Frommer's "You can't beat the location of the Ilikai Hotel -- sitting at the entrance to Waikiki, it overlooks the Ala Wai Harbor and is within walking distance to numerous restaurants and shops." Full review
Fodor's "The atmosphere here is casual thanks to an open-air lobby, cascading waterfalls, and torch-lit walkways perfect for evening strolls above the harbor." Full review

"The once-historic Ilikai has the makings of a great hotel -- massive, clean rooms, an elegant open-air lobby, a newly refurbished pool, and a well-equipped fitness center." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Conveniently located between Waikīkī and Ala Moana Center, the guest rooms here are spacious and situated in two towers with views of Ala Wai Yacht Harbor and the ocean."
Star Service "The hotel is split almost evenly between well-proportioned hotel accommodations and one- and two-bedroom time-share and condominium accommodations. " Full review
Gayot "The sports and fitness center has six tennis courts, and the hotel is home to an esteemed Italian restaurant, Sarento's Top of the I, which offers stunning, 30th-floor views."
BlackBook "One of the very first hotels in mid-century Waikiki, part of the acclaim (and niche) comes from its star playing role in Hawaii Five-O."
