Pukalani Holidays from AU$3,081

It’s close to the big resorts where you can get into the action if you want it. While this place is safe and chill without the dazzle.

This property is part of a timeshare group. I wasn’t aware of that until after I booked it. Our flight was delayed so we got in after hours. It was difficult locating someone to obtain our key. A lock box of some sort may have been a great idea for after hours check in. Also, our room was never cleaned. I’m guessing that’s something we were supposed to request. We just decided to keep it near ourselves. Also, we were invited to listen to a sales pitch regarding the property, however AFTER we got up early to attend the meeting, we were told that we didn’t pay enough for the room to be eligible to sit through the sale meeting. Also, the fire alarm went off during our stay. The fire dept didn’t dispatch. That was concerning. The on-site security checked the alarm and declared it was safe to return to our rooms. It was anxiety inducing to say the least. The area is quiet and safe.

We loved the room we stayed in. The first few nights there wasn’t a lot of other guests so we were able to enjoy every bit that Aston Villas offers. The pool area was clean and the security did a great job keeping the noisy kids playing with balls at bay. We would stay here again!

Stay was great. But we were just surprised by the daily amenity fees that was not disclosed when we checked in. Aside from that the experience was really great and still recommend this hotel.

We loved our time at the Whaler however our room needed an upgrade as it looked like it was from the 80’s. Everything else perfect. Staff wonderful!!
