Ilikai Hotel & Luxury Suites

The location was excellent. The hotel is in a very walkable area, and you DO NOT need to rent a car. Food, shopping, entertainment, and the beach are all within walking distance, with lots of options to choose from. The staff (and the people in general) are extremely nice and friendly. The hotel offers nice amenities, including bottled water, free scoops of ice cream daily, and even has DVD access similar to Redbox. They have Hawaiian singers and hula dancers every Friday night which is nice, and in a prime spot for the Friday night fireworks. The hotel is busy with guests leaving and new guests coming in throughout the day, but it never felt crowded. The rooms are spacious, very clean, and comfortable. The ocean view room is a "must" if you want to wake up to some of the most fantastic views ever. The full kitchen was also a plus, as we were able to purchase items at the grocery store and save on eating out for every meal. The hotel is in a very safe and walkable area both day and night. Another nice added touch is the availability of laundry machines on each floor ($3.00 each). This is a very nice convenience for guests like myself who like to take clean clothes home, or for those who want to pack light.

The view from our balcony, spacious unit, from the entire unit to the size of the balcony

Two outdoor pools, one on the second floor and a deep pool just off the restaurant area. Neither pool allows balls or jumping into the pool. Front desk staff are amazing. The outdoor restaurant is worth a few visits and Dave's Ice Cream can't be beat. We had laundry on our floor but not in our suite.You can easily see Friday night Waikiki fireworks from the lagoon. We watched from the fence (perfect vantage point).

Room size, bathroom size, full kitchen, comfortable bed, large patio, great view (ocean). Pesca at the top of Ilikai is great. Amazing views.

I spent ages trying to find somewhere to stay that was nice, not over-priced, had good kitchen facilities, and was close to the town centre so I could walk to the conference I was attending. I was extremely happy with Ilikai. The room was fantastic, and I loved having a full kitchen so I didn’t have to eat out all the time. The hotel was really well-run. Shout-out to the reception staff who were always friendly and cheery despite having to look after so many guests - and repeat the same detailed information to each guest at check-in. I booked a sunset view room and I loved sitting on the balcony - overlooking the marina - and watching dragon-boats training and surfers & SUPs paddling out, before enjoying watching the sun set.
