Want To Stay At Ilikai Anyway? $61

There may be a reason it is so cheap, I can’t say for sure. Read on before deciding to make a reservation.

In any event, I do like the location of the Ilikai, with its easy access into and out of Waikiki and its proximity to Ala Moana beach park and shopping.

The gamble:

As I recently wrote about, the Ilikai is in foreclosure and it isn’t yet clear whether there will be access to the condos starting February 8.

If you decide to take advantage of this offer, consider the following:

• Make a reservation using a major credit card in case of problems.
• Consider an alternate, cancellable reservation in case everything doesn’t work out okay with the Ilikai and the court.
• Stay tuned and we’ll update you as soon as we learn more.

The deal:

• Waikiki Marina Resort all-condo hotel located at the Ilikai Hotel.
• Rates start at $61/night, based on 5 or more nights. Use rate code TVT.
• Studio with full kitchen.  Sleeps 4 with private lanai.
• Valid from February 1 through January 2010.

The added problem:

As an added bonus, there appears to be a plethora of mostly fake Tripadvisor reviews for your perusal.
