This is a great condo and the host has gone the extra mile to make it a great experience for the guests. There are beach chairs, umbrellas, snorkels, fins and everything you need to enjoy the beach and ocean. The condo has been upgraded, and is very nice. The host even provided a guest bag with popcorn, candy and chips. We highly recommend this condo.

The moment we walked in, we felt welcomed — lights on, a beautiful gift bag waiting, and décor that was classy without being overdone or kitschy. Our hosts thought of every convenience: a fully stocked kitchen with all the utensils, a full spice rack, even packeted seasonings. The bathrooms had lovely‑smelling shampoo, conditioner, and shower gel.And of course… the lanai and those views. This is why we choose — and will always choose — The Whaler. We love this tower, and especially this side of it: ocean views, beach and boardwalk energy, and the quiet beauty of catamarans gliding in throughout the day and unloading at sunset.Thanks for a wonderful stay.

Mahalo so much for your beautiful and thoughtful review! It truly means a lot to hear that you felt welcomed and at home from the moment you walked through the door.
We put a great deal of thought into those little touches, from the lighting and welcome gifts to the fully stocked kitchen and bath amenities. Our goal is to make every guest feel like they're arriving at their own special home in paradise, so knowing you appreciated those details is incredibly rewarding.
And I couldn't agree more about the views! There's something magical about sitting on the lanai, listening to the ocean, watching the catamarans come and go, and enjoying the beautiful sunsets over Ka'anapali Beach. It's a scene that never gets old!
We're especially touched that The Whaler continues to be your favorite place to stay on Maui. Guests like you are the reason we love what we do.
Thank you again for choosing to stay with us. We look forward to welcoming you back to your Maui home away from home for many more wonderful memories!

The room is very clean and is very well stocked with everything in person could need as it turned out. My daughter needed to borrow some stuff from our room since her room did not have the amount of stuff needed. The only suggestion I have would be games, although I know they are available

We absolutely loved our stay here. We had the best time because we had everything we needed, and the location was perfect. The condo was so clean and comfortable. We watched whales every day from the balcony and loved being right at the beach. We would definitely pick this condo if we ever are lucky enough to make it back to hawaii.

We last stayed at The Whaler many decades ago, and the property is just as well maintained and beautiful as it was all those years ago. The Whaler has an excellent location, right on the ocean and so convenient to Whaler's Village with all it has to offer (without the parking hassles!) Staff we encountered were friendly, helpful and courteous. The Whaler is an older property and units are individually owned and our unit was very clean and well stocked with everything you could need for a vacation and then some. This was so nice not to have to run out and get basics for the week. Although we did not cook much, the unit seems to have everything you would need including access to very nice outdoor grills which we did utilize one evening. The balcony view is really nice, and you get a very good ocean view of the waves and catamarans that load on the beachfront. One evening we even had an endangered Monk Seal beach itself right in front of the property for a day or so while it rested! Overall this property is as-advertised and we really enjoyed our stay.The unit has had some cosmetic refreshing and the appliances seem to be new, but it could use some upgrading to the kitchen, cabinets and flooring in the unit to really be spectacular!

Mahalo so much for your wonderful and thoughtful review! It's especially heartwarming to hear that you returned to The Whaler after so many decades and found it just as beautiful and well maintained as you remembered.
We take great pride in making sure our condos are exceptionally clean, comfortable, and stocked with all those little extras that make a vacation more enjoyable. It's wonderful to hear that you appreciated those details, along with our friendly staff and the convenience of having Whalers Village right next door.
And what an incredible experience to have a Hawaiian monk seal choose the beach right in front of The Whaler for a little rest and relaxation! Even those of us who spend a lot of time here never get tired of seeing Maui's amazing marine life.
There's something truly special about relaxing on the lanai, watching the waves and catamarans, and enjoying the beauty of Ka'anapali Beach.
Thank you again for choosing to return to The Whaler after all these years. We truly appreciate your kind words and hope it won't be quite so many decades before your next visit!

Keith was a great host who prepared us with lots of helpful information prior to our trip and made sure all the supplies we needed were on site when we arrived. The unit really is only steps from the beach with a fantastic view of the sunrise and sunset plus it’s very well appointed. And the walk to Black Rock was an easy 5 minutes for snorkeling and Cliff jumping!

Mahalo for the wonderful review of our condo and sharing all the pictures from the lanai. The sunset picture is beautiful. It was a pleasure to host you and your family. And an added bonus meeting you in person.
I hope you guys return for another wonderful vacation.
I think I mentioned that I am now managing 14-16 other units at the Whaler.
Keith
From my very first interaction with Keith he was welcoming and clearly wanted us to have a great stay. The unit was so well-equipped with everything we could have wanted or needed, but the best part was the beautiful view and the proximity to the beach. We loved being on the 3rd floor which enabled us to take the stairs up and down to the beach and restaurants without using the elevators. I would definitely recommend this unit and hope to stay there again very soon!

