Great Location, needs better beds
The location is great, condo is overall clean and would be very clean with some wall cleaning. The twin beds are extremely low quality and best suited for small children. The management agency was great when this was brought to their attention and offered a $300 refund. I suggest investment in higher quality beds so if more than 2 adults are staying it is comfortable.

This was a great place to stay with our family of 4. Everything was as advertised, we had no complaints. It is a very spacious and roomy condo for four adults. It is in a great location with a great view! The only annoyance was the hotel workers from next door picketing at 6:30 am a couple days.

Downtown Luxury on a Budget
I was extremely pleased with this rental. From the lobby/valet you immediately feel like you are on vacation - everything is handled for you. Yes, you have to valet park for a fee (unless you want to find a garage and walk a few blocks), but the valet staff were fantastic and, although the lines to drop off can be long, they keep it moving quick. <br/>Then the lobby/first floor has all kinds of shops and restaurants (the coffee shop was my favorite for a morning grab and go breakfast). The courtyard area was also great for relaxing between activities. <br/>The rental itself was clean, well kept, and perfect for what we needed. Great view! The guest beds weren't very comfortable and the lights were a little difficult to understand how to use (they operated via remote). You have 6 beach chairs to use, but no cooler. But everything else was great!

Was Everything We Wanted, and More, With a Few Hiccups
We were looking for a lowkey place to have a low-frill holiday as a family of all adults. The sleeping arrangements worked great for us- with my brother and I sharing the 2-twin bedroom and bath. The views are great. The kitchen isn't fully stocked but theres enough to get you what you need. More glasses + dishes wouldve been helpful though. The building is quiet on the western side of Waikiki which we enjoyed, the pool and the sundeck were both delightful places to spend some time- occasionally noise (children playing at the Hilton Pool) would carry over, overall we had a lovely experience. It's ~1mi from the "heart of Waikiki" but theres plenty of places near by and everything is walkable. Saying it didn't feel touristy would be a lie, but it was really lowkey. Theres great amounts of natural light in the apt itself, but minimal artificial light. The furniture was all in good condition, the stools at the counter are a bit high for that location and a bit uncomfortable, but everything else was great. There's about 10,000 mirrors in this rental, but it was helpful with the natural light and the outfit planning. The sliding doors were all a bit sticky, but manageable and workable. <br/>A few things we didn't love, some of the floor "boards" were coming up which caught the chairs or our feet while walking around. The bathrooms were a bit outdated, the shower pressure is moderate at best, the hot water was hot hot hot! There also wasn't a dresser or anywhere to really put your clothes in the second bedroom, my brother chose to live out of his suitcase and I used the shelves in the bathroom- a little annoying but not trip-ruining. Also, the fans had no guides or instructions so it was mostly trial and error & hoping you didn't get too hot/too cold at night.<br/>Overall, it was a great place for us to stay. None of us felt cramped or crowded and we were all able to spend our time however we pleased, which was perfect. Great for lounging and also great for using as a laun

Beautiful ocean view condo between two cities.
The condo is beautiful and has an amazing view of the ocean and downtown Honolulu. The building amenities are very nice. The restaurant there is great! The only downfall was the noise from the city. I was surprised how much of the traffic and city noise we could hear from that high up. I’m a light sleeper and it kept me up at night and woke me up in the morning. Great location if you want to be between Honolulu and Waikiki. It was a great size for the 4 of us.

Beautiful Property
We stayed in this property for 4 nights. We were a little concerned when we walked in because it was very hot but once the ACs started going it was very comfortable. The beds were comfortable and it was one of the best stocked rentals I have stayed in. We had all of the kitchen items we needed and more! The only issue I had was the doors to the bedroom with the twin beds are glass (clear at the top, frosted the rest of the way.) Because of this, if someone was sleeping in there and the lights in the living room or kitchen were turned on, it was pretty bright. I would recommend bringing a sleeping mask if you are going to sleep in that room.

This seemed to be the last unit available during a busy time in August. We didn't have much choice. The unit was adequate but just. BE CAREFUL if you want parking - it isn't included a wasn't available at the condo - had to go down the block. Plus very pricey. The second bedroom is behind sliding doors. There is no soundproofing between internal rooms. Everything is pretty old. Floors are cheap fake wood, everything is the bare minimum. Not worth the price to be honest. It was clean and we had an issue with the electrical power not working in one area that was fixed quickly.

