Ilikai Hotel & Luxury Suites

Great place for families with apartment style accomodation ocean view with kitchen, beautiful views from 25 floor. horrible smell in hallway but once I mentioned to staff it was rectified.Had a great big ball of hair left in lounge room too but cleaner got the next day. Location walk to ala Moana shops great but needed to take trolley $2 into central Waikiki. Five min walk to beach a lot quieter our end. Fireworks from Hilton on Friday night a bonus for my birthday.

We stayed here for 9 nights with 2 kids. We were on the 22 floor in a junior suite overlooking the Hilton village and the ocean. The view was very good from the large balcony. The metal wired balcony seats got uncomfortable after about 15 minutes. The hotel is about a 15 walk from the main restaurant and shopping area of Waikiki. We soon exhausted the local dining options and needed to wall down each night. With the kids, this meant an Uber home for about 8USD. The valet parking was steep at 28USD per night plus collection tip. Make sure to factor that in if hiring a car for days. There was a self parking option 1 block away but still $23 per night. Access to the beach and lagoon was good. Lagoon water quality was questionable. We found the best water in from of Hale Koa hotel, about a 10 minute walk from the Ilikai. A bonus there was swimming with turtles straight off the beach! No need to pay for a turtle tour. The kitchen in the room was a real bonus. A full sized fridge and being able to eat before heading out for the day was awesome. We found the mandatory resort amenity fee a bit of a grab. Most of the things we didn’t want or use. Be aware there are concrete repairs going on until March 2020. This was advertised when we booked or mentioned until we saw the notice in the lift. The “quiet” pool is drowned out in the noise 9-5 each day. Overall we were happy with the hotel but left questioning whether we’d stay here next time.

I am puzzled why hotels such as this charge a daily amenity fee (in this case $25 USD per day). Sure they may have a shuttle into Waikiki, have DVDs available and provide free local calls but really, most of the other services included in the resort amenity fee are provided as part of the regular tariff in most other hotels around the world - wifi, pool, fitness centre, pool towels etc. Given there is no choice of paying the fee, why not just add the fee to the overall tariff and drop the notion of the so called amenity fee being an add on?

Great place wish I could of stayed longer

Great location and view! Friendly staffs and excellent services! It will be great if free parking is provided in the future.

Old apartment block, starting to show its age. Phone out of order. Good location but a very busy precinct, so can be a bit noisy. Great views from upper floors.

The perfect stay for us as a family with little kids. Our room was on the 23rd Floor and the view was magnificent! The pool on the 2nd Floor was fantastic for the kids. They played for hours! Kitchen was wonderful to have also the room size was so spacious!

Very happy with all aspects of our stay

Its was alright. Originally booked it for the kids because they wanted to swim in the pool and it ended up being closed.

Chester was amazing! I told him I was flying my wife out and wanted to surprise her with gifts in the room before we came back we checked in and he made it happen. Thanks for the hospitality!
