Amazing view! The place could use a few touch ups and there is a smell of sewage coming from the vent by the washing machine but otherwise great. The AC in the living room is also a bit loud, as is the door to the balcony.
This was the best for three couples in Waikiki. The location is amazing and the place is so cozy, would love to stay again.
Also on Friday at 7pm there was a fireworks show across in the lagoon area, which had great views from the penthouse
So simple to check in. Bypass the front desk at the Ilikai and enjoy the gorgeous view. Easy check in and out. Roomy and safe for children. The view is the best, the location is awesome, close to shops and groceries. Has a kitchen and washer and dryer that makes the stay even better. Loved the stay.

What a wonderful stay!
Just as advertised, the location was perfect and the view was spectacular.
From the beautiful sunsets to the Friday night fireworks, we could not have been happier.
Well-stocked, clean and spacious. Easy walk to either the beach or one of the pools.
We are already talking about our next visit!

We, 5 adults, stayed at the 3 br rental. It is very convenient to any Waikiki venue and Ala Moana Center. Local beaches were excellent and stunning fireworks viewed from the balcony. Plenty of room.
The views in this Penthouse are even better in person. location of this unit to everything was perfect. Nice stocked kitchen. Entertaining space was very spacious. You are able to watch shows from the balcony which was also so nice. Where this unit fell short of expectations is a few simple maintenance issues. Pics have been sent and hopefully these few things will be addressed.

Reviewer Comments:
Our friends and family came from around the globe. We rented 2 penthouse suites. The views were spectacular. The Hilton fireworks on Friday -we had the best seats right from our huge balcony. We all felt the penthouse could have been cleaner and for the price we paid they are definitely in need of serious updating. The management staff was excellent and answered our questions immediately.
We really enjoyed our stay in this gorgeous penthouse condo. We celebrated my sister's 50th birthday and our group was all female (ages 22, 50, 56, 58 and 81). Conveniently located near dining, shopping, lagoon and beach. Great for watching the fireworks (Friday evenings at 7:45pm) from the Lanai. The kitchen had everything we needed in terms of servingware, utensils, pots & pans. Large dining table and couch - good for 5-6 people. Bedrooms and bathrooms are on the smaller side, but we don't spend a lot of time in those areas while on vacation, so not a big issue for us. Lobby level of the Ilikai has a shop where you can get groceries, toiletries and paper goods. Would definitely stay here again for a girls trip, 2 couples, or family vacation.
This location is great and the views spectacular . Large dust bunnies came out of the A/C units when they were first turned on and the ceiling in the kitchen was dusty. The rooms are rather small ,beds not very comfortable or sturdy my husband is 6’1 190 I thought the bed was going to break just when he was turning over in it. Kitchen only has a small bar sink which made it a little difficult to prepare meals and clean dishes. Also the tools in the kitchen were not very sufficient. This also made it difficult to prepare meals for 6 adults. If you’re not going to spend much time in the kitchen and don’t care about room space this place is for you.

First let me say that the property was in great condition (could have been a little cleaner) but nothing to worry about. Check in and out was a breeze and great communication with property managers. If there was one downside to the stay it was the beds. All three were like sleeping on a rock so we camped on the couch which was ok. Tv instructions for each remote would help for people in the future. We would gladly stay here again though. Wonderful experience.
I would give this place 5 stars. There really wasn’t much wrong with staying here after all your in Hawaii. This was our first time and I’m happy I got this place. The view is spectacular you can’t get any better. I think the price justifies the view. I have so many pictures from the balcony and I spent every night out there and my kids loved the fireworks on Friday night. A prior review stated the beds were hard and they are but we didn’t mind because we were so exhausted after each day we crashed. I booked this place with a washer and dryer so I could wash our swimsuits and clothes but the dryer didn’t seem to work very well. It just wouldn’t dry that great but again not a big deal not enough to make this any less than 5 stars. The location is great I loved the harbor front as well, very scenic. Close to the mall. Thank you for making this a memorable family vacation.

