This property is ideally located just north of the beach walk. The pool area is attractive with waterfalls and plenty of loungers. Beach is perfect the in house programs for fun - bbq and movies at the pool, water volleyball, hulu lessons. Great staff and easy fun to join More

Two week stay in Tower One- Room 1103 (the renovated side). Ocean view was wonderful. Full kitchen in a studio suite was just right for my wife and I. Each night we left the lanai doors open and went to sleep to the sound of the waves on the beach. In the morning we would wake to the sounds of... More

Just got back and the South tower is still under serious construction. Scaffolding, beeping, less parking etc. Weird experience, black rock was closed due to a boat wreck, south tower room was uacceptable due to construction, just generally weird. They switched us to a north tower room (that was awesome RM 723 ) for 75$ more a night. Which in... More

We love Whaler 1202- it's the corner top penthouse. Whaler has one of the best beach locations, and this corner has unobstructed views for miles. BUT the best part is the view from the Master bedroom and second bedroom (which has 2 Queen size beds) is also the beach and Black Rock. The living room has both Black Rock and... More

My husband and I have just return from a stay at The Whaler on Kaanapali Beach and are pleased to say that we had a great experience from the time we checked in until we checked out a week later. We stayed in a privately owned studio unit which was VERY roomy and had a good sized balcony with a... More

This rental unit could quite easily get 5 Stars but, loses out because a few short falls. It is clean,has an excellent view/location. The kitchen is very dated and, the utinsels looked like they where bought on the last day of a garage sale. The frying pans have very little Teflon left. (I can show pictures) The stove is about...

When we went there were renovations going on. There were no problems. Construction was going on during the day, but we were hardly there & it wasn't so bad we couldn't enjoy the room. Whaler Village, next door, was great. The little convenience shop there was great for picking up anything from souvenirs to a bag of chips & a... More

Third time to Hawaii, second time to The Whaler, while ther is major construction on tower 2, we were given a condo in tower 1 on the top floor. Had a couple little problems, safe didn't work, tub was very slippery and needed a bath mat. All problems were taken care of right away. Will definately stay here again More

The Whaler was just what I wanted, although I did not know it. It is great as much for what it isn't, as much as what it is. I rented a studio condo unit from the owner for the second week of December, just before high season. Real value. It was spotless, with a great balcony view. The first night... More