Mahalo for your incredibly kind review! From our very first conversation, we truly wanted you to have a relaxing and memorable stay, so it means a lot to hear that reflected in your experience.
I’m so glad you found the unit well-equipped and enjoyed that beautiful view — it really is hard to beat! The third-floor location is one of our favorite features too, especially the gorgeous ocean view from the lania and easy access to the beach plus the nearby restaurants without waiting on the elevators.
Thank you for the recommendation — that’s the highest compliment we can receive. We would absolutely love to host you again very soon!
Keith
Great Ocean View! Beach gear was a plus, snorkels, bodyboards, sand toys was a perfect fit for my family. I feel like I packed way too much stuff to stay here. It literally had everything! It was like I was at home. :) I would definitely stay here again and bring only the clothes I needed. The host was awesome! Communication was fast and a lot of helpful information was given. 100% Recommend this Room. It is in the perfect location and walking distance to shops and food.

We loved our stay at The Whaler! The condo was exactly as stated and shown. We loved the lanai with views of the ocean, catamarans coming and going, the gorgeous sunsets and of course the whales! We spent a lot of time at the beach and access to beach towels was great. The condo came equipped with chairs and umbrellas which is always a plus for us.One of the most important concerns for us was the kitchen because of the need to cook healthy diet restricted meals. This kitchen had everything we needed and had everything shown online.The owners were very easy to communicate with and always responded to my questions in a timely manner. Resort staff were also very friendly and helpful when needed. The overall experience was wonderful and relaxing which we really needed. The location cannot be beat next to Whaler's Village and easy access to everything. I would definitely recommend staying here. Mahalo nui loa!

Mahalo so much for your wonderful and thoughtful review! We’re absolutely delighted to hear how much you enjoyed your stay at The Whaler.
It sounds like you truly made the most of everything—from relaxing on the lanai and taking in the sunsets, catamarans, and whales, to enjoying time on the beach. We’re especially glad the beach chairs, umbrellas, and towels helped make your days by the ocean even more enjoyable.
We also really appreciate you highlighting the kitchen. We understand how important it is to have a well-equipped space, especially when preparing specific meals, so it’s great to know it met your needs.
It was a pleasure communicating with you, and we’re happy to hear that both we and the resort staff helped make your stay smooth and relaxing. That’s exactly the experience we hope to provide.

Book your stay with the Clairvoyant Host! Highly Recommend!I think Whaler Resort has the closest rooms to the water on Ka'anapali Beach, and we loved sitting in this apartment listening to the waves. The view from the lanai was great, with lush landscaping on the property below. The photos are accurate, the bedding is comfortable, and the furniture is high quality, no cheap IKEA here. This kitchen is incredibly well stocked with quality pots & pans, dishes, cups, pyrex bowls, storage supplies, cooking utensils, spices, oils, sprays, a milk frother, and more. The host must be clairvoyant. Every time I thought of something I might need, I found it already here. We also used the outdoor grills. I have never cooked so much on Maui as I did during this stay, and I mean that as a compliment. The room is on the side facing Whalers Village, but the shopping center is mostly hidden by trees and bushes. While you can hear the air conditioning units from the complex, it was mostly a dull hum, and we didn't notice it when the slider doors were closed. If you are looking for a quiet place, this fits the bill.Beach time? Again the host was ready. While Whalers provides chairs and towels, we found folding beach chairs, umbrella, beach bag, boogie board and more ready to use in the apartment. Then, I needed to wrap a present... found scissors, tape, a pen. There were games. Books for little kids. A small pet peeve is a freezer without ice trays. This one had four! Need I go on?

Mahalo for such an incredible review! I have to admit, being called a “clairvoyant host” is a first, and it certainly brought a big smile to my face! I may have to add that to my résumé! LOL.
We put a lot of thought into stocking our condos with all those little extras that can make a vacation more enjoyable, so hearing that you found everything you needed—sometimes before you even knew you needed it—is especially rewarding!
I loved hearing how much you enjoyed cooking in the condo, using the outdoor grills, relaxing on the lanai, and listening to the waves. There's something truly special about being that close to the ocean on beautiful Ka'anapali Beach.
Your comments about the quality of the furnishings, comfortable bedding, and attention to detail mean a great deal to us. We want our guests to feel like they're staying in a home, not just another vacation rental.
And I'm especially glad those four ice trays came in handy! It's funny how the smallest things can make such a difference.
Thank you again for taking the time to share such a thoughtful and entertaining review. Guests like you make what we do so rewarding, and we'd absolutely love to welcome you back for another Maui vacation.
I'll do my best to have everything you're thinking of ready for your next visit, too!