This unit is everything it appears to be from the pictures. Absolute best seats in the house for the Friday night fireworks show. We were a little concerned about reviews about the elevators in the Ilikai, but we had zero problems and the hotel is clean & beautiful. Our new bartender besties at Pesce restaurant upstairs were fantastic. Check in/out was super easy. The folks at Alii management were very professional, helpful & accommodating, they even brought up some brand new beach chairs and toys for us to use. My only gig might be that the furniture is a bit unimpressive though functional. For over a grand a night you might expect comfier beds and they could be a little more generous with amenities like shampoo, conditioner, wash soap & tp, etc. Also you need to provide a full set of wine glasses to go with the view. Location is perfect. All in all, we totally enjoy our stay here.

Aloha,For how Iconic this property is I would recommend the following. The only few things that require your attention is all 3 new beds. They are uncomfortable, give no support and extremely noisy every time any of us would move position in the bed in any of the rooms. None of us had a good nights sleep. Some of the tiles need to be replaced. The sliding doors need to be redone, too hard to open and close. Did not glide well at all. Hinges on all the cabinets need to be replaced with soft closed hinges. Solid doors need to be put on washer and dryer room. The current doors would jump off track every time we open them and provide no sound proofing when the washer and dryer are running which were loud. This property is basically a historic site and should be taken care of as such. Thank You. It was an impressive stay to do the Hawaii 50 theme and the Gilligan's Island Theme. Mahalo

Beautiful view. One can’t get much better! Everything with rental company went smooth. The Ilikai has some MAJOR electrical issues, I’m not sure of all the reasons but Cinnamons has been closed without notice due to it. The complex has been running on a backup generator for at least part of the complex, for sure the elevators since the issue started, say a month plus, not a wise safety choice. The back up generator failed the night before our departure and we were stranded on the 26th floor with a 80 year old confined to a wheelchair. We had no way of bringing them down the steps. The elevator between the 26th floor and the 30th floor was inoperable the entire stay. Good thing there was no emergency! The realty company was very understanding but were limited in what they could do. We had to stay an extra night confined to our room but was not charged. Thank you. The sad part was the manager was not on site to field questions and left it to the front desk personnel to field them. There was poor communication on when the elevators would be restored which created great anxiety on if and when we would get out. Customer service from the Ilikai was poor but realty company did what they could to help. If they upgrade the electrical distribution system I would stay again, until then, I would be Leary.
Overall, the experience was really pleasant! Phenomenal views, and it was a great reason for all of us to get together. The rooms were a little smaller, but being in Honolulu, the focus was really on hosting, and this was the perfect spot for it.

Beautiful location with an amazing view
Communication from rental company was good. The penthouse unit we rented was tired and very dated. Curtains had missing hooks, toilet seat was broken. Beds were horrible! A/C in the living room/kitchen area could not keep up, especially if you had the curtains open to look at the view and the heat from the sun came in. Even though it was a 3 bedroom I found it overpriced for the condition.

The penthouse was perfect for our family. The view was amazing, there was plenty of room to hang out, and it was in the perfect location. We walked to all the restaurants and shopping we could ask for, and the restaurants downstairs were great as well! Thank you for a fabulous stay!
The condo was absolutely beautiful. The pictures don't show you enough on what this property has to hold. The only thing we had an issues with was, it says it sleeps 6 people. In reality it only sleeps 4 comfortably. But other then that, there are no complaints. We would definitely rent again. Thank you

Amazing experience. Very easy to get into the room and check out. Room has the most amazing views and is conveniently located in Waikiki. Pesca the restaurant upstairs is amazing and can be accessed easily through a private elevator from the Penthouse. I wish the lanai had foliage and better patio furniture for more outside relaxation. The suite could use a better cleaning and a little touch up paint. Other than that, we really enjoyed our stay and would do it again!
