Very good

It was a nice stay. Valet parking was much more than stated in the description. But we did the Marina parking and it was much cheaper. Room was clean and spacious. Would have been nice to have a guide or something in the room to explain where the amenities and other shops or restaurants and things that were on the property. (Pools, gym, ice, etc.) We just had to figure it out on our own basically.

Aloha Candi — Mahalo for the review. Glad the room was clean and spacious. Thank you for flagging the valet pricing; we’ll update the listing and in-room information to make typical valet rates and the Marina parking option clearer. Also appreciate the note about an in-room guide — we’ll add a property information guide and improve signage so pools, gym, ice and on-site shops/restaurants are easier to find. Hope to welcome you back.
Mahalo, Jayson, for your kind words! We're thrilled you enjoyed our great location. Your feedback means a lot to us, and we can't wait to welcome you back for another wonderful stay!

The location was 5/5 in terms of its proximity to everything in Waikiki. It is within walking distance to so many eating options and the lagoon. The views also were amazing. However the property itself was not on the top end of quality. While the pictures show a top end unit both the Ilikai and unit itself had some less than desirable features. The Ilikai elevators were broken down for part of our stay so everyone was trying to fit into 3 elevators. Also the halls and elevators themselves were so hot. It was as if the air conditioning on the floors didn’t work. When requesting early check in it was difficult to get a response. Initially it was declined but when requested day of-I didn’t get a response, however upon review and release of the code the unit was ready. The unit had great AC but was dirty and felt unfinished. I loved that it had a cooler we could use for snacks at the beach and a beach mat-but basic amenities like soap and towels were poor.

Mahalo for the detailed feedback. Glad the location, views, and in-unit AC made your stay easier and that the beach cooler and mat were useful.
I’m sorry the unit didn’t meet cleanliness and amenity expectations and that early check-in communication was frustrating. I’ve shared your notes with our cleaning and operations teams so we can improve standards, restock better soap and towels, and tighten our early-check-in response process. Thank you also for calling out the Ilikai elevators and hallways — those are managed by building management, and we will pass your observations to them.
Thanks again for staying with us and for the constructive feedback.

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.

Aloha Luca,
Thank you for staying with us and for taking the time to share such detailed feedback. We’re glad to hear that you and your family enjoyed the convenient location, nearby transportation options, and found the kitchen well-equipped for your stay.
At the same time, we sincerely apologize that the condition of the unit did not meet your expectations. Your comments regarding cleanliness, lighting, furnishings, and overall upkeep are very important to us. This is not the standard we strive to provide, and your feedback has been shared with our housekeeping and maintenance teams for immediate review and improvement, including addressing the curtains and overall presentation of the unit.
We also appreciate your perspective on value and understand how important it is for the property to align with both the listing and guest expectations. We will continue working to ensure our accommodations are accurately represented and properly maintained.
Mahalo for your feedback, and we hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a more comfortable and enjoyable stay in the future.

The condo was clean and has wonderful views, it’s a great floor plan for four guests, nice backsplashes in the bathrooms. The resort is awesome and we enjoyed the amenities and location immensely. It’s just not what the VRBO listing shows as far as the interior pictures: No comforters on any of the beds as picturedNo lamps at all in the living roomOnly one barstool, not four as picturedOne bath faucet barely works, it’s almost disconnectedThe curtains have really big holes in them and are all hanging off the track, they look terrible. One of the bedroom curtains is completely missing the liner from the curtain so you enjoy city lights all night long…Kitchen is minimally furnished; you get one trash bag and we never found a store nearby that sold them.No screens on the sliding doors so birds and bugs get in if you wanted to leave them open. Patio furniture in the picture isn’t accurate either; there’s only one set per patio, not two on the beach view patio. The manager was very responsive via enail but did not follow through on sending in hand soap for the bathroom and one more trash bag. It’s a great condo, it just needs some attention.

Deborah — thank you for the detailed feedback and for calling out the positives about the views, layout, cleanliness, and resort amenities. I’m sorry the condo didn’t match the listing photos and for the maintenance and supply issues you found (missing comforters, no living-room lamps, only one barstool, faulty bath faucet, damaged/missing curtain liners and tracks, minimal kitchen supplies/trash bags, no screens on the slider, and patio furniture not as pictured).
We take this seriously and have notified housekeeping and maintenance to address everything: update the VRBO listing and photos, add comforters and lamps, repair the faucet and curtain tracks and replace curtains/liners, increase stocked kitchen supplies (including additional trash bags and hand soap), confirm patio seating or update photos, and evaluate installing screens on the sliding doors. I’ve also followed up about the missed supply delivery so that future stays aren’t affected.
Mahalo for bringing these to our attention — we’ll prioritize fixes to make the condo match expectations.

This place was disgusting!!! Holes in the furniture, stains on the furniture, huge holes in the curtains, curtains were not hanging properly and we couldn't open them, the cords were either not working or just torn off the rod!! 1 bar stool, NO potholders, filthy microwave, 2 dinner forks, 3 water glasses. Curtains hung over the A/C, we had to stuff them above the unit so we could get air!! Rusty bathtub, no toilet paper holder! Beds are worn out and the bedroom closet doors were off the closets and thrown in the closet! And, so much more that was wrong!! I had read in previous comments that the owner would take care of some of these problems, only reason why I rented it...but, it appears they did nothing and it has only gotten worse. I have tried contacting Grand Welcome (3 x's), before they contacted Oahu Market (supposed manager). I have called and emailed Oahu Market several times with no final answer. When I call Oahu Market, it goes straight to voicemail! I have pictures of all most of the damage, which I will publish here.I have worked with VRBO for many years and have never come across something as disgusting as this place. DO NOT RENT FROM THIS OWNER!!

Thank you, Sasha, for your feedback! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed the pool and the vibrant atmosphere. We can't wait to welcome you back for more fun and relaxation on your next visit!
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.

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,

Was a perfect place for our family of 5. Clean, spacious, great view, and perfect location. Amenities and everything that was in the place for us to use was so convenient. We would definitely stay here again.
Clean, lovely, bright, this property was spacious with a fabulous view! You get the best of both worlds here— the marina to the right and the beach to the left. This was the perfect place for our family of five!
This is not only a nice condo to stay at with great views but it is within walking distance of shops, restaurants and the beach. I found the condo to be as described in the listing. I would stay here again.
Great condo with everything we needed for a wonderful stay. Pool on property with a market and restaurant in the lobby making it very convenient. Only downside is no on-site self park so you have to park across the street or valet.

This was a truly beautiful view from every window. The property was clean and accurately described. Although there is some deferred maintenance that should be addressed, overall, the property is in good condition. We very much enjoyed our stay.
The apartment was perfect for our party of five. It was spacious enough that we didn’t feel on top of each other. The view from the balcony was amazing!

There was 7 of us staying. 3 adults and 4 adult kids. Having a sleeper sofa, and the air matresses provided were great. We were hardly there since we were out enjoying the island. It worked out great for us, and would stay again.
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. It was perfect.