We had the best time in Oahu. The place was beautiful, clean and plenty of room. It took awhile to figure out all the remotes...lights, fans, AC but once we did all was good. The only thing would be the ac is only in the living room. The bedrooms are hot when doors are shut. We used the fans to have the living room air blow into the bedrooms during the day, then at night it was cooled off enough to use the fans at night. We had a fantastic time! The resort next to us did have protesters early in the morning(6:30) being really loud but we were up already so didn’t affect us and has no impact on rental agency.

Great Location and Views
Our family of four really enjoyed our stay. Great location & wonderful views (including sunsets). Kids really enjoyed the pool and a very reasonable walk to the Hilton lagoon & beach. Be sure to bring water shoes for the beach since it's very rocky - but that's pretty normal for Oahu.<br/>This is an older building and some things could use updating, but you're not in Hawaii to stay in your hotel room. The value of the view and location is excellent when comparing to newer facilities. Took a little time to figure out the lights/fans, but we figured it out. Didn't bother us enough to call the management company.<br/>Only real downside was that being an older space, there's not a lot of power outlets - plus lamps that can't be plugged in since I couldn't find an outlet nearby. Definitely not a deal breaker, but that could've been a little more convenient if there was an extra power strip or two.<br/>Valet parking was very prompt every time except once (which I found impressive). Only other complaint is that the main restaurant downstairs (Cinnamons) was closed still due to covid. But the small cafe was good and you're really close to the Hilton so believe me...you won't starve. <br/>We enjoyed our stay & would rent there again if we returned. Location & views for the price were great!

We don?t have the man power to iron sheets, but we would not leave dirty sheets on a bed, thats ludicrous. We contract reputable cleaning company?s to service our units. Tea and coffee are not provided by us, but a renter may find some in the unit left behind by previous guest. We may want to add this service in the future. We have an "In-house" guest number for our guest to contact us for anything. We respond in a timely matter to all calls and request. Bulbs and appliances go out between stays frequently.

Tipped the guy $5 and then when we had our luggage brought up when we could check in tipped the guy $5 and he was upset with what we gave him. When we checked out we asked for help with our bags and it took 35 minutes and the guy somehow lost one of our bags on the way down the elevator. We didn't notice because it was in a grocery bag but we had gifts in it for our daughter. Overall we had a GREAT vacation but if I had to do it again I would pay a lot less money for a hotel a little further away from the beach or a few more bucks and stay at a more luxurious place than the Ilikia.

Beautiful Unit with Ocean View
We loved everything about the property except for three things: 1) The wi-fi in the unit was unreliable; 2) The pool was undergoing renovations and therefore unavailable; 3) Although the owner and rental agency could not have known in advance, there was major construction being done two floors up which created a massive amount of very loud noise for three of our seven days in the unit. The noise was extremely loud, like having a jackhammer just a few feet away. We brought this to the attention of the rental agency and received a refund for one night of our seven night stay.

Great view but a few suggestions
The view and location was perfect for my parents, ages 83 and 80, the balcony was a great spot to experience the ocean front without leaving the room. The restaurant and shops on the ground level were great as well, we enjoyed breakfast, coffee, dinner and did quite a bit of shopping. The disappointment was the quality of the beds and the cleanliness of the property. For the cost, I would suggest the owners invest in a better quality mattress, a good nights rest makes everything look better. The vents in the bathrooms were disgusting and telling of the attention to detail on the cleanliness of the condo, the ceiling in the kitchen was also rather gross. I would stay in this area again, but sadly I would not choose this property again. I have pictures to share with our travel agent.

Nice view, but...
This unit has a nice view, location, & living room furniture, it also has some issues renters should know. <br/><br/>1. The bed in the master needs to be replaced; it sags badly in the middle, & even though a thick foam pad & a topper have been added it’s just mushy. Two people would roll into the middle together. The topsheet was not a fitted sheet so it was loose the whole time. <br/><br/>2. The VRBO listing stating the unit had cable TV & TV in master...Not. The welcome book said on how to use the cable remote but there wasn’t one. The bedroom had a huge blob in the middle of the screen instead of a picture & broadcast signal in the bedroom was awful. We used the Ali’i app to request service; no response.<br/><br/>3. The unit has two split A/C units in the living room but no air in the bedrooms. Running fans pointed into the bedrooms never cooled the master below 79°F. There are notes all over to turn off the A/C & close shutters when leaving the unit and on return it was 90° inside. It took Hours to cool the living room. Also the A/C units don’t work quite right, e.g., no panels to use Swing function. <br/><br/>4. The unit was clean, but had a few issues. The bathrooms have vents at eye level that prob have never been cleaned, so in the shower you look into a filthy vent - truly disgusting. Additionally there were two standing fans, which was helpful, but they too were disgustingly filthy.<br/><br/>5. Miscellaneous oddities: the windows have floor to ceiling shutters so neither of the living room lamps can be plugged in until you open shutters and plug in.<br/><br/>6. Our two maintenance requests regarding the TVs not working went unanswered, not even an acknowledgement.

