We just got back from our trip to Maui. I had read the reviews of the hotel before we left, and found them helpful. The hotel is under construction, which was the only inconvenient part. The rooms I saw and stayed in were a bit older--some dated, but that didn't seem to matter because the views are amazing, the beach... more

We ended up at the whaler by accident. We were supposed to be at the Mahana up the road but they completely stuffed up out booking for 7 people and only booked one apartment. The Whaler is by far better. The beach is great whereas the other hotel's beach area was full of coral and you couldn't really swim there.... more

This was our second trip to Maui and the second stay at The Whaler and we love both.It's nice to have a kitchen in Maui ,you'll save money to spend on other things.There is a Safeway grocery about 3 miles down the road.The Whaler has very nice condos for a very good price compared to other properties.There is some minor... more

We just spent 6 nights in Maui for our honeymoon. The top things we'd recommend are: snorkeling with Pride of Maui, Mama's Fish House, an Oceanside massage at the Four Seasons and a catamaran Sunset Sail. The shopping in Lahaina was very touristy but fun. We ended up buying a painting at gallery night as a remembrance. The store Maui... more

We stayed at the Whaler in March, but I have only now found the time to write a review. We have been to Maui seven times, and this was our first and last stay at the Whaler. Yes, the location is fabulous, but the hotel itself is in dire need of repair. The hallways need new carpet and paint. The... more

We shared a 2 bedroom/2 bath oceanfront condo with another couple. I always wondered if it was worth the extra money for oceanfront, but it absolutely is (at least for this property). Our lanai directly faced the ocean, and we had floor to ceiling sliding glass doors on the two outside walls of the condo. I was a little nervous... more

This was our fifth trip to the Whaler, but it may be our last. Our room was comfortably furnished, but the bed linens were textured and uncomfortable. There always seems to be some kind of construction at the Whaler when we visit- this year it was near the pool area. The wi fi set up was awful and didn't work... more

We rented through Maui Beachfront Rentals and they were great. When ATA went under a mere two days before we were supposed to arrive we panicked; the condo was paid for and we had no way to get to it! Lesli at Maui Beachfront was so helpful and understanding, really cannot say what that meant to us! Ended up in... more

I enjoyed it so much that I couldn't leave! So I extended my vacation two more days. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The ocean view was outstanding. I enjoyed the free entertainment and the conveniece of Whaler's Village. My room exceeded my expectations. I was on the 11th floor.Be sure to try the spa in Lahaina. I received... more
