Shops and restaurants can be enjoyed in any of the hotels or at Whaler’s Village. Relish the free hula performances at Hula Grill and Kaanapali Beach Hotel’s Tiki Bar. Enjoy fine retailers like Lululemon, Sephora and Tommy Bahama. Leilani’s on the Beach, Hula Grill and Monkeypod are great restaurants at Whaler’s Village along with many grab-and-go places too.

Snorkel sails, sunset cruises and parasailing are all at your fingertips.

To the north of the Whaler resort is the famous Black Rock at the Sheraton Maui.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was somewhat unhappy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Everything was superb - great location for restaurants, shopping, whale watching, beach walking. The room was lovely - nice balcony view of the ocean, clean and well stocked. The only thing that disturbed us was the air conditioner that ran all the time on the property next door.

WiFi Doesn’t Work

Nice view and property. Pool is very small and crowded for the size of the complex. They did not have a record at the gate or the front desk of my prepaid reservation so check in was not easy. WiFi did not work during my entire stay. I asked management company Sullivan and the front desk for help. I needed to do some work while I was there and needed WiFi so that was important to me. Sullivan didn’t help at all but the front desk sent someone up. They tried but couldn’t fix it.

Dirty and dingy

The room was dirty and dingy. Size of bed was not accurate. Dishes and pots and pans were too dirty to use which defeated the purpose of having kitchen space. No beach accessories provided in room (chairs, boards, umbrellas, etc.). Additionally the water pressure was awful and were very slow to drain. Had to take short showers otherwise the water started collecting and rising at the bottom of the tub

The bathroom was not very clean, mold around the overflow of the bathtub.

I have stayed in other units at the Whaler and the rooms may have been a tad dated but they were clean. This room was not cleaned properly, mold was around the rim of the toilet, around the overflow in the bathtub, and around the ceiling in the bathroom. I personally will not rent from this company again.

Gets the job done

The whaler is a very intriguing hotel. It has all the big ticket items you’d want: overlooking the ocean, a wonderful pool, access to laundry, and is a conveniently short walk from anything you’d want. However, it’s the little things that arise once you get there. For starters when we arrived and approached the front desk to check in we were greeted by an unfriendly receptionist who could not find our reservation. Although we booked and paid for our honeymoon vacation over four months ago, they could not find us in their system and even asked if we were sure we were at the right hotel. He begrudgingly took our IDs and continued to look through the system until he found it. We just got off the plane and had to wait for half an hour while this man was rudely welcoming us. Once he finally found it, he didn’t even offer an apology. Once we got to the room we found it in need of a sweeping, as well as for the counters to be wiped down. My husband did the cleaning while I unpacked and despite the minor dirtiness we both really did enjoy the room. It had a wonderful view, and plenty of space. But it was clear this room hadn’t been renovated in quite some time as the television was far too old and the Wi-Fi continued to break out. The rest of our stay at the Whaler really was wonderful though, as the amenities were perfect for us, the hotel was right on the beach, and the rest of our interactions with staff were very pleasant. Nate in particular was especially friendly, it’s a shame that our first impression was so poor from Ron’s lack of customer service skills.

Great location - Outdated Condo + Lots of noise

It really is like others described. The price is correct for the area. But do not expect to have quiet time at the balcony. The noise is really irritating. I actually though to leave and book something else, but it was too late. On the positive side, the location is unbeatable . It is in the hearth of West kananapali and close to everything . You will be paying for the location, not for the condo itself. It did have everything you need.

Great location

The studio was clean and had everything we needed. Overall, it was great and we had a great time. The only complaint was the sofa bed. It broke down on us and while they fixed it, it was a pain to pull out and put back in every time. I think it is time for a new one. However, the view, location and everything else was great.

Great value

This was one of the least expensive rentals we found at The Whaler, which made perfect sense. The mattress felt like a roll-away, pillows so thin you needed to fold them over (which they did without resistance), the furniture unsupportive with an impossible-to-stain polyester fabric, the dishwasher cacophonous, and all kitchen utensils as cheap as can be found. Also note that this spot is on the southern side of the South building, so you get to hear the A/C cooling tower pumps and service trucks backing up. If you're planning to be anywhere but inside while visiting Maui, this place is a bargain!

Never again!

We needed a condo for a few days while we transition from two condos in the same building for our long staying. I paid for early checking because we had to live food from fridge to fridge and the day we were moving our reservation didn’t even show on The whaler’s system, so we had to start calling the condo manager several times, then they approved but not with the early checking and when they approved it the unit wasn’t ready. I had confirmed by Vrbo messages several times before. They refunded the early checking fee at least. Anyway, I should have read and pay attention to the previous reviews. The condo wasn’t clean, the bathroom smelled terrible, it was disgusting.

Very disappointing!

Our one week stay in this unit was very disappointing, due to a myriad of mechanical issues and constant noise from the compressors at the next door restaurant complex. Mechanical issues included a coffee maker that didn't work, patio doors that would barely open and shut due to dirty and rusty runners, patio curtains that wouldn't open and close properly, garbage disposal with something caught in it, making it unusable, filter from the spray arm in the kitchen sink that wouldn't stay in place, making it unusable, toilet flushing problems that required up to three flushes to get everything down with us holding the flush handle down the entire time, very old flooring, which needs total replacement or at least a good cleaning, lack of any hand towel bars in the bathroom. We called the property management firm the day we arrived about the coffee maker and patio doors and they sent over a new coffee maker and a maintenance man to fix the patio doors, but, whatever he did there was no improvement. We have stayed at another unit at this resort and have been very satisfied with that. It has been newly renovated and is on the other side of Tower Two and we made the mistake of assuming that this unit would be comparable. It is probably the worst experience we've had in our travels. I would not rent this Unit again at any price. I really feel that a consumer should be made aware of the noise problem, along with the very dated features.