A little underwhelming
We stayed at this hotel during our recent trip to Honolulu (January 2018). The positives: good location and nice view. It is close to bars/restaurants and the ocean with a gorgeous view of the harbor.<br/><br/>However, I think there were several negatives. 1- The unit was older and outdated and could really use a remodel (the pictures make it look a tad nicer in my opinion). 2- The communication with the management office could be improved. We called many times with the issues below without resolution. It also often took several calls to get a response which is frustrating as I am the type of person who prefers not be on the phone the whole time on vacation. 3- There were several malfunctioning items in the condo. The TV in the master bedroom did not work (would not even turn on). The wireless internet was horribly unreliable and my husband ended up using his own data (wireless hotspot on his phone) to complete something for work. We called the office and they told us someone would come fix the TV (which they did not) and to re-start the wireless router (which we did without much improvement in internet connectivity). 4- The hotel is part hotel and part condo. Being a “condo guest”, we did not have access to all of the amenities such as multiple pools and the gym. There were paper “pool passes" left in the welcome binder in the condo. The first floor pool required an actual key, which we were not given. Again, we called the management office and we were told that we could only use the pool on the 3rd floor— we checked and there is no 3rd floor pool (ha, seriously). We may have been able to use the 2nd floor pool but at that point, I was sick of calling and trying to figure it out. Then, we tried to use the gym and were told by the hotel staff that it is only for hotel guests (not condo guests). 5- The bedrooms were hot because there is no central air and the A/C units are located in the living room. <br/><br/>Overall, if we visit Honolulu again, I would stay somewhe

This is a great condo, and we love the view! The hotel does have some rules that regulate access for "private" guest accessing the gym, it is not allowed. There are 2 pools at the Ilikai Hotel. One on the lobby level and one on the 2nd floor. It is actually the 3rd floor from the street level and that could be what our agents meant. There is a new TV in the living room, and master bedroom. There are 2 split a/c units in the living room, with the blinds and windows closed, they are able to cool the condo sufficiently. Thank you for this review.

Enjoyable stay in the centrally located clean apartment. After a comfortable night in Queen Sized bed, waking up watching the surf roll in and with a marina view the unit was great. The bathrooms are starting to show their age, particularly the shower in the main bedroom. The TV was finicky, you need to ensure you only use the 'multi-purpose' remote to operate it or you will have difficulties. A better explanation in this for less tech-savvy guests would be useful. The kitchen in the unit was good, everything worked and there were enough plates etc to go around. Would stay again.

However, the customer service received by management was terrible and we wouldn’t support their business in future. Very prehistoric business processes, pushed their incompetence back into us making it our issue which hindered our holiday which was also our final destination after two weeks already spent in the US without a hiccup.

Beautiful spot!
This condo was very very nice. It was an end unit so we had a wrap around lanai was very quiet....I liked being away from Waikiki Beach a bit but I think my granddaughter would have preferred to have been right on the beach. This building is about 1/4 mile from the beach and unless you feel like walking with all your stuff, you will have to drive and then find a parking place! There were some issues with the condo..like the sliding glass door not being on the track but my 17 year granddaughter was able to fix that. If she couldn't have, we would not have had access to the lanai facing the ocean. The bath/shower combo is the master bedroom was unusable as the door was not on the sliding track and the regulator for the hot and cold water was inoperable. However, since there were just two of us, I used the bath/shower in my granddaughter's room. All in all I would rent this again but probably would have called to have all the broken things fixed if we were staying a long time. I do think that the property management company needs to vet the operability of things in the condo on a regular basis. Clearly that had not taken place and the cleaning staff didn't make them aware of the issues.

