Great Vacation Rental for Waikiki area!!
The room was very clean, neat and tidy! While you can hear all the street noise as it is very urban, you cannot hear your neighbours so very quiet that way. Very close to absolutely everything. Would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Waikiki beach holiday calling 911 for assistance
Great location, with excellent ease of check in process,<br/> Waikiki beach is an easy walk away with shopping everywhere ...<br/>Air conditioning is very noisy and under not very good cooling <br/>The lobby staff were helpful with bus information and getting around <br/>Unfortunately if you need anything regarding the apartment then you need to contact Ali’s direct as instructed with the email documents ...<br/>Unfortunately the sliding door to the balcony came off the tracks on Saturday late afternoon and no one answered the maintenance number provided by Ali’s ane the lobby staff were not interested as the appointment is privately owned as this situation was very dangerous as it’s on the 31 floor we called 911 for help after having my wife holding the door in place finally someone from the hotel helped me lift the very heavy door back onto the tracks avoiding a very serious incident if the door fell off the very narrow balcony...<br/>

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We are happy to hear the condo was in a great location and the check in process went smoothly and Waikiki beach is an easy walk away with shops and restaurants nearby! Sorry to hear about your experience with the balcony door. We have fixed the issue with the balcony door so this should not happen again. I spoke to our maintenance team about this and they said you were calling our office line, then you got through to our emergency line and they sent someone over from our maintenance team right away to get the sliding door back on track. That wasn't the hotel staff that came to help you, it was someone from our company. We put all of our contact information in the binder in each unit and in your check in instructions. Mahalo!

Excellent location! Pool, hot tub and Waikiki right next door!
The place was great, very friendly staff at the front desk and security. Nice rooftop deck with a nice pool and hot tub with amazing views. The swimming beaches are literally next door with the rest of Waikiki walkable. Great restaurants and neighborhood eateries, walk-up dining and food trucks. The rental was as advertised, clean, amazing views and very comfortable. Ali’l Beach Rentals was quick, helpful and left great info on checking in and checking out. Wonderful!

Nice View But...
The view was incredible, however, everything else was lacking. The area didn’t feel as safe as other parts of Waikiki. Every night we had people screaming at the top of their lungs below us. The unit is also very old and lacking. The closet is small and half full with paint and cleaning supplies, they don’t have a drawer for clothing or anywhere to store stuff. Even the empty wall behind the kitchen could use some hooks for hanging clothing. The bathroom was tiny and the shower head was broken and kept falling off while showering. The toilet never stopped running, and in general the unit is very worn down. The entire complex is old. I think for the price and and view the place is okay.

Great location
Location is perfect. Lots of restaurants in the area, grocery shopping. Only a two minute walk from the beach. Unit was clean. Pool is quite small. Our unit had a tiny fridge and the freezer would only hold ice cube tray and perhaps one other item, but it hadn’t been defrosted for a while so we couldn’t even use it for that. We were only there for three nights so not a big deal for us but if we had been there for an extended stay it would have been a problem. Unit was very well supplied with dishes, towels and beach towels. Check in was easy and front desk staff were friendly. Great spot for short stay

31st floor Studio
The location was fabulous, great view of beach and part of Diamond Head! Easy access to everything on Waikiki Beach. But there were a couple of things I was not happy about: first, it was very dusty under the bed (we were only there for 4 nights, so I know it wasn’t from us. Secondly, there is an induction cooktop and when I put my pan of water on it and tried to turn it on, it wouldn’t work and I got an error code. I emailed the Ali and got a return email saying I needed to put the pan on the burner first and then turn it on. I emailed back and said I had tried that and the error code said the pan was that the correct for an induction cooktop. So then they sent up maintenance who told me that the pans in the unit were not the correct ones (which I already knew). I got another email stating they hoped the issue was resolved. I emailed right back again stating that the pans were not correct. I got NO reply to my email. This is not the service I expected and would NOT RECOMMEND this place.

This is our fault, we believed we recently bought the right pans for the condo, but this is nit the service we are known for. We need to fix this for sure and I apologize on our companyʻs behalf. -Kaili Operations Manager

Vacation Condo With Views!
As a former Hawaii resident, I return to Waikiki every 6 months and always stay in an Alii Beach Rental property. I was familiar with the great location of Pacific Monarch being close to the beach and bus lines. <br/>There were a few items I found upon check in that needed attention but John, the maintenance person was very efficient in fixing the problems. The freezer in the small refrigerator was not working properly due to the door being broken. He came the next day and said he would replace it with a brand new one. Also I couldn't get the DVD to work so when he checked it he found it wasn't hooked up due to lack of HDMI cable missing. He replaced both refrigerator and DVD player cable with brand new ones and was very pleasant to deal with. But even the new freezer was not too great at freezing ice cube trays so I just used the ice machine in the lobby.<br/>The condo was clean and the bed very comfortable. Ocean, Diamond Head and mountain views off the balcony were amazing. However, due to the pigeon problem in Waikiki there was alot of droppings on the balcony which was nasty. Perhaps they could put come kind of netting on the railing which would prohibit the birds from hanging out there.<br/>All in all I enjoyed my time there and would recommend this property and the team at Alii Beach rentals to anyone looking for a reasonably priced vacation rental.

Apartment was very clean. Everything looked new. Comfortable bed. It has a small kitchen with a stove top, small fridge, plates, cups, utensils ect. The view is amazing. You see the city and ocean. There’s a screen door which is nice so you can have the breeze coming in. Owner provided us with clear instructions and information about closest grocery stores etc. There’s wifi In the room. There’s a rooftop pool and hot tub with lounge chairs. You can see the ocean from the pool. The location is great. Walking distance to everything you need. You can walk to the beach/ restaurants/stores. There’s a couple car rental places close too. We only rented a car for the day to see the north shore so it was nice having a rental place walking distance away. Try Marukame udon. There’s usually a line up outside but it moves pretty quick and if you go after 8pm it’s not as bad. Overall this Apartment was great. Would definitely stay here next time I’m in Waikiki.
