Unbelievable views! Our room was a little long in the tooth but my parents room was nice! These are all independently owned so you never really know what you’re going to get. Even though ours was older, it absolutely was clean! The majority of the staff here are outstanding as well! Easy walk to restaurants and shops at Whalers Village. Will definitely be back!

The Murphy bed was very comfortable. The room spacious and clean. Beautiful view of the beach from the lanai, which also overlooked a beautiful Koi fish pond. I loved that the sun was not directly on the lanai. At least during October..Would love to stay in the same unit.

We had internet password but had no idea what the server was. No internet for two days. The location which originally I thought was not what I wanted. Overlooking whalers village, turned out to be the best. Ice maker never worked, we bought ice. Problem solved. The employees were great, so helpful. Kind of a pain to have to call Ashton for ever. Great week.

I like how the property is small but immaculate. Definitely get a room that faces inward and not overlooking Whaler’s Village. Pool area could be larger, and the hot tub temperature could be much lower. Although I asked them to lower the temperature of the hot tub and many other people complained about the scalding hot temperature, it was never resolved. As a person who likes to enjoy the hot tub for a little bit each night, this was a huge disappointment.

My husband and I really enjoyed our stay here at the Whaler. It was very quiet and I noticed an older demographic seemed to be the majority of guests. I didn’t see too many young families. But I’m sure young families would do great at this hotel too. The pool looked just average which didn’t matter for us since we didn’t use it. So that might be why it doesn’t draw a lot of young families. It’s perfectly located between a bunch of other hotels and a very easy walk to the shops. Easy walk out to the beach too. We also liked the gym in the lower level. Pretty decent with a few cardio machines and weights/benches. It got the job done. Our room was very comfortable and was nice to come home to each day after being out playing all day. I really liked this hotel and would stay here again.
