We just returned from a wonderful holiday at the Ilikai hotel and luxury suites. After looking at several other suites in the building, we booked suite 309 for 11 nights for my husband and I and our 3 kids (ages 9, 11 & 13), because of its large square footage compared to other units, and it was great! Suite 309 has a fully equipped kitchen with everything needed to make meals. We loved the open-air lobby at the Ilikai which led out to the harbour and onto a beautiful sandy beach and lagoon. The owner was very responsive and helpful. We contacted him a couple of times and he provided a prompt response. While Waikiki beach is walking distance for daily outings, the beach in front of the hotel was also beautiful at all times of the day and evening. We often saw giant sea turtles swimming alongside us. On Friday evening, in the lobby there was live music and hula dancers, which we enjoyed watching as a family. We used the swimming pool, which was relaxed and not too crowded and had comfortable loungers and umbrellas. The unit is just a short walk to the Ala Moana mall, which has a great selection of shops as well as a Foodland grocery store. We also enjoyed a variety of restaurants nearby: The Aloha Kitchen and Sunny’s Local Grind had great breakfasts as well as we found the nearby Food Trucks had good selection for the entire family. We are definitely happy we chose the Ilikai suite 309 for our memorable family holiday and we would love to come back!

Map directions were not correct. Photos showed a cleaner place. Overall an ok stay

The condo was a great size and in the perfect location. Unfortunately the beds were probably the worst I have ever slept on.

Awesome place, accommodations, location. Perfect short walk to beach .

Perfect location for what we like to do. Car rental available in the lobby. Very nice eating establishments. Kitchen suited our needs. However the carpet was stained and both mattresses in the second room need to be replaced. The owner was very easy to work with. The unit was on the third level, so not alot of wait time in the elevators.

The unit comfortably accommodated two couples. Kitchen had everything needed to prepare and serve a few meals. Honolulu is expensive so this is a boon to those travelling on a budget. Arvis was a pleasant host and allowed us a late checkout which was appreciated. If you are looking for a clean, simple, and central Waikiki rental, this is it.

Nice location. First impression opening door, door jam filthy dirty. Furnishings are a bit outdated at the location. Flooring needs to be cleaned or replaced. The beds were very uncomfortable. I was disappointed we each had only one bath towel to use. This meant we had to do laundry more frequently. Laundry location convenient to room, but not the cleanest and no trash can in the room to empty lint from dryer.

It was a beautiful, stress free experience for what we were going through. We did do a lot of tourist things, but I don’t think you can come here without that.
