Very intimate, we had the partial ocean view just steps away from the beach. Room was very clean,had everything you need stocked in the kitchen for cooking. Rooms have no air but ceiling fans and leaving windows open cool down the room and not to mention hearing the ocean waves are at night is so calming. Pool has bbqs and is awesome at night with the tiki torches lit. Thursday night they had a pool party free Maui Tais and a live singer. Everyone is so friendly and helpful. They provide beach...

10/10 Excellent

Beautiful and well maintained property. The staff was friendly and helpful, but not intrusive at all. The hotel itself is lovely, and the surrounding grounds even more beautiful. We are average Joe kind of people, yet felt like we were treated like royalty. Because of the sacred burial grounds, beach access is either by walking a distance, or the hotel provides transportation via golf carts to and from, but that was only a minor inconvenience in my opinion.

The best family rental ever. For the price compared to all the other resorts you get the most bang for your buck: location, FULL KITCHEN, laundry, guest services, beach access, shopping, and the most beautiful ocean with snorkeling magic galore. We saw sharks turtles and fish by Black Rock. It was amazing. Our daughter loved her first trip to Hawaii. We will definitely be back to west Maui and highly recommend the Whaler.

We arrived and was very impress with the hotel to include staff at the Buffet breakfast place, concierge, Valet, and housekeeping. GOOD JOB !!! Everyone was at par and professional. The disappointing part was attending the Time Share presentation. The Presenter was very friendly and professional until we met the"TO" staff who gave us some options to buy in a Westin Time Share program.

The setting here is wonderful. We could see and hear the waves whenever we were in our room. We had many meals on the balcony. But if you want a ocean view, make sure your building is one that has an ocean view. Ocean front rooms are more expensive, of course. If you don't care, the garden rooms have a very nice garden view as the gardens are nice too. Both the Gazebo restaurant and Imu BBQ were reasonable and delicious. Each evening other vacationers would gather on the bluff by the ocean...

We had such a wonderful stay! The condo was clean, comfortable, and in a great location. We loved the beautiful view and listening to the ocean every night.
