We thoroughly enjoyed our 2-week stay at Yarden's condo at the Ilikai! The room was clean, modern, and comfortable. The sheets and the pillows were so soft - perfect for a good night's sleep. Everything we needed was there when we arrived. We used the kitchen each day for breakfast so we appreciated having a coffee maker, a tea kettle, and a toaster. The snorkeling equipment, beach chair, and other beach-day equipment available for guests to use also came in so handy (the water shoes actually fit me!). The location of this condo is also terrific. The Ilikai is located right next to the Hilton Hawaiian Village which we visited frequently (loved the penguins and tropical birds there), and there was a clear, unobstructed view of the Hilton's Friday night fireworks show from the lanai of the room (Awesome! Don't miss this!). We were also within an easy 1/2 mile walk to the Ala Moana Shopping Center in one direction and a 1/2 mile walk to the Waikiki Beach Walk in the other direction. Both locations provide great shopping and great restaurants. The bus system words impeccably - always right on schedule with friendly, helpful bus drivers. Most tour companies in Honolulu seem willing to pick up right in front of the Ilikai or at the Prince next door which was handy. There are only two downsides that came to mind during our stay: We couldn't hear the surf or waves from our room due to the steady/constant hum of the A/C units outside the room and the bathtub is small and deep making it difficult to get into and out of (a problem only for the physically challenged). Additional perks include a handy store in the lobby area, a terrific bar/happy hour spot to enjoy at the Modern Hotel right next door (harbor side) with top notch evening entertainment, a large flatscreen TV with DVD player, access to the Hilton Lagoon, and a bird's eye view of the Hilton's nightly luau from the lanai of the room. Yarden was a warm, welcoming, helpful, and responsive host. I highly recommend a stay here!
