We loved this unit in Tower 2 south facing. It was very clean. This unit is decorated perfectly as it is not overly decorated absolutely perfect. We will definitely book another stay.

Everything was perfection. There was even a bag of coffee for the stay. This unit is very quiet, but steps away from no charge laundry. In all, we couldn’t ask for anymore.

Great location and view. Can’t beat the Whaler location, the noise from Whalers village below was a distraction when sitting on the balcony - but the ocean views made up for it!

Jason D.6.0/10

For us, the studio had some shortcomings for the price paid. The view of the ocean is good, and you can hear the surf, but the room’s location was noisy at times. A/C units on the adjacent building, delivery trucks beeping in the early morning and construction work on the 11th floor.

The suite was very clean and cozy with a beautiful view of the ocean. We highly recommend and would stay there again.

I love staying at the Whaler and this is by far my favorite studio. It’s not overly crowded with furniture and everything is nicely spaced. I like being on the side facing the Whaler’s Village as well because you can hear the live music and smell all the good smells. Will definitely be back.

This property was even better in person. The location couldn’t have been better, and the views were spectacular. Would definitely stay here again and recommend anyone else to do so as well!

We loved our stay here! The facilities are clean and beautiful. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. The location cannot be beat.

The property was well appointed, clean and ideally located for the relaxing vacation we needed. Spent a lot of time on the Lanai and on the beach sitting in the property provided beach chairs. An earlier reviewer mentioned the noise from the Hula Grill and MonkeyPod restaurants below but it wasn’t that bad from our perspective and the views outweighed any background noise. Would rent the same unit again.
