Amazing place to stay for a couple! Just the right amount of space and located right next to whalers village! The bed was comfortable and the AC and ceiling fan kept the room cool which was perfect! Also, the place had beach chairs and a cooler we were able to take to the beach which was also walking distance. Would highly recommend staying here at the whaler!

Thank you for sharing your experience Kayla! We are happy to hear you enjoyed the beach and your time with us.
Conveniently located next to Whalers Village and Black Rock. Covert clean facilities!
Great place to stay. Lots of older folks so it is fairly quiet. Facility was clean and staff was friendly. Would have been nice if there was access to a workout facility, but I believe that was for members only, not guests.

Very friendly staff, the location and view were amazing. The room was clean and spacious and very beautiful. Would stay here every time I go to Maui in the future. The beach is also very clean and not too crowded even at its busiest. Couldn’t recommend this place enough!

It was a pleasure hosting your group, Sam. Mahalo for choosing to stay with us!
This was my 11th time to Maui. It’s my favorite place in the whole world. Our room at the Whaler was fantastic. The view looking towards Black rock was stunning. The room was nice and very comfortable. I spend most of my time on the balcony Just enjoying the view. The Whaler is a great location for restaurants and shopping. Just perfect. We did not have to rent a car. I certainly will be back.
Very clean. Cozy. Has a fantastic view of the ocean. The koi pond. Really just a nice place to stay at a great beach. Highly recommend. I looked long and hard for a nice place that didn’t break the bank. And this was it !
This property was just as described. The location was great – steps to the beach short walk to Whalers Village. The property was beautiful and well maintained. We didn’t have any trouble finding a place to park in the garage. Elevators were quick. We had plenty of room for the two of us, and the bed was very comfortable.
Great unit for 2. Great location.
Unit interior is dated but clean and comfortable. Carpet needs a shampoo or replacement.
