The Ilikai has it all!!! We absolutely loved the location of the condo along Waikiki. The short walk to the beach was close enough, without being too deep into the hustle and bustle of the busy tourist area. We can't emphasize enough, the convenience of having all of the shops and restaurants in the lobby of the building. Being able to run downstairs to grab a bite to eat, pick up a coffee, or find medication was extremely useful. The room itself also exceeded expectations. The space is larger than a traditional hotel room, which enabled us to spread out and store all of the gifts we bought without feeling too cramped. Being on the 3rd floor does allow for more noise to be heard in the room, but for the most part, the sliding glass doors did a decent job muting most of the conversations happening in the courtyard. Being able to hear some of the music being played was actually kind of pleasant. The major plus, is that the room comes with a reserved parking spot in the covered garage beneath the building. Most other locations along Waikiki either don't have parking, or charge a ridiculous nightly fee. We also have to highlight how pleasant Paul the property manager was to work with. He was very responsive every time we called and made every effort to accommodate us. The only note I would make clear to future guests is that the laundry is a coin operated communal shared machine with the rest of the floor, so you don't really have free access to wash your clothes whenever you want. We honestly hope to stay at the Ilikai again on our next visit to Oahu.
