Great value vs. all a typical hotel in Waikiki. It is nice to have a kitchen and a little more room. The unit itself was great as were all of the amenities. One detail of note is that the Ilikai is on the outer edge of Waikiki. Very close to Ala Moana and the Hilton Hawaiian Village so that has its plusses and minuses. A twenty minute walk to the beginning of “main”
Waikiki but hardly far. The beach by the Hilton is very nice and less crazy than by the main strip but you’re a touch out of the mix. Very close to the mall which is a plus. As a local returning to the islands it was perfect for us.
