Ideal location with great beach, dining, and shopping access and the benefits of being in a condo. Ofc Hawaii is expensive, but an Expedia pricing deal and a kitchen made the Whaler a great hotel resort alternative. Ocean View units have a truly great ocean view; space and condition were good and clean, if slightly dated. Bathroom was spacious, and kitchen was well stocked for what we needed. Front desk service was friendly and helpful. Remember that you won't get cleaning service during your stay. While this property doesn't have dining / bar / shopping options itself, it is right next door to Whaler Village, where options are great. Lobby is staffed around the clock for easy check in / check out. Parking is a little limited in the garage, but a walk from the outer lot isn't bad. Pool area was nice, if a bit small, and two outdoor grilling areas are great if you want to have dinner on your own right by the beach. The only issue I had was a check out receipt that seemed to show an extra "destination charge" being put on my card. It turns out that it wasn't - the charge was built into our pre-paid stay. Clarifying that would help. My favorite thing about this property? The amazing beachfront, right in the middle of the Kaanapali stretch, with the mini boardwalk making walking to dinner, excursions, etc. easy. Watching the whales from shore every day was amazing! Able to access some boat-based excursions right from the hotel beach too. We'd definitely stay here again.

Hotel staff friendly and helpful. Quick check in and out. Good dining options in walking distance. Very nice room with ocean view. Only downside was TV in main room was iffy about signal about 1/3 of the time. Very small and crowded pool area. People saving 4 spots for 2 people to move in and out of sun. Pool too deep for wading as was 5-6 feet deep throughout. Overall was a very nice property and well kept up.

Amazing property and value with excellent location and amenities. Room was absolutely gorgeous with very comfortable beds and living spaces. The wrap around Lanai was fantastic! My family was very happy and content with the room and its amenities. The property itself is beautiful and the staff were extremely friendly and knowledgeable. Our only complaint: The room had a washer and dryer but was not to be used per the owners of the property. An inconvenient detail for sure and although the property itself had a washer and dryer it was almost impossible to use due to other guests. I specifically looked for rooms with washer/dryers for convenience- should have stated on the room detail page that the unit did not have a washer/dryer. Highly recommend the Whaler!!

Very nice room. FANTASTIC staff. We arrived on a Friday night. We were initially given a room with a scheduled closed balcony for Monday-Friday (for painting). This was unacceptable so we asked for a different room. The staff was very helpful in relocating us to an even better room with a corner balcony. The pool is nice. We were very surprised there was minimal “pressure” on the loungers with umbrellas that we’ve routinely encountered at other nearby resorts. One downside - no pool bar. Bring your own cooler with drinks! The bellman was especially nice and friendly. We observed more folks in our (senior) age range than younger folk which was fine by us! The beach here is awesome - the best on Kaanapali Beach, IMO. Underground parking right below Tower 1 was great. Just be back before, say, 7-8 PM. Proximity to Whalers Village is an huge plus. Overall, the Whaler was a very enjoyable resort.

We were very pleasantly surprised at how well run The Whaler is. We weren’t sure what to expect knowing that all of the units are privately owned, but it was run essentially like a hotel, with a concierge desk, front desk, house keeping etc. Everything was very clean, including all walkways, elevators and bathrooms near the reception desk. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful with everything. We will definitely be back!

We went with another couple and loved the walkability of the area. The staff were fabulous, the gardens were impeccable, parking was easy. What we did NOT know is that we were getting a room (apartment) that belongs to someone renting out their place to tourists. There were a couple of things that could have used a fresher-upper, but it was a lovely apartment with a great view. Generally it was SO good and we WILL be back (but maybe not THAT particular apartment).
