Views are spectacular for whale watching, people watching and sunsets. Comfortable and well appointed with very nice property amenities. You're right next door to Whaler's Village for shopping and many restaurants you can walk to. Very enjoyable stay!

Thank you so much for your review. The lanai is a great spot for whale watching. We once saw a triple breach, which is very rare, from the corner of the lanai. After watching the whales, it's nice having a glass of wine and watch the sunset. Thanks again and please come back.
Everything went smoothly and the amazing views and proximity to everything can’t be beat. Very tastefully decorated and it has everything you need.

Thanks so much for writing a review. We too stayed in a Hotel when we first came to Maui. We started staying at The Whaler and found it to have so many advantages. Instead of going to crowded and expensive restaurants we enjoy meals sitting on the lanai with the best views of all Kaanapali. The extra room and privacy are also a great benefit. Come back again soon.
Good location, great floor plan. Really enjoyed the lanai.

Thanks for taking the time to write a review. Kaanapali Beach is always listed as one of the best beaches in the World. The things you mentioned in your review are some of the reasons why. Thanks again and please come back soon.
John and Trisha's place in The Whaler is fantastic! Clean, well stocked and perhaps the best location in the entire complex. 2nd floor, super easy access to stairs which lead directly to the beach. Views of both the beach and pool area as well!

Thanks for the review. We also like the fact that we can use the steps out front. It's realy nice that you don't have to walk to the back of the building and wait for an elevator. We waited for a long time to purchase this unit as it has the famous Lanai, Molokai and Black Rock view. Thanks again and come back soon.
The views from the balcony are fabulous. The condo has everything you need. The hosts are very nice. The grounds are beautiful and the staff is friendly and helpful. We already booked our stay for 2024.

Thanks so much for taking the time to write a review. As you, we spend most of our time on the Lanai. So much to see and watch. We look forward to your return.
We’ve been to Maui 5x and finally found the perfect place to stay. We’ve stayed at the Whaler before but Unit 252 exceeded our expectations. The views from the lanai can’t be beat and you need only to walk down one flight of Stairs and you are at the beach!
