Everything was superb - great location for restaurants, shopping, whale watching, beach walking. The room was lovely - nice balcony view of the ocean, clean and well stocked. The only thing that disturbed us was the air conditioner that ran all the time on the property next door.

Nice view and property. Pool is very small and crowded for the size of the complex. They did not have a record at the gate or the front desk of my prepaid reservation so check in was not easy. WiFi did not work during my entire stay. I asked management company Sullivan and the front desk for help. I needed to do some work while I was there and needed WiFi so that was important to me. Sullivan didn’t help at all but the front desk sent someone up. They tried but couldn’t fix it.

The room was dirty and dingy. Size of bed was not accurate. Dishes and pots and pans were too dirty to use which defeated the purpose of having kitchen space. No beach accessories provided in room (chairs, boards, umbrellas, etc.). Additionally the water pressure was awful and were very slow to drain. Had to take short showers otherwise the water started collecting and rising at the bottom of the tub

The rental was clean and well appointed. The Whaler is perfectly situated with a beautiful beach and next door to shops and dining. We last stayed here about 10 years ago and we were pleasantly surprised with the many updates to the property. Definitely 5 stars!!!

We were very pleased with our rental. We are long time guest of the whaler and have experienced several rentals. Upon arrival our condo was immaculately clean. It had a beautiful view on both mountain and ocean sides. Bed was comfortable as was the pullout couch. All and all it was a great unit.

I have stayed in other units at the Whaler and the rooms may have been a tad dated but they were clean. This room was not cleaned properly, mold was around the rim of the toilet, around the overflow in the bathtub, and around the ceiling in the bathroom. I personally will not rent from this company again.

The whaler is a very intriguing hotel. It has all the big ticket items you’d want: overlooking the ocean, a wonderful pool, access to laundry, and is a conveniently short walk from anything you’d want. However, it’s the little things that arise once you get there. For starters when we arrived and approached the front desk to check in we were greeted by an unfriendly receptionist who could not find our reservation. Although we booked and paid for our honeymoon vacation over four months ago, they could not find us in their system and even asked if we were sure we were at the right hotel. He begrudgingly took our IDs and continued to look through the system until he found it. We just got off the plane and had to wait for half an hour while this man was rudely welcoming us. Once he finally found it, he didn’t even offer an apology. Once we got to the room we found it in need of a sweeping, as well as for the counters to be wiped down. My husband did the cleaning while I unpacked and despite the minor dirtiness we both really did enjoy the room. It had a wonderful view, and plenty of space. But it was clear this room hadn’t been renovated in quite some time as the television was far too old and the Wi-Fi continued to break out. The rest of our stay at the Whaler really was wonderful though, as the amenities were perfect for us, the hotel was right on the beach, and the rest of our interactions with staff were very pleasant. Nate in particular was especially friendly, it’s a shame that our first impression was so poor from Ron’s lack of customer service skills.
