1-Bedroom #401: We stayed in room #401 for our 30th Anniversary and what a treat! We have stayed at the Whaler many times over the past 28 years and always look forward to returning. Great location, staff is par to none and treat us like ohana (family)! Highly recommended!

1-Bedroom #401: We just recently stayed at this unit and could not have asked for a better stay. The views are just incredible. And its not just one angle but two different angles due to it being a corner unit. Plus you get the awesome view from the bedroom! The unit has everything you need and two bathrooms to boot. Very convenient to Whalers Village and of course, Kaanapali is such an awesome place to stay anyways. You cant go wrong with this unit! Just loved it!

Studio #1118: This place is spectacular for a couple. Beautiful view, great amenities, and centrally located. I would recommend renting a car to get around the island, but there are lots to do just around the place at Whalers Village. The Mai Tais and food at MonkeyPod is wonderful and the walk to Black Rock beach is quick and easy. I recommend Lahaina for dinner or lunch at Down the Hatch and walking and shopping in the main street. Would highly recommend.

Studio #965: The Whaler is just wonderful! It is sparkling clean and has a beautiful view from the lanai. We loved cooking in the kitchen, which was fully stocked with pots, pans, plates, etc., and all amenities seemed new. The Whaler property is a fantastic place to stay, and we highly recommend this property and specific unit! Thank you!

1-Bedroom #1174: My husband and I enjoyed our stay! The unit was clean and nicely furnished. The view from the 11th floor corner unit was wonderful! We enjoyed being on the "shady" side in the afternoons when it was very hot so we could still enjoy the balcony. Both bathrooms were clean and nice. The bed was comfortable. The location was stellar, very close to whalers village for meals out! The kitchen was pretty well stocked, we only make breakfast/lunches each day. The complex pool area was small but we had no issue finding lounge chairs. The beach area is nice. Snorkeling at Black Rock is a quick walk up the beach. We would stay here again. Thank you!

Studio #1118: We had a great week! The only downside was the broken coffee maker... but the lobby downstairs offered coffee each morning, and the village was close. We will definitely stay here again when we come back to Maui! We have stayed in Wailea on a previous trip, but definitely recommend Kaanapali Beach over Wailea! Great location, Great beach, Great atmosphere, Great restaurants, Great shopping. What else could you ask for!!!

1-Bedroom #259: Its a very spacious 1 bedroom condo. The beds and furniture are quite comfortable. The towels provided are thick and absorbent. The kitchen has everything (other than food) that youll ever need, including some simple Tupperware for picnic items. The grounds are gorgeous and the front desk folks are very friendly and helpful. Communication and check-in/check-out were great. I love that you get towel cards for beach/pool use and then turn them back in for cards...you always get clean beach towels. The location is right on the beach and exactly next door to the whaler village. Amazing location. just note that there isnt much long beach if you like to lay out but just a quick walk in either direction gets you a little more sand space. I liked it that way actually, as there is not a long walk to the water in hot sand. I would definitely stay here again...

2-Bedroom #923: We would highly recommend the Whalers property if looking to rent a condo for your stay! We stayed in unit 923 and loved it! It had everything we could possibly need for our week stay including a washer and dryer in the unit which was a plus! We had a great view of both the mountains and the ocean from the wrap around patio. Great find!!!!

I come to Maui every February and have since about 1998. Ive stayed at all the most popular and most expensive hotels and some condos/timeshares. I can honestly say that this was the best all over experience Ive ever had. The location, the accommodations, the convenience, the staff, everything was spot on! The overall experience was fabulous. One of the best lanai and views Ive had in Maui. The staff was excellent and Im looking to returning next year! Thank you.

1-Bedroom Oceanfront #401: Loved our stay in this apartment. The view is incredible and sitting on the lanai watching the world go by was a great way to end our days. The place is well set up with everything you could possibly need, from fully equipped kitchen to beach chairs, boards etc. The bathrooms although a little dated are perfectly functionable. The Whaler complex is fantastic with washing machines and dryers on each level, a pool open from 8am to 10pm , the pool shack for your clean beach/pool towels etc and 2 great bbq areas. There is also an onsite Spa for those that want to treat themselves. If we are lucky enough to find ourselves back on Maui I would definitely stay here again.

Studio #715: I can see why this condo is the most popular. We had a wonderful stay at The Whaler. The space is perfect for two people, with everything you need to comfortably stay for a week or so. Our favorite parts were the oh-so-comfortable bed (seriously, we wanted to bring it home with us) and the incredible views off the lanai. All of the amenities are well thought out, from beach chairs and an umbrella, to coffee filters, to fast WiFi. The location is superb, the ability to walk out of the building and straight to the beach was so nice. The Whaler also offers some great amenities like a fitness center, pool, and beach towel rentals. We would absolutely come back and hope #715 is available next time were in Maui! Thank you for the perfect home away from home.
