Grocery shopping from the Ilikai Hotel in Waikiki Hawaii

Monday, November 16th, 2009

At the Gateway to Waikiki is the world famous oceanfront Ilikai Hotel and Apartments, and our  fully furnished condo, 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)

  1. Walmart. This store has some groceries.
  2. Sam’s Club store is above Walmart.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.

Learn In The Waikiki Lagoon

Wednesday, September 2nd, 2009

New experiences are a big part of going to Hawaii. Waikiki beach has a lagoon at the North end where you can practice new water sports and play without having to worry about being tossed and turned (and possible injured) by ocean waves.

And when you stay with Aloha Condos on Oahu at the Ilikai Hotel the lagoon is only a 3 minute walk from the lobby. And only 6 minutes from the Ilikai Marina.

So head down to the beach and rent a standup paddle board and practice in the lagoon. You’ll have fun, get some great exercise and you’ll be safe.

From your condo at the Ilikai to Diamond Head

Friday, August 21st, 2009

When you’re staying with Aloha Condos at the Ilikai Hotel or the Ilikai Marina take the short drive down to Diamond Head.

Get up early in the morning and head down to Diamond Head for the sunrise. Take some water because there’s a stairway with almost 200 stairs.

You can also take the bus down there, check out www.thebus.org for schedules

Have fun!
