“Waikiki at its Best!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed May 10, 2010

Aloha! This was our first stay with Shell Vacations at the Ilikai and it was great! The staff were extremely helpful with directions and getting us frozen Canucks settled in.
The hotel amenities were excellent and the fitness room very well equipped. The room was superb with a full kitchen to prepare our breakfast on the lanai.
Waikiki beach is an easy half-hour stroll and the Ala Moana Mall is even closer for you shoppers out there.
We will definitely be back on our next Hawaiian vacation. Mahalo everyone!

“Geourgus views of the Marina; an outstanding hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed May 4, 2010

Ok Ok, I know I should have written this review earlier but it slipped my mind. We booked this hotel for my parents on Priceline. Got a great deal. Each and every room had a view of the Marina. Dad phoned a couple days ahead and asked for a room on a higher floor. He ended up getting a room, second from the top! The hotel was clean and location was very safe. Since it was away from Waikiki beach you avoid the large number of tourists and noise on the beach. Everyone tells us that staying on the beach can be overrated (and expensive). The hotel was just in front of a mall with a large food court and Macy's. My parents went there everyday to eat. An ABC store was also within walking distance nearby. This is where they picked up souvenirs and bottled water. The hotel has a shuttle service to Waikiki Beach. It was very convenient and made getting around pretty easy. The staff was really friendly and helpful.
