This resort boasts beautiful landscape and Ocean views. Perfect for adults or families. It’s conveniently located steps away from Whalers Village. We enjoyed dining at all of the restaurants along the beach walk. Friendly front desk staff as well! The units are individually owned, so many have not been updated. Our unit was very clean, but really needs some bathroom and carpet updates.
The location of the Whaler is fantastic. All rooms have a view of the ocean. In this unit, the kitchen is well stocked and beautifully remodeled. The bed was comfortable and the room was clean. Would definitely stay here again!
We have stayed at the Whaler any times in the past and it is one of our favorite places in the world. The resort is fine but I would not stay in this unit again. It was advertised as being recently remodeled which is not true. The carpet was filthy and the bathroom floor had hair all over it when we checked in. The kitchen may have had new countertops but I don’t think the bathroom had been touched since it was built in the sixties. I personally removed two roaches from the unit the day we checked in. We love the Whaler and its location but we would choose a different unit next time.
The unit needs a deep cleaning especially the bathroom-caulk,grout really dirty. Cabinetry and hardware sticky,dirty. 2 plates in the cupboard were coated with dry food.
The Whaler is a terrific place to stay in Maui. My wife and I were both very happy we choose this property. The room was beyond our expectations, very comfortable and the view was awesome. I would recommend this place to anyone. Right next to Whalers Village with dozens of shops and great places to eat all along the beach. We will be definitely be back!
The location was perfect, walking distance to restaurants and shops. The beach is clean with great snorkeling right off the shore. Our unit was well equipped, clean with a really nice ocean view. We’ll be back!! The management company was very responsive, helpful and answered all our questions without delay.
Great location and property. Really enjoyed ourselves for our 10 yr anniversary trip.
Overall, excellent though the television is awkwardly small for the room.

Reviewer Comments:
The condo is in a perfect location with a wonderful view. However, it felt like I was staying in my Uncle's basement - the furniture is at least 30 years old as are the soft furnishings. I woke up thinking I was 20 years old again and wondering if my sheets were clean (the sheets even felt 30 years old). A little investment in furniture and soft furnishings would push this place past the 5 stars mark. Also, we had a problem with a neighbor smoking weed on his lanai. However one feels about pot, this is a non-smoking building and the stench made it impossible to use the lanai or open our screen doors. It took management 2 days to get back to us, in the meantime we had contacted security. Even with all of this, Maui is a magical place and the condo building is truly a perfect location.
We loved the location of this property right next to whalers village and just down from black rock for great snorkeling. The unit was spacious for a studio and the deck was quite large. The only negative thing I would say, and it's minor, is that the living room area has carpet and it has some stains which I think make the overall appearance of the condo not as aesthetically pleasing. The unit and the property were clean and comfortable and I would stay there again.
