We stayed at this apartment over Christmas 2016. The set up of the apartment is great - sea views from a spacious balcony, full kitchen facilities etc. The air con worked perfectly and the bed was comfortable. Annie provided yummy cookies, water and fruit on our arrival which was great after a long flight.

We did have an issue when we first arrived with the cleanliness of the apartment - there was a thin layer of dust over most surfaces (this can be explained by a building site under the hotel so difficult to avoid), and certain areas, e.g. lamps, light fixings, ventilation grills, photo frames etc were quite dusty. Annie rectified this by sending the cleaner around immediately for which we were grateful. Don't get me wrong, the 'important' areas e.g. kitchen counters, fridge, bathroom, bed linen were spotless.

The Ilikai itself is centrally located and has all the amenities nearby - food , drink, entertainment, beach etc. Sounds obvious, but just ensure your expectations are set accordingly - this is a condo in an apartment block, not a brand new 5* hotel with all the amenities, services and facilities (and cost!) that go along with it - if you do that I think you'll have an enjoyable experience from the outset.

Annie is great as a host - really helpful before hand and while we were staying at her place. Definitely a significant positive point.
