I researched for months worried I wouldn't get what I wanted in a honeymoon condo.We settled on whalers cove #233. It was everything we wanted and more. Beautiful, new, luxury kitchen and bathrooms. Furniture and decor all high quality and fitting in with the Kauai and ocean theme. It is as if the owners and management have thought of everything... More

Prior to our first trip to Hawaii, I researched online for available housing near the beach and came across the stellar reviews for this property. They are well-deserved. Marianne was a gem to deal with and she booked us in unit #210, a two-BR end unit. She let us borrow beach mats and chairs to take to the very close... More

Had a really nice 4 night getaway at my favorite spot in Poipu! We enjoyed a newly refurbuished unit #120. We had never stayed on that side of the complex before and it was really nice! Very quiet and private..something to be said about an end unit- we heard nothing but ocean and palm trees. The service at Whaler's is... More

We had a wonderful stay in condo #125. It was clean, beautifully decorated, and very comfortable. The condo was in a perfect location for snorkeling, and had easy access to the beach and restaurants. I highly recommend Whalers Cove!

We spent a week in condo #125 at Whalers Cove late March. It was perfect for my husband, myself and our teenage daughters. Recently renovated, everything was new, beautiful and in perfect working order. The condo is huge, so there was lots of room to spread out. We loved sitting on the lanai and watching outrigger canoe races, dolphins and... More

It's okay but not as great as the reviews suggest. Most exasperating is lobby opening timings and even though they write in the information booklet you receive upon arrival that you can call after hours - no one picks up the phones - either land or mobile. However, we did see humpbacks breaching from our balcony - so that made... More

Great whale watching from the lanai -- dolphins and turtles too. Condo is clean and comfortable spot, upper floors have great views and are secluded compared to a big hotel. Boogie boarding and snorkeling close by at beaches down the street.

My husband and I stayed in 135. The middle condo/suite in this resort. The furnishings were exquisite and cozy. A killer view. Very Quiet (except for the waves crashing on the rocks). I have a hard time sleeping in hotels because of the noise. I had no problem in this suite/condo. I recommend this codo/suite for anyone who would like... More

Stayed here with a large group of my extended family split into several condos over Christmas. Beautiful views. Spacious condos. Comfortable. Nice to have full sized kitchen. Pool area clean and well maintained. Close walk (15 mins) to stores and the beach.

What a great place for relaxing. We were in unit 131 and loved it. The view from the lanai was amazing and we saw whales passing many times. The unit has everything you can possibly need, very well equipped. They are serviced daily and are extremely clean. The bed was very comfortable. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The...
