Great room and centrally located next to Whalers Village. Walking distance to many spots along Kaanapali beach. Was not notified that parking is first come first served. Garage parking is usually full and overflow lots are really close so it wasn’t a big deal really. Would come back for sure.

After the Lahaina fires, we returned home to help my elderly parents whose heydays included the first hotel built in Kaanapali. Having stayed at the majority of resorts here over the years, I highly recommend this hidden gem & experience the staff’s true spirit of aloha.

Natural disaster
We were at the Whaler during the fires and we understand it was a natural disaster so our input is clouded by this disaster. Our hearts go out to all the families and everyone that was impacted. The staff at the Whaler was incredible and did a great job in managing the situation. We hope to return again and hopefully we will have a better time.

Amazing location
We had a fantastic stay at this condo. You can’t beat the location, with it being right on a great beach, next door to Whaler’s Village giving easy access to shops and restaurants, and right on the paved walk way the runs along the resorts in the area. It was a quick few minute drive to Lahaina and a short drive from tons of great beaches and sites along the coast of Kaanapali and north of. The condo itself was very comfortable and well equipped. The bed was comfortable, there were beach chairs and a cooler available and beach towels available through the building. We enjoyed having breakfast and watching the sunset from the deck. We had a fantastic stay!

Great location and facility. Generally very happy with this unit and would come back. To nitpick, the kitchen could have been better equipped, there were some stains on the carpet, and an issue with hot water coming out of the cold faucets in the bathroom.
