My family enjoyed our stay at the Ilikai! I wasn't expecting it to be a combo of private residences and hotel rooms, so it was neat to have hotel amenities available such as a bell desk to keep luggage, car rental on-site, convenience store, coffee shop, full restaurant, water sport rentals and ice cream shop. The location is very convenient being close to Ala Moana shopping center and the busy Waikiki shopping and restaurants. My kids enjoyed swimming at the Kahanamoku lagoon next door. Overall, the location can't be beat. It can get a bit loud with the cars because the main street is outside, but we used a white noise machine at night and the AC unit helped mask the noise too. We very much enjoyed our stay here and would stay here again!
