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.

I chose this property because of the location, it is right where I wanted to be, right by Whaler’s Village and convenient to desired activities. The room had a full kitchen, and I enjoyed using the pool.

I like how the property is small but immaculate. Definitely get a room that faces inward and not overlooking Whaler’s Village. Pool area could be larger, and the hot tub temperature could be much lower. Although I asked them to lower the temperature of the hot tub and many other people complained about the scalding hot temperature, it was never resolved. As a person who likes to enjoy the hot tub for a little bit each night, this was a huge disappointment.
