Palapala Hoomau Church Tours and Activities

The room was a little dated and we had a cockroach visit us. MKV is a premiere resort so it was a bit disappointing that the room was so dated. The staff at MKV are amazing and friendly. Castaways is a great place to eat and have cocktails when at the pool or beach!

There is no air conditioning. We were on the top floor. Did not like the check in process, seeing how most people arrive to Hawaii on later afternoon flights and so the office was closed. The area its located in is busy and noisy. No beach access and pool is tiny.

Recently retired couple just returned from 9 days at Aston at The Whaler in mid February. Loved it. We had a one bedroom studio which was nice as we made breakfast and a couple of dinners at the unit. BBQ units at both buildings are new and really nice. We booked through Expedia and recd a recently upgraded unit and it was really nice. Property is exceptionally well maintained and staff were really nice and helpful top to bottom. Free laundry on each floor which we used one time during our stay. Location on Kaanapali beach right next to Whalers Village is perfect - tons of dining and cocktail options and many shops if you go to Hawaii and forget to pack a bathing suit (I’ll be hearing about that forever, oops). Underground parking is really handy and overflow parking is avail right next door if underground gets full - didn’t happen to us but got close a couple times. We really liked the Whaler and plan to book it again next year at same time. Whole activity is awesome at that time. We go everywhere in the Caribbean but Hawaii is a notch above Carib in our opinion. Looong flight from East Coast US but worth the effort.
