This condo was great! We had a fantastic stay. I would recommend this particular unit to anyone. It was extremely clean upon arrival, no musty/mildew or strange odors (which I am always worried about in HI), and all appliances functioned great (we were in shock at how well the ice maker worked - you will not have to buy extra ice for those blended drinks - blender works great too!). The kitchen really had all the supplies you needed to cook meals & plenty of dishes/cups/utensils. The free laundry room (separate washer/dryer)/trash chute/elevators are all just a few steps away from your room. The lanai is a good size - it would be nice if they had a lounger chair out there too, but they had a foot rest which we used often. (Lanai View: the ocean/beachwalk to the left, lawn straight down, straight ahead view of neighboring hotel/condos, and the right side view is the tennis courts/mountains.) Final note on the room - it’s quiet! I didn’t hear my neighbors or anyone in the halls. Not once!
The Whaler itself is in good condition. Very clean and friendly staff. Centrally located! You are so close to MonkeyPod! The pool was a tad lack luster and the water is a bit chilly. It was heavily used but we always got a spot. Also note that there isn’t a lot of shaded areas available - so if shade is what you require (like us) scope out the pool to find that special spot and grab it the next day. Overall, a fantastic stay and we would definitely come again!
(Note: Cleaning services are not included, and just be aware that the hotel will not clean the room. So for any longer stays - know that they do provide laundry detergent, dish soap, broom/vacuum, etc. for when it’s time to pick up a bit. But you may want to add extra toilet paper & paper towels to your grocery list.)
