Luxurious Whaler Studio

6/10: Has potential. If the unit and bed linens were clean, I would have rated this place an 8/10. Con’s: Check-in was at 3pm. We had to wait until after 4 because the room wasn’t ready. Came back after 4 and got the package envelope, went up to the room, and the room keys weren’t in the envelope, just beach towel keys. Had to go back down for room keys. The room was dirty. The toilet and tub had leftover “dirt” and hair from the previous guests. Fortunately I brought Clorox wipes and there was some Ajax under the sink. The bed linens were filthy with dirt & food stains. The middle tan blanket also had ketchup or blood on it. The sheets caused us to itch but we couldn’t sleep on top of them bc the blankets again were filthy. For the cleaning fee charged I would expect the room to be clean for my arrival. The sleeping area room was outdated and the walls were dirty with spills from prior guests. The room had a bad odor. There was a note written on a napkin saying sometimes there are odors from the restaurants next door. The fridge had opened shared condiments. If you’re ok with trusting the sanitation of prior guests and using open lid condiments, there are quite a few options. Pros: This condo is in the perfect location. It is right beside the Whaler food court/shopping. A few minute walk to other resorts for dining options, a luau, and calmer waters. Partial ocean view, close to the free laundry room and elevators.

The location of the Whaler cannot be beat. The beaches in front of the property are awesome for snorkeling. There are excellent restaurants within walking distance eliminating the need to drive. The sunset sailboats pick you up right in front of the property as well. The unit itself had everything you need to enjoy your stay. Beach chairs, snorkeling gear, cooler, and an umbrella. This is the first time I stayed in this unit but the third time I have stayed at the whaler. Great unit and property.

It was a very nice unit. We would stay there again. The refrigerator didn’t get very cold so our water and soda wasn’t very cold. The only other downside was there was only one boogie board and it was cracked. Other than that it had everything we needed for a wonderful vacation.

A must stay! Beautiful condo that is stocked with everything you could possibly need!! The Whaler is beautiful and staff are very friendly and helpful. They helped us book a dinner cruise that was spectacular!! The location is amazing. Dinner, shopping and the beach right out the door of the hotel. Amazing time !! Loved every minute of our trip!

Nice spot, a few things less than ideal Location is great, easy access to the beach. The brita filter in the fridge was moldy and hadn't been cleaned recently. We drank the water and that was not a pleasant experience.Flushing the toilet was a bit weird as well.

Perfect Get Away Great little place to stay. Location is a 10, the process to book was easy, unit was clean, kitchen was stocked with dishes etc, shower had good water pressure/hot water, bed was very comfortable, everything you need is right there, beach chairs, snorkeling gear etc. Complimentary laundry just outside the entryway. Looking forward to coming back - Thank you for a great stay!
