We had a great time. The property management company was very responsive to any questions I had. The views are amazing and the property is so extremely well-kept. I wish check out was 11am instead of 10 but it was overall a fantastic experience!

This was my 11th time to Maui. It’s my favorite place in the whole world. Our room at the Whaler was fantastic. The view looking towards Black rock was stunning. The room was nice and very comfortable. I spend most of my time on the balcony Just enjoying the view. The Whaler is a great location for restaurants and shopping. Just perfect. We did not have to rent a car. I certainly will be back.

The room and property are just as described. The room is lovely, freshly updated, with a beautiful view. You’ll hear waves, watch boats come in, and are in the center of Kaanapali Beach. You couldn’t be closer to restaurants and shopping!Negatives: The bed is so soft, it doesn’t support the back. We had minor back pain most of the week. The toilet roll dispenser is poorly installed and the roll continually falls off. The garage is often full at night, requiring use of the nearby overflow lot.Those are the only (very) minor drawbacks for our wonderful stay. We will come again.

This property was just as described. The location was great – steps to the beach short walk to Whalers Village. The property was beautiful and well maintained. We didn’t have any trouble finding a place to park in the garage. Elevators were quick. We had plenty of room for the two of us, and the bed was very comfortable.

Amazing place to stay for a couple! Just the right amount of space and located right next to whalers village! The bed was comfortable and the AC and ceiling fan kept the room cool which was perfect! Also, the place had beach chairs and a cooler we were able to take to the beach which was also walking distance. Would highly recommend staying here at the whaler!
