Club Wyndham Waikiki Marina Resort at the Ilikai

The Resort and Its Setting

Club Wyndham Waikiki Marina Resort at the Ilikai is a Club Wyndham vacation ownership property built around the long-standing Ilikai name, a fixture of Waikiki hospitality for decades. It sits directly on Waikiki Beach in Honolulu, putting owners and guests within walking distance of the sand, the surf breaks and the district's restaurants and bars. As an RCI-affiliated resort, it's part of a points or weeks system that gives owners the option to exchange their stay for other RCI resorts instead of returning to the same property every year.

Waikiki and Honolulu: What's Around

Waikiki Beach itself is on the doorstep, and the Duke Kahanamoku Statue, a favourite photo stop honouring Hawaii's Olympic surfing legend, is a short walk away. Kapiolani Park, Honolulu Zoo and the Waikiki Aquarium sit within 1.5 km, all easily covered on foot. For shopping and dining, the Royal Hawaiian Center is about a kilometre away, while Ala Moana Center, one of the largest open-air malls anywhere, is a short drive. Diamond Head's crater trail, a popular half-day hike with views over the whole south shore, is around 2.5 km away. This is a part of Honolulu where you genuinely don't need a car for day-to-day life, though one helps if you want to explore further afield around the island.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

Listing your week or points on BidMyTimeshare.com is a private, owner-to-owner sale: you set your own asking price, buyers contact you directly through the platform, and we charge a one-time listing fee with 0% commission on the sale itself — there's no cut taken when the deal closes.

Before you list, it helps to know what actually happens on the Club Wyndham side. According to Club Wyndham, changing ownership carries a $399 ownership change processing charge, which the new owner typically arranges to pay as part of completing the transfer. Published timelines for how long this takes aren't available, so it's worth building in some lead time when you're agreeing a handover date with a buyer.

It's also important that buyers go in with the right expectations. Wyndham's own terms state that resale points do not carry VIP benefits, Club Pass, Wyndham Rewards conversion or PlusPartners — those perks stay with the original developer-purchased contract and don't transfer with a resale. As for the right of first refusal, owner reports indicate it applies only to some Club Wyndham Access contracts, generally those from around 2017 onward, and that it's rarely exercised in practice; some brokers describe it more broadly, so if your contract is from that era it's worth checking the deed language before you commit to a sale.

Renters, meanwhile, are typically looking for straightforward things: confirmed week or dates, proximity to the beach, and clarity on what's included. Being upfront about Waikiki's beachfront position and the RCI affiliation (relevant mainly to owners, not renters) helps set the right expectations either way.

Practical Notes for Owners and Buyers

If you're buying resale, ask the seller for the current annual maintenance fee and confirm in writing what does and doesn't transfer — particularly anything tied to VIP status or Wyndham Rewards. If you're selling, having your contract details, any right-of-first-refusal clause, and the $399 transfer fee figure ready to share with prospective buyers will speed up the conversation considerably.
