We stayed at the whaler for our honeymoon. The location could not be better. Right on the beach and near all of the great shopping and restaurants. Not crowded like some of the other resorts so this is an ideal place for an anniversary or a honeymoon. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Great place if you want to enjoy Maui, but want some peace and quiet. We very glad we stayed there as opposed to some of the loud and chaotic resorts located down the beach.
