms to book if you are looking for a fancy suite. This unit was affordable and helped make Hawaii a possibility for us! Mahalo!

As advertised. Clean and comfortable room in a resort setting. Close to beach and Ala Moana shopping center.
Great view and the lanai was never fully in the sun so it was usable throughout the day.

Overall the property was not good quality. The sofa was very old and dirty, it consisted of a paper thin mattress which provided poor support and uncomfortable sleep. The dishes were also old and kitchen was not cleaned upon arrival. We spent several hours cleaning and washing the preexisting dishes before using them. In addition, the TV was in poor condition as the remote was not functioning properly. There were not enough chairs on the balcony for the three members in my family and the chairs were old metal which were very uncomfortable and provided no support. The fridge and cooking supplies were also in old condition and need to be replaced and renewed. The condition of the apartment overall was very poor.

Beautiful view- as shown in listing. Right next to lagoon and steps to the ocean. The pools were not that crowded so that was great. If there was one drawback, it was just at certain times the wait d for an elevator was long.

This condo is in a great location with a nice view of the ocean. The “bedroom” is just sliding fabric doors that don’t go all the way to the ceiling. So it gives you some privacy, but doesn’t eliminate noise. The condo could use some updating, but it worked for our needs. Overall though it is a nice place, in a good location and I would recommend it.

The view of the lagoon and beach from this condo are nice, however the condo itself is not an inviting environment. The bed had clean linens, but the entire condo could benefit from a deep clean. The walls and doors have lots of marks on them and dust piled behind the bed and on the lamp shades. The dishes had to be washed before being used due to fingerprint marks. The couch is dirty and was not an inviting area to relax. The king size bed was nice, however it is hard and squeaks with any movement. The hotel had long wait times for the elevator. The bath towels were nice, but it would be nice to have beach towels at a beach condo.

Almost everything well within walking distance, and super efficient to get an Uber if needed. Nice little grocery 2 blocks away so you can use that full kitchen well. Giant sliding glass doors make this almost feel like you are outside when in the room. If you are going to stay in Waikiki this is an excellent choice. Very comfy all around.

We were a 25 minute walk to Waikiki. I thought we'd be a little closer but it wasn't a big deal. The condo amenities were dated but we weren't there a lot so again not a big deal. The property manager was informative and responded to any questions I had on a timely basis. All and all, I nice place to stay if you're ok with a little bit of walking to get to the beach and shopping.

Near the beaches ⛱️. The view from the Balcony was fabulous. We could see far out into the ocean. Lots of restaurants around.
Kitchen was a well appointed. Nice King sized bed you could lay on and look out the floor to ceiling windows.
Nice bathroom with big shower and storage space.
We would stay there again.
