I absolutely loved the location, and The Whaler staff and facilities were excellent. The room itself was overpriced for what it was - many of the appliances need replacing and the room itself didn't feel very clean (particularly the bathroom). Overall I would absolutely stay at The Whaler again, but I would probably pass on staying in this particular room.

The Whaler 1169 was everything we hoped it would be. Incredible views from the Lanai of the beach, the mountains and the island of Lanai. Well appointed kitchen with everything you need to prepare any meals. Close to everything Kaanapali has to offer with a five minute walk to snorkeling at Black Rock and all the convenience of Whalers Village next door. KBM was a pleasure to work with and check in and check out were seamless. The free rental car was an added bonus. You can’t go wrong with this condo or the Whaler.

Property as listed with many nice amenities. View from the balcony over looking the courtyard and beach were amazing. Plenty of beach chairs, umbrellas, and boogie boards provided. Within walking distance of black rock for exceptional snorkeling. Next door to Whalers Village for shopping and dining. Great experience and would rent again when in Maui!

The Resort was absolutely stunning. Heaven on Earth. I couldn’t think of a better place to spend my vacation. My condo was clean and so nice with all the things I needed. I will definitely be coming back again and hopefully sooner than later. Thank you for the best time of my life!!

We were very happy with our stay and our accommodations, it was great for the two of us.
We had dinner a few nights down at the BBQ’s for a some home cooked meals. It is wonderful to have coffee on the lanai before heading down to the beach. It was great having snorkel gear available as well as chairs and umbrellas. So thoughtful.
Thank you for wonderful memories!

The condo was very nice. Clean and modern. It appeared recently renovated just as advertised. Although we packed everything we needed, the owner Lori does a really nice job of having the condo equipped with extra amenities. The condo is conveniently located and is walking distance from the village, as well as other resorts/beaches/etc. My wife and I were very impressed and appreciate the effort Lori puts into her condo, helping to provide tourists with an awesome experience. HIGHLY RECOMMEND staying here.

We absolutely would stay at this property again. The condo is beautifully furnished, with a large lanai and great water view with no disruption from other units or the ground area below. The location is fantastic, with Whaler’s Village a short walk away through multiple entrances, and steps to the beach. The property manager was responsive, pleasant, and accommodating. The check-in process could have run more smoothly, as the front desk did not have any of our information, which required extra time to complete when we arrived. This could have been an oversight on the front desk’s part, however.

I can't say enough good things about this unit. Had everything we needed and was very spacious. Having 2 baths helped given we have 3 kids. The unit itself was very nicely decorated as per the pictures. The view to the beach was great too (partial but was awesome to have morning coffee on the lanai. The Whaler resort was amazing and truly 5 star from the staff to the amenities. This resort is not just a hotel where people come and go every week but has a lot of residents who stay long term which gave the place a homey & friendly feel. Lots of thoughtful touches (shopping carts to bring up groceries from the parking garage). Whaler Village is right next door is you want access to restaurants & food court, shopping, ABC store. The location ON THE BEACH is amazing too. It was so nice to step outside and you're right there. Black Rock is a 10min walk down the beach where you can cliff jump or snorkel with the sea turtles (every day we saw at least 2 but up to 5 at one time). Our host George was very responsive and communicated with us before and throughout our stay. Mahalo George for everything! I would recommend this to anyone!

Our recent 14-night stay at The Whaler in Kaanapali was exceptional. The booking and check-in process were seamless, and communication with the owner was prompt and helpful. The 8th floor condo was very well-maintained, and the onsite staff went above and beyond to ensure our comfort. The location is unbeatable, with stunning ocean views and easy access to the beach and nearby attractions. We wouldn’t hesitate to visit again and highly recommend for anyone looking for a perfect Maui getaway.

You cannot beat the Whaler's location on Kaanapali Beach because it is am easy walk to everything (many boat tours board on the beach just steps away.) The condo was clean and stocked with everything you could possibly want/need for cookin to save you some $. Having the use of a free washer/dryer which was just steps away was great so the next time we will bring less clothing. They do have snorkeling gear but no way to tell if the snorkels have been cleaned/sanitized (there was sand on and in the masks/snorkels so I assumed not) so best to at least do a hot water & dish soap dunk and rinse before use or bring your own snorkel/mask and use their fins to save space in your luggage. There is a peak view of the ocean from the lanai to enjoy coffee and breakfast from. We also did some cooking on the BBQs available at the resort. As others have said, there is noise on the lanai from the retaurant next door, mainly delivery truck back-up beepers to the loading zone and restaurant workers cleaning/talking in the morning. The AC unit noise is there but it was actually more like a nice white noise to me. We were up early everyday so noise didn't bother us, if it is an issue for you keep that in mind. We would re-book again as this unit has it all to make for a relaxing vacation. 10 out of 10.

