A Gem in Kaanapali

The room was fantastic; everything from the extra towels & toiletries, to the sheet on the dresser covering Susan's favorite restaurant, to the view of the ocean was excellent. The condo itself was very spacious ? it did not have the cramped feel of a typical studio; it was actually bigger than some 1-br condos we have seen in our travels. Also the unit is ridiculously cheap for the amenities it had ? it even had free hi-speed internet via Ethernet; we have only ever had that at +4-star resorts, and usually for a fee.

The condo complex is definitely dated and in need of the upgrades that are happening now; however it did not feel as sterile as some of the other hotels we have stayed at in the past. The service staff was friendly and helpful in general ? as long as you are not too pushy. You are also not affected by the construction as it is on the other side of the building from our balcony, which overlooks Whalers Village and the beach. All in all a great experience, and we highly recommend RM 661 at the Whaler Resort.
