According to the “Honolulu Star Advertiser newspaper”, and the Hawaii Tourism Authority, Hawaii has hosted 597,487 visitors last month, up 12.2% from a year ago.  Arrivals from Canada grew 18.8%, and 18.7% increase of arrivals from Japan.  Also, visitors spending rose 19.8% to $1.2 billion.  The hotel occupancy and room rate are also rising.

I believe this bodes very well for condotels and the income derived from ownership.

Prices of condotel units in waikiki dropped signifiantly in 2008 and 2009.  We now see that prices ahve stabilized and may be working themselves back up again.  Several of the condotel units we have currently listed are showing excellent improvement and increase in income compared to the last several years.

Please view featured condo buildings on our website, www.HNLCondos.com and review those buildings in Waikiki that are Condotels.

In fact, we just listed a grat studio unit in Equus, #803 for $99,000.  It is located across from the Ilikai Apartments, down the street from the Hilton Hawaiian Village and a very short walk to Ala Moana Shopping Center.  The income for this unit has almost doubled in the last year.

Please view listing details for the Waikiki Condotel,  Equus #803.

Aloha!

Ilikai Apartment Condos and Ilikai Marina Condos Benefit from All Kinds of Improvements

I have written several blog articles about the continuing improvements occurring at the Ilikai properties, located in west Waikiki, adjacent to the Hilton Hawaiian Village and the Ala Wai Yacht Harbor.

What are the Ilikai properties?  Primarily, we have two high-rise condominium buildings, the Ilikai Apartment Condos and the Ilikai Marina Condos.  You may read details about both buildings on our website at www.HNLCondos.com, including viewing floorplans, configurations and current listings.

The two buildings are joined by a second level pedestrian bridge and share some common areas.  In between the two buildings is a recently renovated building owned by Marriott Hotels and recently opened as the New Edition Waikiki, their flagship luxury boutique hotel, complete with the amazing Morimoto’s Restaruant in the lobby and pool deck level.

What a difference these improvements have made.  We recently walked through the hotel lobby, peeked in the restaurant and wandered through the outdoor lounge and pool deck.  Wow!
