We loved staying at the Ilikai. The pictures may make the hotel/condo building look a little dated, but the building has an amazing history to it. Every night at sunset there is a conch shell blown by Babe, the same man who has blown it every night for over 50 years!
There even is a nice rooftop restaurant and cute ice cream shop on the main floor.
The unit was great - fully equipped open kitchen, comfy living room area, good bed, bedding and towels, and a spacious lanai with wonderful views of the Waikiki Marina.
In terms of location, you are close to Hilton Hawaiian Village, and in between Ala Moana and Waikiki.
There were some spots of the apartment that needed a little attention in terms of cleaning, but I brought this to management’s attention and I believe they have communicated this to their cleaners. 9/10! I highly recommend staying here, so much so that I even recommended it to a friend.
