Great location!

Perfect place if you want to be in the middle of everything. My husband and I loved our week stay, the apt was clean, quiet and we liked the neighbourhood a lot. The Ilikai also has a great restaurant on the top floor that we recommend, we had lunch and an incredible view! Its also very closed to the Hilton lagoon and the beach. Very walkable to many places. We dined in often and the kitchen had the basic tools. As for the couch in the living room, it is not comfortable so we added a lot of pillows when using it to watch tv. All and all, we would love to go back!

Very dated property

I would not recommend that more than two people stay at this property. It was very dated and very noisy. Although people that are used to city living may not mind, it was very difficult to sleep here. If you plan on using the futon in the living room, bring your own pillows and blanket because there is only one flat pillow and a blanket with a huge hole in it.

Excellent Suite in Great Location

This place worked out perfectly for us. It was very clean and had everything we needed. We mostly ate out, but the unit had cookware and basic spices to make it easy to prepare meals when eating in. Great view from balcony with plenty of seating. The unit has been renovated recently and was in great shape. To be facing the street, traffic noise was surprisingly unobtrusive. We had friends staying in three other units in the building, and this one as by far the best. Shockingly, no one else had beach chairs or an umbrella included in their unit like we did! Highly recommended.

Vacation

Great place to stay. It is an older Hotel they have made some updates. It was a beautiful time of year to come to Hawaii with it being so close to Christmas. Lots of things to do. They have a nice restaurant in the hotel called cinnamon We had a great breakfast there the French toast was fabulous. On Friday night, we enjoyed sitting out on the boardwalk and enjoying the firework show from the hotel next-door. Then after that, we went back into the hotel and enjoyed some music. Lots of shopping in both directions from the hotel. Lots of great places to eat. Next -door to the hotel down the boardwalk you’re right onto the beach we enjoyed going out and sitting out there we saw a few turtles while sitting on the beach. Definitely would come back here.

Overall great experience. Property was clean and fairly well maintained. Two suggestions…First, WD-40 the right patio door. It was challenging to open. Second, there was no parking pass left and the instructions in the information indicated the keys, pool passes and parking pass were on the fridge. They were not

Condo was okay...

I had a couple of issues, but overall it was okay. I know there have been complaints before about the AC pan having to be emptied so I expected that, but I have to say there needs to be some sort of solution to this. It was an issue that even during the night (with the AC on) we had to get up in the middle of the night and go out on the balcony and use the shop vac that was set up conveniently next to the AC and suck the water out of the pan to avoid it overflowing. Then in the morning, I'd go get the full shop vac that I filled in the middle of the night and take it in the shower and dump it. This seemed ridiculous to have to do each night. I find it hard to believe there's no alternative--either an AC unit that does not condensate or if that's not an option, then a plumber needs to come in and create a sealed pan that has a small hose which runs back into the condo and into the drain plumbing in the kitchen or something. Also, the shower dripped. If we turned it VERY hard it would mostly stop eventually, but again it was an inconvenience. Finally, the AC unit was so loud when you're sitting on the balcony that you couldn't hear. It was an issue when talking to each other and it really took away from the experience of enjoying the view and city. Otherwise, it was well stocked and comfortable overall and the building was nice and in a great location. Thanks!

BEWARE- BED BUGS!

Upon arrival on March 1st we were moved to the Ilikai Marina due to alleged "plumbing issues". We were told it would be for the first 5 nights of our stay. We went to the original unit the next morning to get some beach chairs and Orkin Pest Control were there. We noticed that all the linens were in bags in the bathroom. We immediately texted Janna and asked if there were bed bugs- she said no and they were there for a preventative spraying. I told her that we were not comfortable going back to this unit on Wednesday and we asked to get a refund on the remainder of our stay and we would find a place. She said no refund. So we went back on Wednesday despite our better judgement and that night my daughter got bit by bed bugs. We were mortified!! We texted the host right away and she said we needed to call VRBO. She would not even call us. We first off called Orkin and got them to send us the report and sure enough they were there on March 2nd to spray for bed bugs. The host continues to deny it despite all the evidence we have presented. We have photos, reports and text message and email correspondence to back up everything we have said. All of it was sent to VRBO. Also the suite presents much better in the photos than in person. The couch is very uncomfortable and it is held together by a bungy cord. I am sure she will respond to this saying we want a free vacation etc as she has done with others but that is not the case. We can back up everything.

Cozy & Convenient

I enjoyed this place and would definitely stay again! I gave a 4 star rating due to having to pump water from the ac pan and the shower dripped a little(not a complaint at all, just mentioning it for the next tenant). This is something that you don’t find out until you get your check in instructions. The place had everything that we needed and was close to restaurants, grocery store and great shopping. Bedding was super comfy, nice appliances, hot water, smart tv(need one in the bedroom- personal opinion). This is our 2nd stay at Ilekai and it’s definitely not our last.
