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.

Studio #813: We very much enjoyed our stay. Weve vacationed in many beach resorts and this was one of the best. Several reasons for this-the location, proximity to the beach, condition of the condo complex, relative condition of unit given age, wonderful beach, friendliness of Whaler staff, etc.

1-Bedroom #1074: Very nice, comfortable, clean place! Very close to the beach -- most likely the best place to stay if you want to be close to Kaanapali Beach. Close to the Whalers Village (restaurants and shops). The position of the apartment was perfect for us -- we had both ocean views and Mountain views. It was not close to the pool (which we liked since the pool could get noisy), we had perfect view of the fish pond too. We would come again here if we will come to Maui again.

1-Bedroom #411: What a great company and what a great place to stay. Our unit was not ready when we arrived and they immediately upgraded us to an apartment that was ready. Super accommodations overlooking the ocean. Jessica was great to deal with. Give them five stars and we will definitely return. Restaurants and entertainment within a rock throw.

Studio #813: This was the most amazing balcony weve ever had in Kaanapali! Great view of the ocean, Koi pond below, mountains behind, and overall a great place to hangout. The location was perfect, steps to Whalers Village and the beach. We hope to come back very soon!

Studio #1118: The unit was perfect for my husband and me. It was clean, comfortable and had all the necessary kitchen equipment to meet our needs. Enjoyed our morning coffee on the lanai watching the whales and an evening glass of wine listening to the surf. The Whaler is the perfect location in beautiful Kaanapali. Will definitely return.

This was our 6th time to the Whaler and when we come, it is like coming home. It is easy and we have everything we need and are in close proximity to restaurants and shopping, great beach and lovely pool. When we want a vacation to truly relax and recharge, we come to Maui and stay at the Whaler.

Studio #1118: We visited in February to see the whales, and we were not disappointed. Maui whales are something to see, and the whalewatch tour from Lahaina was excellent...but so was the view from the lanai of this room! Whale spouts, splashes, and breaches were all visible from the lanai; granted, a pair of binoculars helps, but this setting was great. The view looks toward Puu Kekaa (Black Rock), and there is fantastic snorkeling around that rocky point; its an easy walk, and while underwater, we heard whalesongs as we snorkeled amid hundreds of colorful fish and a sea turtle. The studio setting was great for the two of us, and the well-appointed kitchen area had everything we needed and more. The owners and manager have a gem of a unit, and we really appreciated the personal touches that made it feel so much more comfortable than a hotel room. If youre looking for a good place to stay, if this ones available during your time, its well worth considering. We will certainly be ready for this one again on the next trip to Maui.

Studio #1062: Room with a View! The lanai of this room is gorgeous. Protected from the wind and hot afternoon sun, we sat here may hours watching people, waves, whales, and rain. It is the ideal location. Quiet and comfortable. The catamarans pick up passengers on the beach just south of the unit. From this unit you can walk all the way to the Papakea north or to the Hyatt Regency to the south or just around the corner to Whalers Village. If youre really ambitious, you can walk all the way to Lahaina. Just make your way to Hanakaoo Park and then walk along the guardrail. We had a fabulous stay! You will too!

It had the essentials for cooking breakfast (oil salt pepper honey etc). The beach is very close and the market was next door. You made our honeymoon perfect!

Studio #1062: We had a great time at The Whaler. We loved the proximity to the beach, just steps away from our condo. They also had a rental station with snorkeling gear that my husband loved and I loved the complimentary beach chairs! Front desk was very welcoming & friendly. Grounds were beautiful. It was also right next door to the Whaler Village shopping center with some great restaurants and shops.
