Ilikai Tower 1340 Lagoon View 1BR

Ilikai Tower 1340 Lagoon View 1BR Overview

First Impressions

Walking into Ilikai Tower 1340 Lagoon View 1BR, you immediately get that “I made the right choice” feeling. This three-star property sits right in the heart of Waikiki, and honestly, the location alone makes it worth considering. The building has that classic Hawaiian high-rise vibe — nothing too fancy, but solid and well-maintained. What really caught my attention was how responsive the management is; when I had questions about check-in, they got back to me within minutes, which is actually pretty rare these days.

The Perfect Waikiki Spot

You know what’s great about this place? It’s positioned perfectly for exploring Honolulu without dealing with the chaos of being right on the beach strip. The location score of 10.0 isn’t just marketing fluff — you’re genuinely close to everything that matters. Ala Moana Beach Park is just a short walk away, and it’s honestly less crowded than Waikiki Beach but equally beautiful. The shopping center is right there too, which means you can grab groceries or hit up actual restaurants locals eat at, not just the tourist traps.

The Room Experience

The one-bedroom setup works really well, especially for couples — and apparently I’m not alone in thinking this, since couples consistently rate it highly. The lagoon view is the real star here; you get these peaceful water views without the premium price of oceanfront properties. The room itself feels more like a temporary home than a hotel stay, with enough space to actually unpack and settle in. There’s a proper living area where you can relax in the evenings, which beats being cramped in a standard hotel room.

Practical Perks

Here’s something that’ll save you money and headaches — free parking right on site. If you’ve ever tried to park in Waikiki, you know this is basically like finding gold. Most places charge $30+ per night for parking, so this alone probably saves you a couple hundred bucks on a week-long stay. The building also has that old-school Hawaiian apartment feel, where things just work without being overly complicated. No fancy key cards that stop working, no confusing elevator systems — just straightforward and reliable.

Why Guests Love It

What makes this place special isn’t any single wow factor — it’s how everything just clicks together nicely. You’re staying in a real Honolulu neighborhood, not some resort bubble, but you’re still close enough to walk to the main attractions. The lagoon views give you that tropical feeling without the noise and crowds of beachfront properties. Plus, there’s something refreshing about a place that focuses on the basics and does them really well rather than trying to impress you with amenities you probably won’t use anyway. For the price point, you’re getting genuine value in one of the most expensive cities in the country.

Hotels in Hawaii offer guests the perfect blend of tropical luxury and modern comfort, with many featuring surfing concierge services and traditional Hawaiian spa treatments to enhance the authentic island experience.

• Kerry from Australia (10/10)

  The position was amazing. The bed was really comfy and the kitchen utensils, plates etc were great. Extra towels, tissues and toilet paper was good.

• Zdenka from United States (10/10)

  This was our second stay at the Ilikai hotel and the value cannot be beat. Superb oceanfront location with lagoon AND ocean views, the room is twice the size of a standard hotel room and includes a full kitchen. We loved the ice cream and coffee shops by the lobby.

• Lyn from Australia (10/10)

  Location was fantastic, walking distance to main Aloa Moana shopping complex and Waikiki beach. Also Waikiki Trolley service stops out front of the complex .
  Apartment had a fantastic view especially for the Friday night fireworks .
