We had a great stay at the Ilikai. Reasonably spacious, great view, good kitchen, good shower, easy access and good elevators, and a great location. This end of the beach is ideal for flat water swimming and much more sand extending out into the sea than at the Royal Hawaiian end. Windows blocked out most external air conditioning noise, hotel air ducting noise through the wall was annoying if turned off our room system. ABC and McDonalds very convenient across the road, cafe and restaurant and general store in lobby, two swimming pools (one around the corner by the restaurant).
