Had to move rooms as the refrigerator was noisy and the maintenance person told us that he had told management he couldn't fix i the day before. A bit of a hassle for us. Not much in the way of offering exercise/yoga classes

My husband and I really enjoyed our stay here at the Whaler. It was very quiet and I noticed an older demographic seemed to be the majority of guests. I didn’t see too many young families. But I’m sure young families would do great at this hotel too. The pool looked just average which didn’t matter for us since we didn’t use it. So that might be why it doesn’t draw a lot of young families. It’s perfectly located between a bunch of other hotels and a very easy walk to the shops. Easy walk out to the beach too. We also liked the gym in the lower level. Pretty decent with a few cardio machines and weights/benches. It got the job done. Our room was very comfortable and was nice to come home to each day after being out playing all day. I really liked this hotel and would stay here again.

This property was exactly what we were looking for when it came to our accommodations. Everything we needed was nearby, the room and grounds were well kept, and the staff were nothing but friendly and helpful. We would highly recommend The Whaler at Ka’anapali to anyone and cannot wait to return.

Nice place, except (1) patio was closed for use because outside scaffolding was in place for painting, and a painter actually entered the patio while we were in the room; (2) construction noise -- jackhammering -- on neighboring room(s?) while we were there (drove us out of the room). No warning from property or Expedia that there was construction and painting underway. We were just sort of stuck with it. Absent this, we liked the place and found it very convenient and casual. One nit: they charge a $30 a day resort fee, and still want $25 a day to rent a do-it-yourself-carry-a-chair-to-the-beach small beach chair.

great time in nice place

Great location, easy to check in and check out. Great accommodation- condo after recent renovation, comfortable sleep( except bed frame is low and corners are always on the way, bumped foot several times- so, be careful). Kitchen has everything and enough for daily usage. The only what we don't like- its a noise from air conditioners at the Whalers mall- its work all the time and its very loud. So, its no pleasant time on the balcony at all- balcony should be closed all the times. Otherwise, very nice property, good resort- want to come back and will recommend to my friends

Our room was great, we stayed on 12th floor. The place was overall clean, and the view to the ocean was beautiful. This condominium is well maintained, it has a nice kitchen with the necessary pots and pans, dishwasher, and offers free laundry, which is conveniently located on the same floor. As you might be aware, this place is not a hotel, so don't expect housekeeping. We observed some construction in the property but it didn't bother us. One improvement I think they should consider is expanding the pool, it is small for the size of the property. I would definitely recommend this property, it's well maintained and located next to the Whaler's Village shopping center. Overall, I would stay here again in the future. Thank you.

We have stayed at The Whaler many times. It is a beautiful property. I will say, however, that some of the units need upgrades. There is some construction happening on tower 1 which caused the pool to be closed down for half a day.

The area is beautiful you are right by the water. The hotel is older. The water in shower needed more pressure, and it took about 1o minutes for water to heat up. The wind blew through room and would make tiles in bathroom sound like someone was moving things in the night. The TV was a bit challenging to navigate. Staff was quiet but did not make you feel like they were happy you were there. When we called to ask if pool had any rules about bringing own drinks, nobody knew. We had to call to get new towels for room they do not bring fresh ones only upon request. Our door key failed prior to last day there. Parking was convenient did not find out later that it was all connected and you could go directly to lower level. Staff did not mention, they were quiet. Property was clean, and within walking distance of restaurants and a shopping center which was nice. No soda machines or ice machine for public use on hotel property.
