Easiest check in/out. This unit was perfect when it came to the view and the location. The easiest access from anywhere and the Valet (paid direct so as not to deal for a parking spot) was always nice and cordial as well as any staff who we came in contact with. Everything was perfect.

A very nice, comfortable apartment in the Ilikai Hotel. Bed was comfortable, bathroom was beautiful, balcony had a nice view, and it was great to have a full kitchen. The property was close to the beach, shopping, restaurants, and easy public transportation. Check-in/out was easy, and management communicated well. We would definitely stay here again.

Gloria’s condo was wonderful! The area was excellent and was very accessible to the start of the marathon.
The beds are very comfortable; as is the couch.
Can’t say enough about the balconies and oh my goodness… the views! The Ilikai has easy access to the beach. What a joy to go to the coffee shop every morning then walk over to enjoy watching the surfers and the sunlight hitting Diamond Head!
Gloria was very responsive to my questions.
I was going to rent a car during my stay but I am happy I did not. It was so easy to Uber to places and The Bus is very accessible. I rented a car for one day and it was very easy!
Mahalo Gloria for letting us stay at your condo and making our trip “one for the books!”

The place was clean and comfy. The kitchen could have used a few more items like plastic wrap or bags, or some kind of containers to store left-over food, but there were enough dishes, cups and silverware. Parking was valet only so it took some time to get your car, but the people were great. Could have also used some directions about the pool. We tried to go down one night only to find out it was already closed. We also did not get any kind of close out directions, but I think everything was fine since we haven't heard anything. Overall it was a great alternative to a hotel room and it was in a great location. Also - I am glad they fixed the vertical blinds. New blinds worked great.

Christy (the host) was the best to work through VRBO customer service issues. She's very patient and was always available. Truly a remarkable host.
The pictures of the condo property are right on, and the view from the lanai is spectacular. The condo was very clean and stocked with most of what you would find at your home. The partition to block off bed area from the living space is a bonus and was much appreciated for those going to bed early. Bed was comfortable. It was a bonus to have beach chairs, towels, boogie boards, umbrella, and if you have children, there are some pool/beach items for them as well. From our lanai, there was no noise from the pool area, nor anywhere in our area. We were able to view 2 Hula shows from our lanai that were taking place across the street at the Hilton. Plus, there's a Friday Hula Show within the courtyard of the Ilikai. Wakaki Beach is within walking distance, as is many restaurants, shops, or sunset boat cruises. We were up every day to see the sunrise from our lanai and then view the sunset which is just a few minutes' walk to the beach. Pesca restaurant elevator was great for a bird's eye view of the harbor and sunset. Food and service were excellent. The Ilikai and this condo added to the best part of our 8-day trip to Oahu.
Looking forward to returning and would only stay at the condo. Thank you, Christy, for the effort that you put forth to make this condo a great place to stay for your guests.

Location is perfect. Waikiki was crowded and the Ilikai had all the facilities (including beach) within very short distances. Great to have a 2 bedroom apartment rather than trying to manage the family in hotel rooms.

This is a large studio apartment, with the ability to separate the bedroom and living area. It is a little dated, but who cares, it is clean and the location is perfect. The balcony is large and has beautiful views of Marina, ocean and sunset. It is just a short walk to the beach, lagoon, Ala Moana Park and the mall. The little coffee shop on site offers delicious coffee and breakfasts, for those who don’t want to cook. We look forward to return stays here.

I recently had the pleasure of staying in this charming apartment at the iconic Ilikai Hotel, and it was the perfect beachfront getaway.
Location: 5/5
Right on the beach with stunning ocean views, it’s hard to beat this spot. The Ilikai is ideally located near Waikiki Beach, Ala Moana Center, and great dining options.
The Apartment: 4.5/5
The space is compact but comfortable, ideal for solo travelers or couples. It features a cozy queen bed, a small kitchenette, and basic amenities. Storage is a bit tight, but for a short stay, it works great.
Amenities: 4/5
The Ilikai has 2 pools, a nice restaurant (just opened), shops, and a welcoming vibe. The water was pretty warm and perfect for morning swims.
Views: 5/5
The highlight of this place is the view! The ocean vistas from the apartment are incredible—perfect for watching sunsets or enjoying the morning sunrise.
Communication: 10/5
Jana was incredibly responsive and always available, both before and during my stay. Her prompt replies and attentive service made the entire experience seamless.
I couldn’t have asked for a better spot to relax and unwind in Waikiki! I will, actually am, recommend this place to family and friends and will for sure come back

This property has fantastic views of the Marina and the lagoon at the Grand Waikiki, as well as unforgettable sunsets over the vast Pacific. Magic Island and Kahanamoku Beach are short walks and all of Waikikiis nearby. The unit itself is clean, well-appointed and very nice. I would definitely stay here again!

