We have stayed at The Whaler many times. It is a beautiful property. I will say, however, that some of the units need upgrades. There is some construction happening on tower 1 which caused the pool to be closed down for half a day.

Great kitchen for cooking food, and very close to black rock beach, which is our favorite beach. It's only a 4-5 minute walk. The beach is clean and beautiful in this area.

The area is beautiful you are right by the water. The hotel is older. The water in shower needed more pressure, and it took about 1o minutes for water to heat up. The wind blew through room and would make tiles in bathroom sound like someone was moving things in the night. The TV was a bit challenging to navigate. Staff was quiet but did not make you feel like they were happy you were there. When we called to ask if pool had any rules about bringing own drinks, nobody knew. We had to call to get new towels for room they do not bring fresh ones only upon request. Our door key failed prior to last day there. Parking was convenient did not find out later that it was all connected and you could go directly to lower level. Staff did not mention, they were quiet. Property was clean, and within walking distance of restaurants and a shopping center which was nice. No soda machines or ice machine for public use on hotel property.

The property is very comfortable, great location on a swimmable beach in the heart of Kaanapali. It is a condominium, not a resort or hotel, however. Staff was helpful and attentive. It is really great to be there when the whales are there, the stairwells provide excellent views of the many whale pods that are about.

The view and room was very nice overall, great place only suggestion is to have a bar near the pool with food service. But I suppose Whalers village is right next door but having that at the pool would make it a 10

We enjoyed our stay and are repeat visitors. The Whaler is well-located with good beach access and a central location on Kaanapali Beach. The rooms are fairly spacious and well-conceived and appointed if a little bit worn in some furnishings. The grounds are attractive and well-maintained. The one real negative is the pool situation. The pool is small and unimaginatively designed and the overall space around it for lounging is inadequate compared to all of its local competitors. There is room to remedy this situation but for now the pool falls short by a wide margin.

Wonderful stay
Enjoyed our 3 night stay here. They have different units, so we did not get the one pictured, but the condo we were given was updated, modern, and extremely clean. I was very impressed. I was skeptical booking this since it didn’t have any reviews, but I’m so glad I did. Right on the beach and close to Whaler’s Village with restaurants and shops. There’s also an ABC store which is like a convenient store and has all the basic needs you can buy.
