“Home away from home!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 26, 2012

This is my fourth time staying at the Waikiki Marina Resort at the Ilikai, and each time, I'm reminded of what a great place this is. The rooms are enormous! Though set up like an open plan studio apartment, they could easily be a nicely sized NYC one bedroom apartment. The lanai is actually large enough to be a separate room, and is a great place to relax with a drink and a snack after a long day soaking up the Hawaiian sun. The full kitchen is a great bonus on a longer trip (we stayed for 9 days), as it allows you to stock up on breakfast and snack items. The few times that I had to visit the main office, the staff was always cheerful and helpful. The pool is fantastic, as it gets full sun all day, so the water is a lovely warm temperature.

“Wonderful Hotel Experience!!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 24, 2012

My husband and I really enjoyed our stay at the Waikiki Marina Resort (11 - 21 October, 2012). The Staff were exceptional; providing friendly and professional service. We felt so comfortable and welcome during our stay! We also believe that the Ilikai Bar & Grill is one of the better kept secrets in Waikiki! Wonderful food and atmosphere!!! Perfect place for a little down time with friends! Loved the Hotel location, and felt that the parking fees were a fair return for the excellent valet service and added convenience. Highly recommend to all! Hope to visit again in the future!

Room Tip: Ocean Views are wonderful; city view is very nice also, and the Lanai may be cooler in the afternoon...

“Great Place to Stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 13, 2012

The room was very nice. Bed was very comfortable. The view was the most beautiful view that you could ask for. This was our first time to Hawaii and it was great. Would recommend staying here. Great value. Loved the location as it was not in the main downtown Waikiki, but close enough to walk or jump on the Waikiki Trolley. Can not say enough about this room.

“August 2012 Trip”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed October 4, 2012

By far above standard room with wonderful staff that welcomes you and makes you feel special throughout the whole stay. Depiste roadside construction resulting in detours and a little noise, the stay was great and will do it again and again. Very quick access to the shopping center and even the freeway out of town.
