The Whaler property is very clean and well maintained. This unit is perfect for 2 people to relax and enjoy everything about Maui. The view from our balcony was excellent to enjoy breakfast and watch the sunrise. Or have a drink and watch the Black Rock divers each evening. The beach was clean and beautiful. The Whaler location is so convenient right next to Whalers village where there are plenty of places to shop or eat and drink. The owners were very responsive to our questions. We would definitely return in the future.

This is a nice top floor apartment with views of both the mountains and the ocean, specifically BlackRock beach. Wonderful views and the Whaler resort is our favorite as it has amazing beach and snorkeling at Black Rock with quick access to the Whalers Village Mall and all of its shops, restaurants, and most importantly the ABC store. That makes getting stuff you need easy. Would definitely stay again.

This is a great unit with an amazing view. The view of Black Rock was awesome to look at every time we looked outside. The easy access to the beachfront walkway was very nice. The pool area was very nice. Many great restaurants within easy walking distance. Starbucks at the Westin was less than a 5 minutes walk. Overall this is an amazing unit and we would definitely return in the future.

Nothing needs immediate attention. Some observations - The contractor did a lousy job on the ceiling in the shower. You can look up into the attic and see piping and insulation, which isn't great. Wallpaper is peeling off in a bunch of places, which is just cosmetic but not great. Bed spread is very worn out. I would recommend upgrading to a smart TV to allow guests.to watch programs they pay for.
