Feb 04, 2026Whaler is a perfect location.
Whalers is in an excellent location on Kaanapoli Beach... minutes walk to Whalers Village shopping, and plenty of dining choices. Spacious, clean and comfortable. We stay at a 2 bedroom, 2 bath, premium, ocean front so able to enjoy the wrap around lanai fir perfect whale watching and people watching. The full kitchen is perfect for breakfast and snacks!

Outstanding hotel with great views!
The location is perfect, close to a nice walk path and entertainment. The staff from entrance gate to the grounds crew were absolutely at best. The hotel property was immaculate! The grounds crew take great pride in showmanship. The room was extremely clean and well equiped for a great stay. We highly recommend the Aston at the Whaler for a great vacation on Maui!

Dec 04, 2025Good facility, poor service and hidden charges
I booked through hotels.com and ended up paying almost double in fees. The management had changed and they charged every possible fee on earth. Cleaning fee, damage waiver fee, reservation fee, and whatnot. I did not even get a proper invoice. The cleaning fee was double because it was a 2-room apartment. Room was spacious and good, but spoiled by hidden charges. Never going to book anything through hotels.com or Aston.

Whaler exceeded our expectations!
The Whaler exceeded our expectations! We had a studio ocean view with a kitchen and can't wait to go back!!! We were in unit 618 that had views of the ocean to the left and the mountains to the right. We had an amazing balcony view with a table and lounge chair. The unit provided beach chairs and a cooler. The grounds were IMMACULATE. We joked about seeing a leaf on the beautiful lawn. The pool was a perfect temperature. Some things to keep in mind. The pool is deep - straight to 5 feet. Not really a place for young kids. Most of the crowd was 50+. Was a quiet pool with people reading etc. There is no restaurant but you are very close to Whaler's Village where there are several restaurants. Plus we took a tip off Facebook group page and pre-ordered food and picked up from WalMart on the way! Worked out great. Parking was free and super easy underground. Beach is amazing
