Just imagine your home away from home – whether you're on vacation, or on a temporary business assignment; or travelling with your children, or visiting by yourself. Stay in this luxuriously renovated 1 bedroom, it comes with a retractable partition wall, sleep in an ultra plush "Chattam & Wells" California King-size bed, sink yourself in a leather sofa & loveseat, use the flat screen HDTV, DVD, stereo, A/C, fully equipped granite-topped kitchen, granite-topped bathroom with thick terry-cloth towels. The closets are spacious and dresser drawers are ample. You will also find a plush folding futon for additional guests. The spacious lanai comes with a table setting and a lounge chair and is perfect for outdoor relaxing and private resort dining. The lanai comes with the original sliding "Ilikai Louvres" for added privacy. Kick back and become mesmerized by the fabulous ocean and lagoon sights and sounds on the cooler side of the Ilikai.
The Ilikai sits on the shoreline so a visit to Waikiki beach is steps away. In the evening watch Uncle Richard perform the traditional torch lighting ceremony (as he has been doing for over 45 years!) then celebrate the breathtaking sunset. On Friday evenings, wander to the courtyard and listen to harmonic mele (songs) sung by Kawika’s Hawaiian trio and dance troupe.
Lounge at the pool or enjoy a meal or snack at one of the restaurants or lounges nearby. Savor a cup of coffee downstairs in the Coffee Shop before or after your early morning power walk. The Ilikai Bar & Grill is open for cocktails from 11 am until closing. They also serve breakfast beginning at 6 am, lunch at 11 am and dinner from 6 pm to 8 pm. Stroll down our private footbridge, around the Lagoon, chat with the local fishermen at the sea wall, and continue your stroll along Waikiki Beach. Walk the length of Waikiki Beach enjoying the laughter of children, the hiss of the surf, or the shouts of surfers as they ride the waves. Enjoy the torch lighting ceremony and hula at Kuhio Beach.
Our 10th floor lanai offers a front row seat to the Friday night fireworks display as dazzling pyrotechnics soar high above the lagoon and explode into shimering colorful arrays of light against the blackness of the night. The Ilikai is a treat and we hope you experience the love we have for our hale (home).
Jump on a bus and travel to the Aloha Tower Marketplace, listen to the sounds of our famous local musicians: The Makaha Sons, the Cazimero Brothers, Jake Shimabokuru , Sistah Robi Kahakalau, Jerry Santos and others. Explore the richness of Chinatown. Go back with us in time as you wander inside the hallowed halls of the Bishop Museum. Visit the US Army Museum at Fort DeRussy, then walk back along the beach walkway to the Hilton Hawaiian Village and its Rainbow Bazaar. Take a short walk and explore the awesome Ala Moana Shopping Center and its famous "Food Court" then cross the street and walk around Magic Island. Stay with us at the Ilikai and enjoy luxurious surroundings in paradise.
For the business traveler, we are within walking distance to the Hawaii Convention Center and all other major hotels along Waikiki including the Hilton, the Hale Koa, the Sheraton, Trump Towers, the Marriott, the Hyatt and the Ala Moana at far less their room cost.
For the acadamian or the physician, we are minutes away from the University of Hawaii Manoa, Chaminade University, Leeward and Windward Community Colleges, Kaiser Permanente and Tripler Medical Center.
We offer first class amenities at a low price. There is so much to do here with so much to write about, and I haven't even mentioned where the best local "grinds" (eateries) are, how to compare shave ice, sample tasty malasadas... and I'm running out of space... Mahalo Nui!!
Fun Facts:
Hawaii is still growing (Lo'ihi, a new seamount 20 miles off the Big Island of Hawai'i, is giving birth to the chain's next island — due to rise above the waves in another 60,000 years)
The Hawaiian alphabet consists of only twelve letters - the 5 vowels are A, E, I, O, U and the 7 consonants H, K, L, M, N, P and W.
Paradise Cove Luau, the largest luau in the State of Hawaii, cooks 127.5 tons of kalua pig each year for its nightly luaus.
Hawaii is the only U.S. state that grows coffee (on the Big Island and Kauai).
Hawaii has its own time zone. It’s called Hawaiian Standard Time. There is no daylight savings time in Hawaii, which means that in summer, Hawaii is two hours behind the U.S. West Coast, while in winter, Hawaii is three hours behind the U.S. West Coast.

Aloha! E Komo Mai! (Greetings and Welcome!)
Year Purchased: 2004
Why the Owner Chose Ilikai Hotel Condos
Words can never truly describe the alluring romance that dances in your mind once you have fallen in love with Oahu. "Hale Aloha Aina" reflects why we chose the Ilikai for our home. 'Hale' means Home or dwelling, 'Aloha' means Love, and 'Aina' means Land. "House of the loving land" While our home is quaint and modest, the land is luxurious and prestigious. The sound of the surf, the smell of tropical flowers, the freshness of the sea breezes, the staccato rhythm of Polynesian drums and the melting pot of a diverse group of people from around the world makes visiting Oahu a truly memorable experience. Every new day brings a new adventure. Come and stay for a while... "E hele mai i ka hale a" (Our home awaits you).

Owner's Map of Ilikai Hotel Condos
Throwing caution to the wind and taking an enormous leap of faith, we decided to purchase this condominium not knowing what we were really getting into. That was in December 2004 when the vacation rental business was really starting to take off... but who would rent it? Are there really people out there like us who truly love the romance, the mystique, the history and ambience of Hawaii as much as we do? The answer was YES! Our particular condominium has proven to be a destination spot for vacationers, travelers seeking a romantic getaway to celebrate special occasions including honeymoons, anniversaries and birthdays - and also business travelers. We have been amazed at the success. Who would have ever thought that our modest condominium would capture the hearts of so many guests from all over the world? Our 'hale' has now become our passion. We wish to share it with you; make it your "hale away from hale". We feel very blessed to be the "caretakers" of this small parcel of paradise and we feel even more blessed to be able to share it with you. 'Mahalo nui loa!'

Hi Carl, It was such a wonderful vacation, we loved it. It was difficult to come back to Calgary. The condominium was very pleasant, great location, quiet, close to the restaurants, luxury row and the mall. Overlooking the ocean and the lagoon, we sat out on the veranda every morning and evening. We took your advice and went to the Polynesian Cultural Centre and took a tour of the Island. It was great! Thank you for everything.

Hello Carl, We just arrived home from our wonderful trip in Hawaii. We had a great stay at your condo & I've already recommended your place to some friends... the condo was tidy, great views from lanai and in an ideal location. Next time we are in Waikiki we would definitely like to rent your place again! Also many thanks to Darcel for being so helpful. Best regards, Christiane

Hi Carl I just wanted to say thank you for making us to stay at your condo. The condo was very comfortable and the location was perfect for strolloling around. Japan is getting cold and we really miss the weather in Hawaii! We hope to be able to go back there in the future. Best regards, Kiyo

Dear Mr. Peralta, My wife and I had a great time in Honolulu and we appreciate the opportunity to stay in Unit 1018 during the two weeks that were there. The accommodations suited our needs to a tee. Your property management company did a good job in the check in / checkout process. Thanks and all the best for the Christmas season and the New Year. Regards,
