We love staying at The Whaler and this unit has been out family’s favorite. We’ve already booked for next summer. The condo is super clean. The kitchen is new and well-stocked. The bedroom has two full beds and the den has a queen Murphy bed, which was a super comfortable bed setup for our family of four. I like how the unit isn’t too low or too high in the condo. Floor 5 is just right. The only thing missing from this condo is a washer/dryer in unit. We had to use the community washers, which weren’t always available, so we had to run to other floors on occasion.
As for The Whaler, it’s my favorite resort in the Ka’anapali area. It’s close to Whaler’s Village for food/shops. It’s close to black rock for snorkeling … although, the beach in front of The Whaler has decent snorkeling there, too. It has an enjoyable/quiet pool - it won’t compete with the big hotel pools, but it does the job for our family. They have towel service - four towel cards for our family of four. They have beach chairs. They used to let you feed the Koi, but that has recently stopped. Maybe they’ll restart at some point?
