We got this condo through VRBO, vacation rental by owner, on the internet. It was our first time so I had nightmares about unit 411 Tower 1 being dirty and old. It was perfect and the owner was very easy to deal with. It was clean and I am picky about cleanliness. The kitchen was more stocked than my own... more

Unlike the larger, fancier resorts found on Kaanapali, which tend to be full of crowds, The Whaler offers some real peace and quiet. We rented two units from the same owner -- a one bedroom unit at 720 and a studio unit at 814. Both were amazing. In fact, the bellman commented on how we ended up with some of... more

We just completed our stay at the Whaler and had a great time. The condo we were staying in (tower 2 , 2 bedroom, ocean front, 9th floor) was recently renovated and was very nice. The construction on the courtyard is within a week of completion and was of no issue to us and looks gorgeous. The staff was friendly,... more

My wife two children (6 & 3) and I just returned from a great vacation at the Whaler on Maui! Yes, the courtyard and parking garage are under construction (scheduled to complete in 7/09), but with a room that doesn't overlook the courtyard, you won't have a problem. We only noticed the construction when we arrived and when we departed.... more

Just came back about a week ago from our trip to Maui. The Whaler was one of the best decisions we made on this trip. Overall, Maui underwhelmed me, but I loved the Whaler. We had a 1 bed/2 bath in unit 1057 in Tower 2 (the one next to Whaler's Village). Awesome location. 2nd unit from the beach. This... more

We've traveled to Hawaii several times, and stayed twice at the Whaler, once in unit 1018 and once on the 12th floor. We travel with another couple and have always enjoyed ourselves to the max. In Tower 1 with a view of Black Rock, sitting on the lanai for morning coffee is awesome (or any other time, for that matter!).... more

Had a great experience because we knew to ask for a good, clean condo. They are rated from 1 to 3 with 1 being the best. Condos are rated once each year by a staff that goes through them. Unit 518 is a clean, well appointed studio for 2 people. The staff was friendly and helpful and the gym was... more

We booked #714, a studio unit, through Maui Beachfront Rentals. This particular unit could stand some updating, but was functional, and being located in the heart of Ka'anapali Beach, we hardly spent any time in the room, anyway. They could improve this unit by adding a room safe (available in most other units) and providing a few more towels for... more

We stayed at the Whaler room 514 during the height of the Whale Watching Season and it was great! Our room was steps away from the ocean and we were able to see whales from our balcony. Our room was on the quiet side of Tower One facing north. We had a partial ocean view from inside the room, but... more
