Wailea-Makena Adults Only Vacations

The hotel smells amazing! The location is beautiful and right on the beach. The staff is always so kind! Gretchen and Jacob were especially knowledgeable and helpful.

We stayed 10 nights at the Whaler, we had a studio with ocean view and a kitchen. The hotel was very nice, the bed was really comfortable. The staff was very nice and really responsive.

The property is beautiful and well maintained. The location is great with lots of activities around. However we were not impressed with the quality of service we received. House keeping never showed up for room cleaning unless we called to ask for service. There was only one restaurant we enjoyed the food at and that was Banyan. The lobby bar was ok but we didn’t really like the sushi , was not as fresh as expected. The front desk rarely had more than one person working so there was always a line for any inquiries and needs we had. Overall I wouldn’t stay again.

Aged property…not the best value. Booked two rooms, one had a broken toilet that wouldn’t fill. Not fixed during stay..couldn’t get rooms on the same floor.

Gorgeous property with plenty of amenities.

Design wise was little 2012…remodel was 2014-2015. outdated tv etc Partial ocean view interior differes BIG time vs “Celebration” ( website pics 2023)! Room is big, layout is odd: SHOWER is IN YOUR WALK IN WARDROBE!!! LOL ( unworn ruined silk clothes on day two) uncomfy bed. Service was inconsistent (from great to mediocre, depended on the person) big tips didn’t help. heavy on honeymooners, no cool vibe in the hotel, introverts. PROS: open air gym, sunset views, pancakes, birds and mini jungle feel. cons: concierge/front desk was dial broken. everything is an add on, u r cool if u want to $$$. newer cars (Mercedes and Range Rover were not available Lol), restaurant room service was OK and 90 min wait. Unfortunately hotel didn’t do it for me in 2025

This resort was absolutely a dream! We wanted a place to relax & be right near the beach but close to town and they absolutely killed it. It wasn’t too touristy or overcrowded. It had plenty of space all over the resort including the beach where we didn’t feel neck to neck on top of people. They made renting umbrellas for the week easy where we didn’t have to carry them or anything. Staff were always friendly and helpful. I highly recommend staying here! The pictures don’t do the justice! The view is absolutely amazing! We even got a massage by TeTe & Kim there on the resort and it beat my expectations by far! Highly recommended & will be back!

The view was amazing!
