General description:.............................. (Back to top)

• The Island Colony is both a condo and a Hotel.
  A little over 100 units are run as a hotel, the rest of the building and the majority of the units are either use by owner-occupants or are rented out either long term or as a vacation rental.
  The building is a very impressive 44 floor tall tower built on the corner of Seaside Avenue and the Ala Wai Boulevard. Like all hotels in the red area of our Waikiki map, the location is very central and only a few minutes walk separate this building from the beach and the International Market Place consider by many as the center of Waikiki. The building features ample common areas including a large lobby and front desk and right above the parking area a large sun-deck with a swimming pool and Jacuzzi.

What we like about this hotel:.............................. (Back to top)

• The balconies in this building are the widest in Waikiki, and almost every unit has a view of at least the mountains and the Ala Wai canal.
• The pool area is inviting and since the sun-deck wraps around the entire building, you can sunbathe the entire day. The pool is not huge but as Waikiki pools go, is bigger than most in the area and the Jacuzzi is always a good addition.
• Unlike most hotels in Waikiki, in order to access the common areas where the elevators are, you need to have an access card or go through security, this adds an extra layer of safety that is not foolproof by any means but is definitely better than nothing.

What you may not like about this hotel:.............................. (Back to top)

• The hotel has been undergoing work on the exterior of the building including the balconies so until that work is finished, there is a possibility of being inconvenienced by the work including the partial closing of the common areas and balconies.
• The hotel side of the operation has not seen a major renovation for some time. The private units that rent as vacation rentals are a different story and it really depends of how well they have been taken care by the owners.
• If you decide for an "ocean view" room, remember that you will be 3 blocks away from the beach and that you will be able to see the ocean but at the very far end.
• Based on your particular needs and the objective of your trip, this hotel may have other pros and cons that you should consider, call us at 808–394–2112 for more information.
