Perfect Location & Property

With only a 15 minute walk to Waikiki, this is the perfect place to stay. I have stayed in Waikiki many times in the past, and I wouldn’t recommend staying elsewhere. There is a restaurant and an old school marina pub in the same building. Coffee shops and other local restaurants within minutes.

Great location but terrible pullout sofa bed with a HUGE price tag!

The location is great with a beautiful sunset every day, clean condo, well equipped, and view of the fireworks. Here's what you need to know: noisy street, absolutely the worst sofa bed ever!!! We paid $420 USD for our kids to sleep on a sofa bed that is a piece of garbage - yes falling apart, springs you feel in your back! There is no pool and paid parking $28/day.

Bright, comfortable condo in excellent location

The condo is perfect for a couple or a single. It's compact, clean and everything is provided for a comfortable stay. I stayed for two weeks in June and especially enjoyed the access to the beach, parks and shopping. The condo is a less than five minute walk to Kahanamoku beach, a few steps further for a picnic in Fort DeRussy Park and in the opposite direction, an easy walk or quick car ride to Ala Moana park and Magic Island. The Ala Moana Center is just opposite the park and includes a large Foodland grocery store as well as a variety of small and large stores and restaurants. Many other grocery options are available within a mile or so of the condo, as are restaurants and take out at all price ranges and types of cuisine. The condo's best feature, however, is the view from the balcony: the boat harbor, the ocean with surfers riding the waves in front of you, Ala Moana Park and Magic Island to the right and Waikiki and Diamond Head to the left.

No pool

We were not happy that we had no use of a pool, only the rocky beach. The marina needs to be cleaned, it was so gross to look out the window and see all the garbage floating around. We had to buy bug spray, due to roaches! They have super strict rules of no smoking, but 2 doors down, someone was obviously dealing weed, with the smell and the traffic. Oh and the condo is right next to the garbage shoot, so it can be startling at times. We won’t be staying here again.

Aloha Shari, mahalo for your review & feedback. Yes, unfortunately the Ilikai Marina does not have a pool. We do not advertise that it does, nor show any photos with a pool for the listing. Sometimes travelers get confused between the Ilikai Hotel and the Ilikai Marina. If you would like access to a pool, we recommend that you look at the properties that we have available at the Ilikai Hotel. We apologize that there were travelers not following the no smoking rule, we always hope people follow rules and recommend guest to contact us should these type of things happens so we can notify security to investigate. We do hope that you still were able to enjoy your vacation on Oahu and hope we can assist you with a condo rental at the Ilikai Hotel for your next trip to Oahu! Warmest Aloha & Mahalo!

Lovely stay in Honolulu

Property was mostly as described. Everything was as expected except for comfort of beds. Pull-out sofa definitely needs a new mattress and some of the bindings at the bottom are broken. All pillows were awful… new pillows definitely required. Linens did not fit the main bed in the bedroom. Check-in process was relatively smooth. The initial combination given did not work but the after hours number addressed it quickly. However initial starter kit of toilet paper and paper towels were not available which was difficult when you arrive at 9 PM and there’s no toilet paper in the unit. You could invest in a few more glasses and mugs. They were basically four of each. And only two wine glasses. Inexpensive and easy to do so.

So so unit in great area

I’ve stayed in 4-5 identical units in the same building. Unfortunately I would put this one at the bottom of my list. Upon arrival there was broken towel bar in the bathroom, exhaust fan in the bathroom, didn’t work, and there was some sort of UV film on the sliding glass door that totally ruined the view of the ocean and marina when the sliding door was shut. I will give 100% kudos to the management company, who immediately sent someone out and fixed the bathroom towel bar and vent fan. allegedly there was a work order for the film on the sliding glass door but it did not get done during my visit. I just felt the poor quality of some of the furniture, the mishmash of kitchen, utensils, uncovered A/V wires up and down the wall to the TV….Just made this not the favorite unit I’ve stayed in here. For the amount I spent for a full two week visit, I think I could’ve found a unit with better, decor, better kitchen equipped, and furnishings and a warmer feel.

A Slice of Paradise

We stayed for a week and had a fabulous experience! The property was perfectly located, offering a beautiful and relaxing vista of the Waikiki Marina and proximity to the Ala Moana Center. The property itself was cozy, comfortably cool yet wonderfully vibrant with its wooden vinyl flooring and colorful furnishings. We will definitely recommend the property to our relatives and friends. It provided a slice of paradise at just the right time for me and my family.