Great view and location...place was good
The things that matter most were great...the view and location. I've stayed where you can view Wikiki, and I'd say I liked the view of the marina just as much if not more. Beatiful at sunset and night, and in the afternoon we could watch the brief rain clouds come in. Very cool!<br/><br/>A few minor cons - The decor is a bit outdated...New bedding would do wonders for the appeal of the rooms. Also a few things weren't as clean as I'd prefer (e.g., vents in bathroom). The biggest con was the AC. There are two units, which smelled a bit musty, in the living room. We needed to keep the bedroom doors open and use fans to keep it comfortable for sleeping. Some might be okay with having the patio doors open, but with humidity and street noise we couldn't sleep. Having the bedroom doors open was fine for us, but if you want full privacy this may not work for you.<br/><br/>Overall, I thought the great view and location (we used valet parking at $28/day which was super convenient and easy in/out) made up for any of these cons.

Around 2:39 AM, on out last night Saturday, the shower faucet in the master bathroom, began making a screeching noise, and the shower started running. Couldn't shut it off. There was no response to use of the telephone numbers provided for emergency and/or maintenance. The hotel front desk said they had no one on duty, and, besides, it was our problem - not theirs. No one responded, no voice mail, at the Alii Beach number Saturday morning. So we just left.

We had a lovely stay at the condo in the Ilikai Hotel 1710. The location was good. The condo was lovely, we only have a few negatives about the stay which are the condition of the furniture in the living room was in a bad way. The chairs and the sofa were broken, and quite uncomfortable to sit in to be honest. The material was quite faded and looked shabby. Considering how lovely the location of the condo is, and the price we paid, the furniture did let it down. The fact that there was no air conditioning in the bedrooms was also a negative for us. In order for us to sleep comfortably in the master bedroom we had to sleep with the lanai doors open which was not really practical due to the noise from the street below. Although there were fans we found that they just kept moving warm air around.

Oahu stay
This condo was decent for our stay. Although after coming from Maui the week prior we had higher expectations since our Maui resort was so beautiful. The condo furniture, decor, and applicances were definitely outdated. After day one the toilet acted up but the staff quickly responded to the work order the following day. Some of the bed linens appeared dirty as well as dusty areas around furniture, dressers, and vents. The view was not as nice as anticipated since the lagoon was barely in view from the balcony. The pool was okay but not as nice as the Modern or Hilton's pools on either side of the Ilikai. Overall, the best part was the location was decent since it's a close walk to the beach and next to the Hilton complex which has a lot of entertainment available.

Coming from a resort might make one a bit saying:) The owner is planning on doing the upholstery herself the next time she?s out, but the furniture is fully functional. You may not be able to see the whole man-made lagoon at the Hilton, but you can definitely see the waves breaking and surfers surfing in the Pacific ocean from your !

Fantastic view
This was our first time in Honolulu. Although we did not like the congestion, unfriendly locals, traffic and commercialized attitude of the town, we loved our hotel. The condo has a prime location with a stunning view from the balcony to enjoy the sunset and sunrise. The furniture was not comfortable but we did not time to sit down; the sliding door of the bedroom gave us a hard time, but it was tolerable' the mattresses were not the best ones but they were ok. What I am trying to say that if the company listened to visitors and took care of some details, this place would be PERFECT!<br/>Be aware that the hotel offers only valet parking which is $28/day. If you do not want to drive all over the island travel to the remote areas, do not rent a car. Uber, trolley, buses, and taxis are all over the town. We regretted very much for renting a car and had to pay a lot of unnecessary money just for the rental/parking/parking tickets. Just ride the trolley and enjoy the city without dealing with the traffic, constructions, pedestrians and long red lights...

Great Location, Gorgeous Views
Condo was clean and tidy with plenty of space for a family of four. Air conditioning worked well. Walking distance to Ala Moana shopping centre, and lots of restaurants etc. nearby. Valet parking service is easy, quick and friendly if you have a rental car, and public bus stops right outside. View from the lanai was amazing - lovely to sit outside with a cold drink and watch the sun set. Quick, easy walk to the beach (no roads to cross for children). Children enjoyed the hotel pool too. Good information from the property management company, and everything (including WiFi) worked as it should. Really pleased with our choice of accommodation which we felt was much better value for money than a hotel room given the space and facilities we had. Would definitely stay here again.

Stayed here as 2 couples for 10 nights. Great location in iconic Waikiki hotel/ condominiums with awesome view. Ali'i management website and app were good but relied on access to wifi. Coming off a cruise and from another country we did not know the door lock had been changed and had access problems on day one. Some stress, eventually sorted then the cleanliness of the condo was not to any standard acceptable. Especially for a condo in this price range. Manager inspected the condo and refunded cleaning fee and first nights rent on the spot which was appreciated and from then on we had no issues except the fans all were coded the same so that if the bedroom light or fan was turned on, all fans turned on... All in all we enjoyed our stay and would do so again, great location, comfortable layout and furniture and views to die for.

