First time visiting Maui; stayed at The Whaler at Kaanapali Beach. The Whaler is a condo complex where owners rent out their units. The resort is in the center of activity, right next to Whaler Village with shopping and restaurants. The grounds are a bit small compared to some of the mega resorts but immaculately maintained. Staff was tremendous. Beach was nice but had definitely suffered some erosion. We had an issue with our room which was booked through Maui Resort Rentals. The original room was not available due to some damage (told this before we arrived) - moved to another room, unfortunately not as nice as the one we had originally booked with respect to location and view. The room was clean and comfortable, furnishings a bit dated and could have used more cleaning supplies, spices and food wraps. There is a washer / dryer outside the room on the floor - worked well. The pool is nice, more oriented towards adults than kids. New barbecue grills were great - used several times. The view is very dependent on your unit location. Those on upper floors toward the beach have the best views. Several catamaran charters depart nearby, right from the beach - very convenient. All in all, The Whaler is nice condo style resort, more geared toward adults.
