My daughter and I recently stayed at the Ilikai Marina Condos and it was a great base from which to explore the island, close to the Ala Moana mall, highway access, beautiful views of the sunset and easy walk to nearby beaches at Hilton Hawaiian Village or Ala Moana Park. We had a tiny hiccup checking in (we happened to arrive earlier than planned, and couldn't find the security officer to ask them to hold our bags) but a call to Chris to Sun Properties and we found out we could go up because the unit had already been cleaned. Parking was convenient in the building, and the unit was very comfortable for the two of us (OK, more for my daughter who had the bedroom, I slept on the pullout sofa bed but it worked for me). The shower is a little wonky (push in the knob/dial on the wall to activate the shower, instead of pulling up on the lever that's on the main faucet) and the fridge or freezer makes an odd clicking/rattling noise from time to time (really only an issue if you're sleeping in the living room). I could hear voices in the other units as we walked through the hallway but never found it a problem once we were in the condo. I usually prefer to find lodging along the North Shore, but for staying in Honolulu/Waikiki I liked the fact that the Ilikai is a little bit away from the main strip, and if you have a car then shopping isn't really an issue (there's an ABC Superette just across the street but you'll find better prices for supplies elsewhere). All in all, a good value.
