VIEW and LOCATION are both 5 star ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. I don’t think the view gets any better in Ala Moana. I even stopped by a friend’s fancy suite at the Modern Hotel next door and her ocean view was not as great. This condo’s view was stunning and humbling. So know this place is an absolute deal!!
As for accommodations, it’s simple and needs a little update which I really didn’t mind at all. I appreciated the coffee maker and beach 🏖 floaties. There is a hair dryer in the bathroom and the laundry facilities are only 3 doors down. There wasn’t closet space so I used the towel bar to hang my clothes. I brought 10 tall trash bags and dryer sheets since I didn’t want to buy large quantities I didn’t need. Bring 1-2 recycle light weight bags if you have them. I also brought my Roku so I didn’t have to search for things to watch. But everything else you can buy in Hawaii.
I only had a car a small time period when I was there since I have both family/friends who are locals. The free public parking is a 50/50 FYI. So valet if you have a car. But Target and Foodland Farms were my key places. You can walk there through the mail in 15 min. Just take a left from the Ilikai main entrance down Ala Moana Blvd and enter at the parking structure light . If you walk to Target and use Google Maps—it’s more complicated than it needs to be. But the mall map shows. Locals will attest, Foodland Farms has the best poke on the island. I also particularly enjoyed the Lilikoi Creme Brûlée and Lilikoi Bars.
But I will definitely return to this condo the next time I’m in Oahu.