This property was in a great location for our Kaanapali adventures. It was clean, had a great view, and had all the amenities we needed. The Sleep Number bed was a great perk. We love that we could walk next-door to Whalers Village where there are great restaurants, plenty of shopping, and it’s also where our snorkel tour left from. We would definitely stay here again.

My family and I loved the condo and the Whaler as a whole. The views were breathtaking and the unit had everything we needed to relax in between adventures, especially the shelves of books/games, full kitchen with cooking supplies, two full baths, in-unit laundry, Murphy bed, and spacious lanai! The hosts were exceptional in all communications before and during our stay!!!

We had a wonderful vacation at this condo! The photos are exactly what is in this condo. Of all the condos we rented this one had everything you could need and more! The beach is steps away and the sand is very soft. The pool was warm and there were always chairs available. We enjoyed the balcony and the views. Having beach chairs, an umbrella, the wagon and more was great. The beds were very comfortable and the condo was very clean! .We would definitely stay here again. Keith was always very responsive with any questions.
Thank you Keith for sharing your condo with us!

First time staying at the Whaler and everything was even better than expected. The location between Whaler's Village and Black Rock (where we snorkel) can't be beat. The property itself is beautiful and very nicely kept. The on site management - including the concierge - is very friendly and helpful. This unit was terrific. It's a quiet spot with a great view of the beach and Black Rock. It's been nicely remodeled with very functional finishes and high end appliances which operate beautifully, which is so appreciated bc I love having use of a kitchen and laundry. Filled with thoughtful touches for guests so we wanted for nothing. Also of note - this unit is very close to elevators that take you down to the parking garage so coming and going was a breeze. The Whaler even provides small shopping carts in the parking garage so that you can easily do a week's worth of grocery shopping and bring it up in one easy trip. So nice!! We definitely recommend and would stay here again. :-)

Had a great stay in this unit. Great location and view. Well equiped with sand chairs and beach toys! . Liz was great to work with. Only minor knock was that the bathrooms weren't .prestickee withsupplied with amenities like shampoo and conditioner like most other units we've stayed in. No big deal since we brought our own. Would definitely stay in this unit again!

Property was first class - Beautiful, well equipped, with absolutely stunning views. My only “wish” would have been that the kitchen window would have had some sort of shade. At dinner time, when trying to prepare our meals, the sun was “screaming” in (maybe it was just the time of year). Otherwise, everything was absolutely outstanding.

Having two bathrooms and the Murphy bed was just what I needed. I was traveling with my 17 year old granddaughter. At least we could contain her messiness to the bathroom as we had to clean up her “bedroom” every morning.
The location was fantastic. Lots of shopping and restaurants. The beach is beautiful being able to get clean beach towels whenever needed was a plus.
No complaints!

I would recommend this unit to others and would stay here again. The views are amazing from the Lanai and unit is in a great location! Right next door to a number of restaurants and shopping, and the Luau we went to was just a short walk to the Sheraton at Black Rock. The unit itself was pretty dated and could use some cosmetic attention but we were comfortable. The bathtub didn't drain very well and the AC unit in the bedroom helped with airflow but wasn't pushing cold air. A few things that would have been nice to know before our stay (didn't see these things in the description) is that there is a washer and dryer inside the unit, along with some beach chairs/ umbrella and boogie boards and some sand toys for the kids- we ended up renting these items through our car rental on Turo, but they had some in the unit for use. There are also onsite beach equipment rentals and free-to-use beach chairs near the pool area. The pool was nothing fancy but a nice place to cool off, and the hot tub was nice at night. Our family of 4 didn't have any issues getting poolside chairs any of the days we were there, in other places we have stayed this was always a bit of a challenge. There aren't onsite food and beverage services but you are allowed to bring your own to the pool, just nothing in glass. They also have BBQ areas on both sides of the pool. Something to know if you are bringing kids, the pool is 5-6 feet deep throughout. The staff and beach at the Whaler were great!

Reviewer Comments:
Was a fantastic property and location could not be beat. Loved the unit for the 3 of us. We never left Kaanapali. Cooked nearly ever day & night. Ate on patio with a view. Kids could walk over to Whaler's Village at night. Played pickleball and used the gym daily - all wonderful facilities. Nice staff and complementary laundry. Would definitely stay here again.
