The Whaler on Kaanapali Beach Unveils a Fresh New Look

HONOLULU, HI (June 18, 2009) – Long considered one of Maui’s premier, luxury condominium resorts, The Whaler on Kaanapali Beach re-launches with a fresh, new look and special limited-time room rates to celebrate the completion of 18 months of construction. Aston Hotels & Resorts invites you to be one of the first to rediscover The Whaler on Kaanapali Beach with a Summer Preview Rate starting from $259 for a Studio Garden View.

 

“The Whaler is a renowned condominium resort on the best stretch of Kaanapali Beach, so the vision was to elevate the guest experience by creating a warm and relaxing, yet decidedly upscale, ambiance throughout the property. We wanted this to be evident from the moment of arrival,” said Kelvin Bloom, president, Aston Hotels & Resorts. “The new palm-lined entrance, augmented porte cochere and the addition of a three-tiered fountain in the lobby will be the first improvements guests notice upon arrival.”

 

The Whaler overlooks a garden courtyard which also underwent a dramatic makeover and now features a soothing new waterfall and koi pond. Lush, new landscaping includes an array of tropical flora such as taro, red and pink ginger, fragrant plumeria trees and wider pathways that transform the courtyard into an ideal destination for reflection or a romantic stroll. 

 

The oceanfront pool deck was refreshed with new pavers and the jet spa was enlarged to better accommodate guests. Lastly, new lounge furniture and poolside cabanas were added for guests to comfortably lounge by the pool while gazing out over the ocean.

 

The Whaler on Kaanapali Beach’s Preview Rate is valid for travel July 1, 2009 through

Aug. 23, 2009. The Preview Rate may not be combined with other programs, specials or discounts. Prices do not include tax and are subject to change without notice. Blackout dates and some restrictions may apply. Visit AstonHotels.com for more information.
