Loved It!
We loved the Kaanapalli Beach. The hotel was fabulous in many ways - the employees were helpful...the room and views were great. The beach was clean, quiet and not crowded. The convenience of the location was perfect for our Maui exploring adventures. We would definitely go back.

Paradise in Hawaii
The Whaler was a dynamite place to stay! It was great to be able to make our own food most of the time. The price was comparable to all the other resorts on the beach but you have the full kitchen witch gives you the option of staying in if you want. It’s not as "cool" looking as some of the other places but the room was nicely done with granite and Koa wood cabinets in the bathroom and kitchen. The location is great too, right next door to Whaler’s Village. The bed was a bit hard but that is our only complaint. We would definitely stay there again.
Traveler's tip on recreational activities
Great rental bikes at West Maui Cycles! They were supper helpful also.

Great place in Kaanapali
Just returned from the trip to Maui, our first in Kaanapali area. Whaler exeeded our expectations with great location and service. We’ve got an ocean view studio that was completely remodeled and featured brand new stainless steel appliances, cherry wood cabinets, huge king-size bed with nice plush matress, LDTV with DVD player and walk-in closet. Our stay was very comfortable and service was great. We had our return flight late in the evening and were allowed late check-out and use of the pool for the whole day. Everyone was very friendly and happy to please. There was couple of good restaurants nearby in the Whalers Village: Hula Grill, Cane & Taro. Snorkeling was wonderful in the walking distance from the hotel at the Black Rock: turtles and lots of fish. We had a wonderful time and will definitely come back.
Traveler's tip on getting the most out of your stay
We went on a sunset cocktail cruise (Teralani catamaran) and liked it a lot. There is also a great snorkeling in the Honolua Bay.
