Super clean and lots of room in bedroom and bathroom. I gave a 4 star rather than 5 due to if you need help with luggage or brining heavy items up there was no one to assist. Some earlier reviews about smelling food from restaurants below were luckily unfounded. Nice view from balcony as well. Definitely worth it.

Disliked: Location
While the room was clean, spacious and very comfortable, we were disappointed that the location was on the side of the building that overlooked the Whaler Village restaurants. This made it loud and smelly, so our amazing views of the ocean from our deck weren't enjoyable as they could have been. We asked to be moved to the other side of the building, but no properties were available. They did respond promptly. Despite the smells, the bed is super comfy the bedroom is quiet and the kitchen was stocked well too. Their bottle of prosecco was a nice touch. 4 1/2 stars

Amazing stay!

We had such a great time in this unit at Whaler’s village. The location was perfect steps away from the beach in Ka’anapali with a low key family vibe: simple pool and hot tub, beautiful grounds and great people at Maui Paradise. Check-in and communication was seamless. The unit was perfect for what we needed and even better than the photos. The kitchen was very well stocked with everything needed to make meals, and the unit had a lots of little niceties: beach chairs, easy to read books and sand toys for kids. There were only two of us but could easily fit a family of four. We’d definitely like come back!
