At the Gateway to Waikiki is the world famous oceanfront Ilikai Hotel and Apartments, and our fully furnished condo, Ilikai Hotel unit 1530. In addition to the well-equipped, open kitchen, and the spacious lanai, you may also enjoy the fact that our prices are lower than many mere hotel rooms nearby. Save money by eating in, and enjoy your meals on our lanai, overlooking the ocean . We often offer discounts on our nightly rates, so be sure to check out our website! (Click on the above link to learn more about current discounts and renting this condo).
In order to stock up the refrigerator during your vacation, there are four grocery stores within walking distance of the Ilikai. They are listed below; and if you click on each link, you will find the map with walking directions from our Condo. (This unit has a shopping cart for the use of our guests)
- Walmart. This store has some groceries.
- Sam’s Club store is above Walmart.
- Don Quijote. This is our favorite store. We think it has the best selection, including a very large Asian section. We think it has the best prices too. And every Tuesday they offer a 10% discount on regular priced items for Seniors 60 years and older. It is open 24 hours a day, as well.
- Foodland. This store is on the lower level of the Ala Moana Shopping Center on the mountain side.
In addition, ABC Superette Market is across the street, kitty corner from the Ilikai, and is open from 6:30 a.m. to 1:00 a.m.
(Be informed that there is a free newspaper, Midweek, which has lots of grocery ads and comes out on Wednesdays.)
Also, on the lobby level of the Ilikai Hotel is the small General Store. It carries a fairly wide variety of grocery items,but is “pricey”. If you find that you have forgotten something in your grocery shopping, it is a possible stand-by. This store is located at the end of the wing towards Diamond Head. They also have a counter where you can buy some very good, made-to-order sandwiches.
