We are here now for eight nights and don’t ever want to leave. We have a two bedroom oceanfront premium unit and the view cannot be beat. Floor to ceiling windows in the living room and bedroom. Wow! The beds are very comfortable and my 6’2 son is sleeping on the sofa and thinks it is comfy as well. Our check in process was flawless and all of our room requests were met. We love the sidewalk to Whalers Village and wide sandy beach.

by you not staying here, we will have a greater probability of staying next time. What an amazing place. Great location, great staff, great grounds and the rooms are great. My wife rarely gets excited about hotel stays, but she said we absolutely need to stay here again...

Perfect location. We had a ground floor condo with a massive lanai and great ocean view. The property sits on world famous Kaanapali Beach within walking distance to everything. The walkway takes you by hotels, restaurants and the mall. We couldn’t have found a better spot to hang out in February. You could watch whales breach from almost anywhere. Beautiful place!

My husband surprised me with a quick getaway to Maui, and we stayed at The Whaler for the first time. We had an ocean view room (room 462) and booked through Booking.com. The room was exceptionally clean, and we had a big lanai with a beautiful view. We didn't visit the pool, but there are "first come, first served" beach chairs that we used for the beach in front of the hotel. A gorgeous spot on Kaanapali Beach.

We were on the 11th floor with a amazing view of the ocean, beach and black rock. Staff was wonderful! Room was very clean and was perfect for our stay of 7 days. Was a little pricey, but that's pretty much a given now a days for a great room with a view.

Great location and beautiful grounds. Staff were very nice and tried to be helpful but it was confusing because our unit was privately owned so they were unable to assist with most of our questions. Overall, I’d rate this 4+/5

We had an amazing experience here for our honeymoon. The staff was fantastic and they were so helpful. There was complimentary pineapple sweet tea in the lobby and it was some of the most refreshing tea I've ever had. They kept us in towels and the beach towel exchange worked well. When we entered our room, we found various local drinks and snack food staples. It was so nice of them. The garden was beautiful and the beach front was amazing. We had the 12th floor corner room and it was just the most magical time you could have on a honeymoon.

Don't ever rent from vacation-maui.com. Terrible service. It became a circus. We didn't have a blanket or pillow for 5 days after we arrived for the pull out bed. Called them numerous times for help and to no avail-no help. I called the after hours phone line the night we got in and they never returned our call. More than 10 different phone calls they finally sent blankets and pillows. The place was wonderful with an incredible view. Very convenient. We can not wait to return to the Whaler #751 but with a different rental agency that cares.