The view and location was perfect for my parents, ages 83 and 80, the balcony was a great spot to experience the ocean front without leaving the room. The restaurant and shops on the ground level were great as well, we enjoyed breakfast, coffee, dinner and did quite a bit of shopping. The disappointment was the quality of the beds and the cleanliness of the property. For the cost, I would suggest the owners invest in a better quality mattress, a good nights rest makes everything look better. The vents in the bathrooms were disgusting and telling of the attention to detail on the cleanliness of the condo, the ceiling in the kitchen was also rather gross. I would stay in this area again, but sadly I would not choose this property again. I have pictures to share with our travel agent.

The location was great! The view was amazing but the room itself was only slightly above average. A couple things broken/missing and not overall anything special. The staff was anything but great. The valets were fine but the bell hops were terrible. We were told we could check in early which upon our arrival we were told was not allowed. We had to pay $1 per bag to store for 30 minutes. Tipped the guy $5 and then when we had our luggage brought up when we could check in tipped the guy $5 and he was upset with what we gave him. When we checked out we asked for help with our bags and it took 35 minutes and the guy somehow lost one of our bags on the way down the elevator. We didn't notice because it was in a grocery bag but we had gifts in it for our daughter. Overall we had a GREAT vacation but if I had to do it again I would pay a lot less money for a hotel a little further away from the beach or a few more bucks and stay at a more luxurious place than the Ilikia.

We had a lovely stay at the condo in the Ilikai Hotel 1710. The location was good. The condo was lovely, we only have a few negatives about the stay which are the condition of the furniture in the living room was in a bad way. The chairs and the sofa were broken, and quite uncomfortable to sit in to be honest. The material was quite faded and looked shabby. Considering how lovely the location of the condo is, and the price we paid, the furniture did let it down. The fact that there was no air conditioning in the bedrooms was also a negative for us. In order for us to sleep comfortably in the master bedroom we had to sleep with the lanai doors open which was not really practical due to the noise from the street below. Although there were fans we found that they just kept moving warm air around. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would use Alii Beach Rentals again but would probably not stay in condo 1710 unless the furniture was updated. Thanks.

Very easy access on foot to Alamoana shopping mall, and the downtown area if we take the bus. The area was a lot quieter than the crowded waikiki main area, and it was a good point. A few minute walk to a beautiful beach, and we were even able to see the fireworks at the Hilton on Friday night. (not from the room, we needed to go down to the Hilton beach area, but it takes just a few minutes.) The kitchen was equipped with a rice cooker, a big dish washer, many clean nice dishes and bowls.

The owner (while did check with us on the day of) needed access to the unit to repair some of the shutters; this in my mind should of been done in between rentals stays or after our departure while no visitors were staying. In addition, the dishwasher did not work or clean the dishes properly and the turntable of the microwave did not work properly. The owner should of ensured these items were in working order prior to our stay. And at a minimum fixed before their concern of the shutters (which was very minor). We shouldn't have to call maintenance for these issues. We would recommend this specific property for the LOCATION only "as is" and if the above items were fixed/replaced.

Around 2:39 AM, on out last night Saturday, the shower faucet in the master bathroom, began making a screeching noise, and the shower started running. Couldn't shut it off. There was no response to use of the telephone numbers provided for emergency and/or maintenance. The hotel front desk said they had no one on duty, and, besides, it was our problem - not theirs.

The view was great with beautiful sunsets.Adequate kitchen supplies and towels. Great space with 2 bedrooms , a large livingroom with outdated furniture, not even a comfy couch to watch TV. We left 3 days early to another clean and peaceful place.

The condo was big enough for our family of 5, was clean, central to most everything. Was very impressed. Great views too. Parking was more than I thought but not an issue for us. We highly recommend it and we are already planning to go back. Thank you Alii Beach Rentals.

This condo was easy to book thru Ali Beach rentals no fuss. the 2 bedroom self contained unit was very clean and spacious plenty of towels. A home away from home with a fantastic view over the mariner. It is at the quite end of Waikiki and a 10 min walk to Alla Monana shopping centre and lots more. Reception staff were not that helpful from the Ilikai Hotel but the porters were very very helpful they run rings around the reception staff. I would stay there again.

