I was in Maui in November of 2011. Sorry this has taken so long for me to write, but life just got in the way. The Whaler is located on one of Maui's most beautiful beaches and right next to Whaler's Village. Those are pretty much the two best things about the place. I went when there was construction and...

Clean,quiet,convenient and relaxing! The entire staff were so pleasant and efficient! Like I said, just can't put into words what you must experience first hand!! Also need to... More

My boyfriend and I travelled to Kaanapali for a family reunion trip, and each family member rented a condo at the Whaler through VRBO (you can also rent rooms directly from the property). Some of my family had stayed here before, and their recommendation didn't disappoint! The location is located close to Black Rock and all of the vistas/snorkelling that... More

After several trips to Maui, and exploring all over to find the spot that best suits our interests, this location is it. This property in particular, depending on the room you select, offers the best views and best location for lazing on the beach, snorkelling, or what have you. It has good access to nearby shopping (Whalers Village), and Lahaina... More

My husband and I rented a one bedroom, two bathroom unit at the Whaler through VRBO. This was our first time renting through VRBO, and we liked that we could choose the actual unit that we were to stay in. Since each unit is individually owned, they vary significantly in their decor so if this is important to you then... More

We will be returning to The Whaler in November. We like the location and laid back atmosphere. We prefer Tower one facing Black Rock floors 9 and above as it is high enough to be above the Kaanapali Beach Hotel roof. This side also isolates you from the noise from the activities going on at Whaler's Village. The underground parking... More

My husband and I have stayed at the Whaler for six previous visits. This was the best experience yet. The construction was over, the grounds were beautiful, and our condo was great. We stayed in an ocean view studio on the 11th floor- the views were fantastic. The king bed was very comfortable, the granite bathroom was spacious, and the... More

Stayed at the Whaler for 3 days because hubby wanted a beachfront accommodation. I was initially looking for a location in Lahaina town but I am so glad we stayed here because it was just so nice to wake up with the fresh breeze blowing through the apartment (aircon was available but we didn't use it), with the sound of...
