We stayed for a week in a beautiful studio apartment on the top floor, with a balcony looking out over the adjacent shopping area and with side-views of the ocean and the mountains. We were pleased with the pool and beach, and happy for the parking for my rental car under the building. There is no restaurant.

Centrally located on Kaanapali beach. Perfect for those that do not want the whole tourist resort…just a beautiful room and amazing staff. Quiet with full amenities! Rooms are studio, one or two bedrooms depending upon your needs. Recommend booking direct.
We stayed in Tower 2 on the 7th floor facing the courtyard. It was quiet and had a great view of the ocean even at night. The condo was clean and roomy. A table and chairs were on the balcony for our one bedroom condo so we ate breakfast out...
We stayed in Tower 2 on the 7th floor facing the courtyard. It was quiet and had a great view of the ocean even at night. The condo was clean and roomy. A table and chairs were on the balcony for our one bedroom condo so we ate breakfast out there. The bonus was the in-room washer and dryer with detergent. The location of this property is ideal because it is next door to Whalers Village. The ABC store on the second floor of Whalers Village allowed us to buy groceries and ready made wraps, sandwiches, etc. if we didn't feel like going out. The courtyard dining offered to-go options. Very close to Leilani's, Hula Grill and other popular restaurants. The beach was wide (as opposed to further south on Kaapanali Beach) and the sitting beach chairs were sturdy. Note: Since we drove in at night, it was confusing to drive into The Whaler entrance as you see three buildings. I didn't realize Aston was a management company. There is nothing to indicate Aston on the signage so check-in at The Whaler front desk which is manned 24 hours. Parking is underground and can be busy. We always found a spot though. There is an outdoor backup lot if it is full. 45 minutes drive to the airport. We turned in our rental car earlier in the stay so got a taxi back to the airport - $86 for two on Thanksgiving afternoon. I feel beach umbrellas should be part of the resort fee to provide shade on the beach. If you want shade, the pool is the only place without paying for it. Not all chairs at the pool are under shade either as the pool area is smaller and fenced in.

I had an excellent experience with this hotel! I stayed here in September 2024 during my first trip to Maui and nothing but compliments for all of the staff we interacted with, especially the front desk. The hotel is right on the beach, which is perfect, and it has a nice heated pool and hot tub. And the location is stellar! You are barely a 2 minute walk from Whalers Village, which has awesome dining, shopping, and an ABC Store. We rented a car but barely used it (note: lots of parking is available and its free). I really liked our room too-our bed was super comfy with soft linens, and it felt like a studio apartment with a full kitchen and dining room table. We also had a nice patio to enjoy the view. Other hotels may have more amenities and you don't get daily housekeeping here, but I would definitely stay here again! The location is second to none and the staff were great. Thanks!

We had a unit on the 12th floor overlooking the beach and the mountains behind us along with a golf course. This place exceeded our expectations and is exactly what we wanted. Very easy access to Whalers Village and several restaurants the grounds were meticulously taken care of and everything felt very clean and nice. Plenty of parking, pickleball and tennis courts. Pool and hot tub were so nice and directly on the beach. Koi pond/waterfalls were a nice centerpiece on the property. Steps away from one of Maui’s best beaches. We will definitely go back!

Good location on the beach and ocean
Plenty of restaurants and Starbucks within walking distance. Lots of free parking. Stock up on essentials when you leave the airport. Costco, Walmart, Whole Foods next to Airport. You are not gonna drive back since it takes about an hour from Kaanapali because of the debris removal in Lahaina. Loved...
Plenty of restaurants and Starbucks within walking distance. Lots of free parking. Stock up on essentials when you leave the airport. Costco, Walmart, Whole Foods next to Airport. You are not gonna drive back since it takes about an hour from Kaanapali because of the debris removal in Lahaina. Loved sitting on the balcony watching the ocean waves. We rented a Studio Ocean View Premium and were not disappointed.

My wife and I have been coming here for several years now for a couple weeks in the spring. We are healthcare workers and look forward to a respite from the pressures of our professions. We have stayed in several residences in the Whaler in the past decade. We find the setting pleasant, tranquil, safe, warm and courteous. This year something new happened that really spoiled our view of the place. Anticipating that we would be spending an entire day on the lawn, I walked down early in the morning before the crowds and spread our towels on two of the lawn chairs. I left a couple of odds and ends with the chairs, clipped our towels, so they would not blow away, and made a second trip to the room for the remainder of our day’s necessities. When I returned, I had found that an older couple had taken three of the lounging chairs, moved them to the side of the building for their own use; one of them being a chair I just spread a towel and belongings on. Oddly, several feet away, there was an unoccupied identical chair that was left alone. Weirdly, throughout the remainder of the day, they were nowhere to be seen much of the day. The chairs were left unattended for hours at a time. You don’t typically see this degree of amorality, arrogance, and egocentrism in their generation. The German word, fremdschämen, springs to mind, as I am painfully, embarrassed for their sake. The following day they grabbed 3 chairs, left towels on them and I did not see them return the entire day. I’m speechless at this degree of selfishness. My normal 5 star for the Whaler down graded this trip to 4 due to diminished caliber of its tenants. Used to be comfortable, decent stay.
