Ilima Hotel

The Teruya brothers, former owners of Hawaii's Times Supermarket, wanted to offer comfortable accommodations that Hawaii residents could afford, and they've succeeded. One of Hawaii's small, well-located condo-style hotels, the 17-story, pale-pink Ilima (named for the native orange flower used in royal leis) offers value for your money. Rooms are huge; the location is great (near the International Market Place and the Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center, and 2 blocks from Waikiki Beach); and prices are low. A tasteful koa-wood lobby lined with works by Hawaiian artists greets you upon arrival. Perks include free local phone calls and a full kitchen in every unit; in addition, all the couches fold out into beds, making this a particularly good deal for families. (Kids will appreciate the Nintendo games in each room.) The one-bedroom units now have Jacuzzi tubs. The three sun decks, dry sauna, and truly nice people staffing the front desk help you enjoy your vacation. The only caveat: no ocean views.

Facilities:
Exercise room; outdoor pool w/sauna
