Ilikai Hotel and Luxury Suites

Overall, the experience here was wonderful. On-site dining options and in the heart of Waikīkī. Our unit had a great view of the marina and amazing sunsets.The only drawback to our stay was the condition of our unit. It wasn't in bad shape, just dated when compared with the rest of our family's condos. Although we were there to really only sleep, some upgraded amenities are in order. The furniture was probably 10-15 years old and very hotel-ish. TV is in bad need of replacement (we ended up just viewing off our phones). I highly recommend the Ilikai, just keep an eye on the condo you rent...they're privately owned so amenities vary unit-to-unit.

I definitely hope that the Ilikai renovates the mauka side timeshare rooms fast. They're pretty dated and in need of a good overhaul. We traded RCI points to stay here. Bellmen with the luggage racks are not employed by the hotel and they charge $5 per bag to bring up to your room.It's going to sound like a lot of complaints but we also pay like $1,500 a year in timeshare maintenance fees so *shrug.* Hallways are not air-conditioned. They are absolutely sweltering. We stayed in room 2013.This is by far the smallest timeshare kitchen I've ever had, with only 3 lower cabinets that had a strong, musty smell. There is no dishwasher nor disposal, nor ventilation system. Our neighbors were up cooking every day at 5 AM and we could smell it. I kept waking up thinking I had left the stove on - nope, just people cooking without ventilation. There is also some nasty looking hatch next to the stove for what I'm assuming is electrical. Per the photos, it's unappetizing. The hot water was barely lukewarm, even after getting a notification that the hot water was being turned off on a certain day due to maintenance issues. Even afterward, the shower never got hot enough for there to be steam in the bathroom. They also still use single use plastic bottles of shampoo, so you need like 5 of them to get a tablespoon or two of shampoo out. It's super annoying because there is no ledge in the shower, just a single porcelain soap dish, so you have to store all these tiny bottles on the floor. I also noticed some mold on the caulking. Pool ran out of towels and is pretty old looking. It definitely needs a refresh. You aren't allowed to use the fitness center if you're renting a timeshare, which is odd. There is 1 show / activity at the resort on Fridays - a hula show. It's under the tree in the center of the courtyard and there is no stage. Because there is no stage, if you're not in the very front row, you can't see anything. The good: super convenient location next to Hilton Hawaiian Village so you will have a prime view on the deck to watch the free Aloha Fridays firework show. The lobby area and courtyard are also super pretty. The elevators are also pretty fast. I stayed here for 7 nights in September 2024.

I personally like this hotel and also worked in it it's well kept clean places to eat and some shopping places on the bottom in the begging of Waikīkī close to Alamoana mall if you love shopping

I've stayed at the ilikai more than a few times now and I keep coming back! I really enjoy getting a room with a kitchen, since I have extensive allergies and need to cook for myself often. It's also a great location in my opinion. It's near the end of the Waikiki strip, so you don't have to deal with a ton of Waikiki traffic when driving around. I enjoy getting up in the mornings and grabbing a cold brew from across the street and then walking the beach. It's a favorite past time of mine. Will gladly return. On my last stay we did have 3 fire alarms. That was quite annoying but at least one of them was legitimate - thankfully there were no injuries! The other 2, we aren't sure if the alarm was mistakenly tripped or if there was also a valid reason for the evacuation.

I have stayed here some time ago. This time I had an ocean view room on the 22nd floor. It had a kitchen, sofa and king size bed. There was a balcony as well. I received coupons for 2 bottles of water daily, a small scoop of ice cream daily at Dave's Ice Cream and one complimentary Mai tai at the restaurant. The location is convenient to Ala Moana Mall, restaurants and food markets. There's a lending library for guests and residences and a poke restaurant as well as coffee shop and restaurant.

Lunch with the Ladies - Friday Fun Fish and Chips. Across from the Hawaii Yacht Club, which opens at 4 o'clock-too late for Ladies who Lunch.

This review is long overdue!! My family and I spent our 8 days of our Hawaiian vacation here at Ilikai Hotel and Luxury Suites during our visit in February of this year. First things first, my guy and I were in need of something clean and spacious for our extremely hyper child to roam. On top of that, I wanted a room that had a nice view of the waters. After lots of searching and going back and forth amongst reviews and images, we decided to go with Ilikai's ocean view suite equipped with a king size bed. Our stay was filled with a good combination of ups and downs:POSITIVES:Staff was really welcoming! Upon your stay, the room is provided 1 complimentary single scoop of ice cream from Dave's Ice cream each day [ice cream shop is located onsite]. Two bottles of complimentary waters are provided daily and you are able to skip the daily visits and collect all bottle on the spot if you wished. Both the ice cream and bottled water is redeemed via voucher that is provided at the initial time of check-in. NEGATIVES:There was no shell lei greeting provided which is supposed to be included in your daily amenity fee and openly listed on their website. Housekeeping service is only provided after X amount of days- with us staying 8 days, we were allowed ONE cleaning and the staff at the front desk informed to us that the day of cleaning could not be changed to an earlier or later date. [FYI: staff requests that guests be out of the room for a few hours to allow for the services to be done]. Another inconvenience that stood out was our shower head being broken and water squirting outside of the tub and the shampoo bottle being replaced with a second bottle of conditioner by housekeeping. The biggest headache of all was the elevators not working and us having to climb down flights and flight and flights of stairs from the 23rd floor. This was an absolute liability waiting to happen- tons of tiny children, elderly, and heavy set guests going up and down the narrow steps was not the business. Guests who were checking out and lugging along multiple large luggage, people with large wagons full of food and beach gear just added to the grueling trek. The staff repeatedly insisted that the issue would be fixed and each time the time frame provided came and went without any additional explanation. 3 stars overall. Ilikai would potentially be a contender for a future stay but I'll definitely look into other properties. Be advised that parking is a bit of a pain- it consists of a long walk from the hotel and annoyingly pricy daily fees.

Being a Wyndham owner/guest, you expect more. This room was OK, but nothing to write home about. The outlet in the bathroom never worked so I had to do my hair at the desk. Maintenance finally came up to look at it. The TV sometimes worked, sometimes didn't. Don't expect to go anywhere quick because the elevators are the slowest elevators I think I've ever encountered! The ceiling in the hallway waiting for the elevators is ready to fall down. People live in this hotel, and when you go down the elevator from the restaurant, it's a shame to see how dirty all the patios are. I realize Wyndham does not own this hotel (that's exactly what it is, a hotel), but the representation you give your owners is quite different than what you receive here.

Our first time staying here and it was beautiful and very convenient being 10-15 mins away from the airport. The view was beautiful from our patio and I just felt at peace on my last few days in Hawaii before leaving. I would definitely recommend and return regardless of the reviews.

I stayed here during my visit to Waikiki. The room itself is super spacious and had all of the amenities I needed! I had an enormous window and balcony overlooking the ocean which made the stay all the better! My only complaint is that the front desk service seemed really annoyed that I came up to them to check-in at the start. I had gotten there early and just wanted to drop off my baggage to explore before going up to my room. Otherwise, the Ilikai is so close to so many things nearby, definitely a great place to stay.
