We appreciated being in the Ilikai Hotel, it has some nice perks like shops at the bottom, restaurant, front desk. The cheapest overnight parking is at the marina right outside the back. We appreciated getting to use the beach gear like chairs, umbrella, towels, and inflatable paddle board. The space was perfect to make breakfast/lunch, we grocery shopped at the Food Pantry nearby. Access to the beach is amazing, we truly feel like we found the frugal gem in Waikiki!
