I stayed at the Ilikai during the Christmas holiday and had some mixed feelings about my experience. The ocean views from my room were stunning, and I appreciated the pleasant staff at check-in. However, the hotel itself felt quite old and in dire need of a deep cleaning. the overall condition of the room didn't quite match the price I paid.

Rooms

5.0

The room was a studio-type layout that included a kitchenette, which was great for preparing meals. However, the cleanliness of the carpet and the furniture left much to be desired, with visible stains and wear. My ocean view was partially obstructed but still offered a nice sight of the harbor.
