We really enjoyed our stay at the Patrick's place. Relaxing on the lanai with an early morning coffee was amazing. Also, lanai facing NW so shady most of the time, which we liked. (Can't see the Friday night fireworks, but you can always go down to the lagoon to watch them.) Bed and pillows were also very comfy.
The Ilikai is away from the busy part of Waikiki but it's walking distant to the Ala Moana Mall, and it was nice to go for a run in the Ala Moana Park which is right across from the mall.
We had an issue with a faulty smoke alarm going off randomly, but Terry, the onsite manager quickly dealt with getting it replaced.
Overall, a very pleasant stay.
