We were fortunate enough to be upgraded on arrival to a one bedroom unit (we booked through the hotel). The unit was very clean, the decor was good, and the kitchen had everything we needed. The free wifi was reliable and very handy. Most importantly, the bed was huge and incredibly comfortable. From our first floor balcony we had good... More

We stayed at the Whaler (tower 2, unit 764). The complex is extremely well maintained and the staff very friendly, helpful and knowledgable. The grounds are kept immaculately, and the pool is very nice and close to the beach. The rooms offer wifi that actually works consistently with a very strong signal. Much appreciated when you're from Canada. The complex... More

The whaler is a great place to stay! We stayed in the ground floor unit #108 that we found on VRBO. The owner is very attentive and accommodating and she allowed us check in early so we could start our vacation as soon as we landed! The condo is amazing with a great ocean view.

Aloha and Thank You for your kind review. Quiet, relaxation and doing nothing sounds like a perfect place for some travelers. As a condotel, The Whaler is simple beach front living at its best! The all-inclusive may seem like a better value until you consider the cost to eat out and the daily amenity fees versus the fully stocked kitchen... More

After reading some reviews and learning that the units are individually owned, I was nervous about what we would get when we arrived. I booked a package through Costco and went with a studio garden room to save money. I sent an email to the address I found on the Aston Whaler web siite. I requested a newly updated unit.... More

Just returned from a 10 day stay at the Whaler. We've stayed there on two previous occasions and found it to be a good value for a property right on Kaanapali Beach. Rented an ocean view studio and found it to be clean and well kept up. The pool is small by hotel standards but adequate for adults. I think... More

Aloha, Thank You for your visit. I like knowing your accommodations were clean and well kept. Equally, courteous and helpful staff makes or breaks a vacation; especially when things are not working as well as they should.

Nicely furnished and clean. Great beach!!! It cost $40 per day to have an umbrella and chairs set up for you on the beach....but it was worth it. We also enjoyed the balcony. It was close to Whaler's Village so easy to walk to shopping and restaurants.
