Great place!

This was a perfect place for 2 or even 3! Ppl. Great view of the north west side of Kaanapali beach. The unit was clean and cooking/eating utensils were sufficient. There’s no Carrie over or basic spices so you need to buy/bring everything if you’re planning to cook there. Highly recommend!

Beautiful View, Wonderful resort, kitchen items not well appropriated

We had a wonderful stay. The resort and location are wonderful! Our only issue was that the unit we stayed in was not well appropriated for our stay. We had two butter knives, three forks, no pan for baking side dishes. there’s only three grill sheet type pans. While we enjoy eating out, we also enjoyed using the grills. I had to go to the store and buy some disposable tin pans to make some of our food. Also, could not run the dishwasher when it was full because I needed to hand wash utensils and dishes every time we ate. We did plan to have at least one meal a day in our unit. I feel as though they put just enough in the unit to qualify. If you don’t plan on doing any cooking, the unit does have an amazing view!

Perfect Place to Stay

Our room was beautiful, well kept, clean and comfortable. We are close in walking distance to food, shops and the beach. We could sit on our balcony and watch the whales and enjoy people watching. Loved having a full kitchen. Close to washer and dryer. This place gets 5 stars!

Time in Paradise

The Whaler rm 1218 is a beautiful studio apartment that provided everything we needed to enjoy our stay. The kitchen and bathrooms were fully stocked with amenities. In addition, the provided beach chairs and umbrella were used almost every day!! The instructions provided were clear and glad they were provided. Thank you a wonderful experience.

Wow! I can’t say enough about this property. It was in a fantastic location on the quiet side of the island. The beach in front of the house was beautiful and calm which made it a great place to hang out all day. Kaibo is directly across the street. We walked over there for dinner, and chartered a private fishing trip and stingray trip. The provided kayaks and bikes provided great transportation to Starfish Point. Rum Point is also a mile down the road. If I ever visit Cayman again, I would book this place without any hesitations. 10/10!

Things that need attention

The ice maker is not working and the closest door doesn’t close. It would have been better to leave the door between the sinks and shower toilet area, or to put a pocket door in. As it stands now, if someone has to use the toilet, everyone else looses access to the sinks and closet. One other item. There are two controllers for the TV. The small one seems to control everything, I never could figure out what the big one did. If it does something a note describing how to use it would be helpful. If it doesn’t do anything, remove it.

Beware of air conditioning problem

Property was clean and inviting. -Upon arrival we noticed it was pretty hot in our unit. I emailed and called several times regarding the situation as the thermostat never got below 74. Further investigation lead to us finding our the door to the patio was too short and there was a 2-3” inch gap where hot air blew into the condo, and the wind whistled all 24/7. It could not be fixed. There was duct tape residue where it looked like someone tried to cover it up, so this was definitely a known problem beforehand. They should have put this in the listing or not advertised it as an air conditioned unit. I spent my honeymoon uncomfortable the entire stay because of this and I would have booked another unit had I known.
