Aloha and mahalo for your comments ~ We're glad you enjoyed the Whaler and its prime location. It was our pleasure to host you and we hope to see you again! With aloha, MRR
We had an amazing stay at this absolutely beautiful condo!! The condo is very spacious, newly updated and has the most gorgeous views from the wraparound balcony! The location is perfect, right in the middle of Kaanapali beach with a beautiful boardwalk along the entire stretch of beach. We also loved the convenience of Whalers Village next door. Being able to walk to dinner most evenings was super convenient. We would highly recommend a stay in this property!!
Amazing unobstructed view of both the ocean and the mountains. Saw whales daily from our balcony. The condo looks brand new, is nice and spacious, and has cold AC. The best condo we have ever rented and would definitely stay here again. The only negative is the Whaler pool is much too small, but we avoided the crowds there and stuck to the beach.

Mahalo for the wonderful feedback! We're thrilled you enjoyed the incredible views, spacious condo, and daily whale sightings—what a treat! We appreciate your note about the pool and are glad the beach made up for it. We hope to see you again soon!
Great property, Renter BEWARE. First, the Whaler Property is great! Great location, amongst all the big hotels, many restaurants and shopping. Will stay at the Whaler again! Now for the beware: the unit itself is nice. That said, at the whaler, Tower two, odd number rooms face the whaler shopping center. So when you step outside, you are greeted by the views in the picture AND by very loud industrial HVAC fans that drown out any ocean waves. This really killed the experience of sitting outside and enjoying the view and was super disappointing. Pick tower 1 to be safe, and even number units that face the courtyard.

Aloha and mahalo for your comments. We agree that the Whaler is a great property in a prime location, but we are genuinely sorry that your experience was negatively impacted by the fans of the adjacent property. We understand how disappointed you were to have the sound of the ocean waves drowned out and we regret that we couldn't move you to another unit. We hope that overall you still had a good vacation and enjoyed the resort and beach. Thank you again for your feedback. It was our pleasure to host you and we hope you'll allow us another opportunity to provide you with an exceptional vacation experience. With aloha, MRR
When things go wrong, and they do, the true metal of a company or individual comes through. The management of this property, Maui Resort Rentals, Inc, went above and beyond for our family. A big "thumbs up" for Miguel Cruz Romano and Hope T. I will not stay at a property that you do not manage. Our 30 year wedding anniversay family celebration is a beautiful lifelong memory and you definately helped make that true.
We came with our three teenagers ages 15, 14, 12. Property is in excellent condition, with great location. Facility grounds are very nice, beach access was good.
We had a great time in this unit. It was upgraded and clean. Only issue for us is we love to sleep with the doors open at night to feel the breeze. Unfortunately, we did not realize this unit was directly over the shopping area, and therefore the fans on the roof made noise all night long. Also, when sitting on the balcony at night, it was slightly distracting. As long as you keep the slider shut at night you will have no issue. Otherwise, everything else was perfect and exactly as described/shown.
I don't know why, but I thought that this was at the other corner of the building (ocean front), not the back side. Picture was a little difficult to show that. But nevertheless, Very clean and wonderful. Only minor negative is the morning noise from Whalers Village when supplies are delivered to the restaurants, etc.
Aloha Greg ~ Mahalo for your rating! It was our pleasure to host you and we hope to see you on your next Maui vacation. With aloha, MRR
