Renaissance Ilikai Waikiki Review

Renaissance Ilikai Waikiki
$$-$$$$, Waikiki
Fodor's Review:
At the ewa edge of Waikiki overlooking the Ala Wai Harbor, this resort has both standard rooms and units with full kitchens, which can save you some bucks if you self-cater occasionally. The atmosphere here is casual thanks to an open-air lobby, cascading waterfalls, and torchlighted walkways perfect for romantic, evening strolls above the Harbor. There are two freshwater pools and a tennis court, but the nearest beach, at Ala Moana Beach Park, is a five-minute walk. Most rooms have lanai. Wanna play tag? Check out the Ultrazone laser adventure facility. While riding the glass elevator to the top of the "I", note the uppermost penthouse balcony to the west -- it's where Jack Lord's character Steve McGarrett turns to face the camera at the beginning of each episode of Hawaii 5-0.

Great place to stay

My husband, teenage son, and I spent a week here. The outside is date but ignore that. The inside is fabulous! We had a king bed for my husband and me and our son used a very comfortable queensize sofa bed. GREAT value! The pool was being renovated but who needs a pool when you have the beach? Great place to stay!The best french toast ever!

We only stayed at this resort for a few short days before heading off to Kauai, but we really enjoyed ourselves. As the other posters have said, don't let the outside frighten you. It has not really been updated in, um, like forty years. But, once you step inside, it is like a different world. Staff was very nice and helpful, room was tasteful and large (I think we got a free upgrade), and views are pretty good. It was a bit of a walk into Waikiki, but not too bad. BUT, as my caption denotes, the best part was the stuffed french toast. Unbelievable! My husband and I still talk about it.