We had an outstanding stay at this property. The suite had everything we needed plus many extras such as beach chairs, cooler, blender and rice cooker that we really appreciated. The bed and the sofa bed were comfortable. The unit was close to the laundry room and trash room which was very convenient. We had breakfast on the lanai every day and enjoyed the amazing view! The Ilikai itself is a great property in terms of location, a great pub, and very helpful and friendly staff. The property management company was very responsive. We would highly recommend this property and will come back in the future!

A great apartment location with a nice view of the ocean. The bed and the sofa a bit worn, as was the sofa on the balcony. Otherwise I enjoyed being able to use the kitchen which was well supplied with everything you'd need to cook and dine.

It was okay. Very noisy area so no sleep until about 3am. Could hear everything…drunk people hooting and hollering, loud motorcycles, revving engines, etc. Definitely a dated property; sliding doors to bedroom and bathroom were janky, lock to outdoor patio rusty, etc. Futon was hard as a rock even with wgg crate topper. Had to use blow up mattress for one person. We were not given any toilet paper so immediately had to go to store. It was okay, not terrible but definitely not the Hilton.

Lodging convenient for our stay in Waikiki. Updated, clean unit with comfortable bedding and towels, adequate for our 3-night stay. Kitchen could have used more dish towels, and a dish drying mat. Had we cooked in the unit, there were no potholders or any spices, etc. In the bedrooms, there was one side of each larger bed that had approximately 6 inches to move between the bed and wall/window, which was difficult. There was 24-hour road noise from the street, but we would stay here again.

The owner of the condo was very easy to work with throughout the entire process of reserving, paying for, and staying at this property. My wife and I highly recommend staying at this condo to everyone. You will not regret your decision.

We had rental car for day trips and it was sometimes hard to find parking in the nearby $1/hour spaces, but worked out okay. We recommend this property

We enjoyed our stay. Everything was as described. The unit was essentially clean but some structural areas (closets, partitions, patio) could use a bit of maintenance and TLC. The service provided by Jean at Captain Cook was top notch. Excellent communication and very obliging. Thank you for the late check out! We loved the location as it was in a quieter area of Waikiki. The pool and nearby lagoon were awesome. Would love to return to the Ilikai.

Overall we were happy with the room that included a kitchen. However, there were missing pans so we couldn’t make breakfast our first morning there. However, I contacted management and they brought the pans up to the room. The TV was in an odd place so it was hard to see it from the bed without moving furniture.

The good - The location is perfect, and the view is amazing. I had lots of company over for Thanksgiving, and everyone loved the condo and the view, and price was a bargain compared to other properties I looked at.
Could be improved - It could use some TLC. Slow drains, and plastic bags over a smoke detector for some reason. Nothing worth contacting the management company over, but I own STRs, so I'm kinda picky. We were there a bit over a week, and most of the laundry equipment wasn't working. We really could have used more towels for the length of our stay, and ended up having to try every machine within five floors to find equipment that worked. We tried drying the towels on the balcony, but security doesn't like that. Had I known, I just would have bought more towels rather than waste the time. That being said, nothing was serious enough to warrant anything less than 5 stars, and I would absolutely stay here again.

When we arrived the condo was not cleaned from previous stay. Bed was not made and could see all the stains on the mattresses and pillows. Furniture was all over the place. Bathroom was filthy. Hair dryer wasn’t working. Towel rack broken and fell off wall. Wasn’t a great first impression having to start our vacation seeing that and then dealing with having to call and wait for cleaner. Condo is dated, old appliances, rough around the edges. Only real positive is location, right by Marina and mall. Management was easy to talk to, very accommodating given the circumstances. Wouldn’t stay here again
