The location of the Whaler is fantastic. All rooms have a view of the ocean. In this unit, the kitchen is well stocked and beautifully remodeled. The bed was comfortable and the room was clean. Would definitely stay here again!

50th Anniversary Trip
We have stayed at the Whaler any times in the past and it is one of our favorite places in the world. The resort is fine but I would not stay in this unit again. It was advertised as being recently remodeled which is not true. The carpet was filthy and the bathroom floor had hair all over it when we checked in. The kitchen may have had new countertops but I don’t think the bathroom had been touched since it was built in the sixties. I personally removed two roaches from the unit the day we checked in. We love the Whaler and its location but we would choose a different unit next time.

Cleanliness
The unit needs a deep cleaning especially the bathroom-caulk,grout really dirty. Cabinetry and hardware sticky,dirty. 2 plates in the cupboard were coated with dry food.
The Whaler is a terrific place to stay in Maui. My wife and I were both very happy we choose this property. The room was beyond our expectations, very comfortable and the view was awesome. I would recommend this place to anyone. Right next to Whalers Village with dozens of shops and great places to eat all along the beach. We will be definitely be back!
The location was perfect, walking distance to restaurants and shops. The beach is clean with great snorkeling right off the shore. Our unit was well equipped, clean with a really nice ocean view. We’ll be back!! The management company was very responsive, helpful and answered all our questions without delay.
Overall, excellent though the television is awkwardly small for the room.

Reviewer Comments:
The condo is in a perfect location with a wonderful view. However, it felt like I was staying in my Uncle's basement - the furniture is at least 30 years old as are the soft furnishings. I woke up thinking I was 20 years old again and wondering if my sheets were clean (the sheets even felt 30 years old). A little investment in furniture and soft furnishings would push this place past the 5 stars mark. Also, we had a problem with a neighbor smoking weed on his lanai. However one feels about pot, this is a non-smoking building and the stench made it impossible to use the lanai or open our screen doors. It took management 2 days to get back to us, in the meantime we had contacted security. Even with all of this, Maui is a magical place and the condo building is truly a perfect location.
We loved the location of this property right next to whalers village and just down from black rock for great snorkeling. The unit was spacious for a studio and the deck was quite large. The only negative thing I would say, and it's minor, is that the living room area has carpet and it has some stains which I think make the overall appearance of the condo not as aesthetically pleasing. The unit and the property were clean and comfortable and I would stay there again.
Great unit for our honeymoon in Maui! The Whaler is the perfect location.

Reviewer Comments:
We stayed in unit 1216 managed by The Whaler in June 2022. From the moment we checked in we felt unwelcome by the condescending staff. Staff barely acknowledged us when we arrived at the front desk for check in, we felt like we were bothering them by checking into our room. Our room card didn’t work and they made us go up and down 3 times to check to see if the new card worked. Luckily we are both 30 years old so the hike up and down wasn’t too bad. No one assisted us with our bags when we arrived so we used one of the “amenity shopping carts” to transport our luggage. We paid a 300 dollar fee upon arrival and 200 dollars after check out. During our stay, we asked staff for clean bath towels but were told we weren’t entitled to those because that wasn’t included in the fees we paid. Staff told us we can wash our own towels. There was also a giant hole in the ceiling above the shower which made noise throughout our entire stay. When we went to exchange the pool towels we paid for, the guy Joseph was extremely rude and condescending and made us feel so small for asking for clean towels. Overall, we had a horrible experience at The Whaler. The next time we return to Maui, we will not be staying here or recommending this place to our friends and family.
This property has been there for many years, but is meticulously maintained. The particular unit we stayed in, however, suffers from some deferred maintenance. We were comfortable, however and enjoyed our stay.

Staying at the 1216 Whaler unit was everything we hoped for! Location is perfect. Waking up to the view of the ocean/black rock and having coffee out on the deck was a great way to start our days - so magical to see whales from the deck, too! The grounds, amenities, and staff at the Whaler were all spectacular. We had such a great time staying here - and we would totally come back and stay at the same unit the next time we visit Maui!
Best location in Kaanapali, great view, updated small (but modern) kitchen area. Bathroom old, not cleaned well, and the rest of the condo was also tired, but spacious for a studio. If you've been to this area before, you'll be very happy in this unit, but it's not as clean and modern as a nicer hotel.
We love staying at The Whaler, and the view from this property was gorgeous. We could hear the music from the local luau at night. It should be noted that the "Lazy Susan" in the kitchen has been broken since 2019, according to the notes left by others who have stayed. Lots of room to store your Costco load in the refrigerator/freezer. A decent BBQ set would be MUCH appreciated here. It was pretty stormy while we were in Maui, and the tiles of the bathroom ceiling would rattle with the wind. The corner of the tiles over the shower is falling apart and there's a hole in the corner. The tub is decent for a quick wash off, but not a place you want to spend any time in. There were some issues with the lights in the bathroom occasionally not working as well. Lots of great books to peruse while we were there, but a lot of them were political-probably the last thing we all want to read while on vacation. Overall, this was easy to book with a beautiful view but it could definitely use a little updating.
