Whalers cove is a amazing property, the view was stunning and my 84 year old father enjoyed the binoculars provided, he was able to see the turtles in the water from our balcony..The kitchen was stocked with everything you could possibly need. The beds were comfortably, the people were amazing at the front desk and being able to borrow snorkle and boggie boards made my boys very happy...Highly recommend this place it a 10+++🐢🐢🐬🐬

This was the best trip ever! Not only did we get the best room in the best condo but it was so close to everything. Everyone was so friendly. One of the nicest things was the shopping center that was within walking distance. You have a choice of restaurants and many shops to go purchasing. Already planning our next trip.

The resort absolutely wonderful, friendly staff. My only issue was no air conditioning, and I know it's authentic and trade winds; however it was hot and hard to get a breeze through our condo, a little relief would have been great. Our lanai and the roominess of our room couldn't ask for better, the pool was also exceptional. It would have also been nice not to have carpet; it did not look clean. But it is what it is. perfect location to go either direction also loved the safety we felt there. And no roosters or chickens that we saw on the property.
