Stayed with our family of 6. Pros: great location within walking distance to beach, stores and waikiki area about 20min or bus stop is a few min away. Kitchen was decently equipped.Cons: as soon as we walked in the place was not as bright as the photos let on. It was musty and grimmy. The walls and doors are dirty, the furniture and beds are all worn (definetly not new as ad stated), the curtains were all torn. The place definetly shows its age, its a very old building. I suppose when comparing relative prices to other places in the area its kind of expected but still very expensive.

My family and I had a fantastic stay at the Ilima Suite in The Ilikai. The condo was exactly as described – spacious, clean, and comfortable, with breathtaking ocean views from every room. Waking up to see the surf and enjoying sunsets made our trip incredibly memorable. The location is hard to beat. We loved being close to the action of Waikiki while still in a slightly quieter spot; it was the perfect base for exploring Honolulu. The condo was fresh and clean upon our arrival. The condo is well-appointed and felt like a home away from home. We were three adults, and the two bedrooms and two bathrooms gave everyone plenty of space and privacy. The living area was spacious with a big sofa and table for 6. Although we did not cook, we appreciated the fully equipped kitchen as it allowed us to have coffee and snacks in the condo. There are a few restaurants and a convenience store right in the building lobby as well as Dukes Lagoon for surfing lessons and board rental. Duke’s service and pricing were outstanding! There are several ABC Stores close by which made it easy to grab a quick bite or last-minute items. Communication and check-in were smooth and professional. This property is managed by a local company (Grand Welcome Vacation Rentals), and they sent us detailed instructions ahead of time. The check-in process was effortless. Getting into the condo was no problem at all with the key code and clear directions provided. Having a key code is nice that you do

Aloha Shannon — Mahalo for this wonderful review. So glad your family enjoyed the Ilima Suite, the ocean views, sunsets, and the convenient Waikiki location. It’s great the two bedrooms/two baths, spacious living area, and fully equipped kitchen met your needs, and that check-in with the key code was smooth. Glad Dukes and the nearby ABC Stores were helpful as well. We look forward to welcoming you back on a future trip. Mahalo, Grand Welcome Hawaii

Aloha ONeil ohana, Mahalo for sharing your feedback. We’re very sorry to hear that your experience did not meet expectations. This is not the standard we aim to provide, and we understand how disappointing it must have felt to arrive and feel the unit was not in the condition you anticipated. We would have appreciated the opportunity to address these concerns during your stay so we could make things right immediately. We have since reviewed your comments and photos with our housekeeping and quality-control teams, and corrective steps have already been taken to ensure this does not happen again. Your comfort is important to us, and we truly appreciate you bringing this to our attention. If you’re open to it, we’d welcome the chance to speak directly and regain your trust for a future stay. Mahalo again for your feedback, Grand Welcome ohana

This was the perfect location

I used to live on Oahu so I know it pretty well. I thought this location would be ideal and it sure was. What I was pleasantly surprised with was the 2 bedroom condo, which was perfect for our two families. The kids slept on the fold out couch and each couple had a room. The view was phenomenal.

Great apartment in Waikiki for young family

The unit was a nice spot for our young family. Playpen was provided for baby to sleep in. There were sand toys, beach towels and beach chairs available for us to use. Functional kitchen. The pullout bed worked okay for a child, but would not be very soft for an adult to sleep on. The building is older; this unit has been renovated. Very easy to walk to the beach using the pedestrian ramp that connects to the lobby level. You first access the Hilton lagoon area (which is public), then can continue to main Waikiki beach. The lobby level swimming pool water was kept warm, my kids loved it on cooler/windy days. Onsite restaurants and shopping was convenient, and lots of restaurants and shops in the Hilton Hawaiian Village next door, very easy to walk to.