We had a very comfortable stay. The condo offered everything needed, it was spacious, bright and had a beautiful view. The rooms were well laid out and it was great having 2 bathrooms. We also made good use of the balconies and kitchen and dining areas. Bus stops and trolley stops were nearby and the location is good - near the beach, but in a quieter area of Waikiki. I highly recommend this property.

It was a very nice place to stay. The only thing we had an issue with was the door code which was not changed after the previous guests. That presented a safety and theft issue. The code was changed after we requested however it does not seem to be standard procedure to change the code at the end of each stay. There is only one lock on the door. Besides that parking was $25 a night and valet only so it was costly. Overall a very nice vacation and a great view from the room.

We rented this unit for it's quiet location and beautiful scenery, as well as having 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, perfect for two couples staying together. Everthing about this unit was very nice. I would definately stay here again. My only complaint is that we had planned on cooking, and I went out and purchased a fry pan, because the ones provided are not teflon, therefore, everything stuck to the pans, and was frustrating. The carpets are light colored, and was very stained upon arrival, and I did mention that to Alii. We heard no noise and enjoyed sitting on our lanai (balcony). The bus service is very close as well as places to dine. We loved it!

It was our second time at this location but the first time in this unit # 1710. We were there for one week with my sister and her husband. The condo was great but unfortunately the carpet was very dirty and there were a few minor problems; however, a very friendly person of the maintenance department -his name is Barry- came over immediately and resolved at least the minor problems. All in all we had a fantastic time and I truly recommend this unit.

The Ilikai has to be one of the best deals in Waikiki! The location is fabulous, with access to the Hilton Village next door, lots of restaurants and stores nearby, and killer views! The lobby area has wonderful little shops, notably the coffee shop and hotel pub/bar/restaurant, which serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. The free hula show Friday night was spectacular...a trip highlight. Note to a lii: the sliding door in the main living area sticks BADLY and MUST be repaired!!! Otherwise, fabulous condo in a fabulous location.

Would stay here again. Major negatives (which weren't too major in our eyes) were the lack of aircon in bedrooms, dirty carpet in living area and pre-existing minor damage in some furniture.<br/><br/>Major positives great location, great view and ample space for all 6 of us.<br/><br/>Will recommend to others and (hopefully) use it again sometime in the future.

This condo has a great location right at the entrance to Waikiki beach across from the Hilton Hawaiian Village. It is also within walking distance of the Ali Moana Mall. The views, etc are as pictured on the website. The condo is a little dated, the carpets were stained, and the AC units struggle a bit to keep the bedrooms cool. Otherwise, everything is very nice and in good working condition. Much better than renting a hotel room if you are traveling with a family! For less money, you get two bedrooms and two bathrooms as opposed to two double beds and one bathroom in a hotel suite.

Our unit was great except a few stains on the carpet. We found the bed needed some attention, when we contacted the maintenance people they were there within hours to fix the problem.

Great location. Spacious apartment. Accommodated 2 couples comfortably. The decor and layout are a little dated, however this did not detract from a very comfortable experience.

The unit was very nice, clean, kitchen well appointed, and a beautiful view of harbor. The deck is beautiful and we loved sitting out there for breakfast. We did not use the beach so being just off the Wakiki beach was fine with us. It was just one hotel over. I only have two complaints about the unit, the beds are getting old and need to be replaced and the air conditioner is located in the living room so you can NOT close your bedroom doors if you want to get air. If someone wants to get up early or stay up late, the whole condo is up with them.

Recently took my family of 6 and stayed at the Ilikai #1710 for 6 days. For the cost, it was well worth it. The location was great, and the views were incredible. Overall the unit was very clean and in good shape with the exception of the carpet which was a little soiled in some areas. We had a slight issue with the blow up mattress, but it was quickly handled by Shelly and Shannon. The two of them were great, and their attentiveness made are stay a pleasure. The pool was kind of boring for kids, but wasn't a big deal because we simply went next door to the Hilton Hawaiin and hung out their. When we return in the future this is where we'll stay. We truly felt at home here. In all, I would definitely recommend staying here.

This rental was perfect for our vacation. Plenty roomy for 5 people. The view from the veranda was beautiful, great for watching the sunset. It was very clean and fresh inside the unit. Kitchen was adequate for preparing meals. The location is excellent however if you don't need a car for your entire vacation you may be advised to rent one on location for the days you need it. Parking is expensive and its difficult to navigate the roads in the area. Overall, we were extremely happy with the rental and location. The property manager, Ali's Beach rentals was very professional and helpful.
