Whalers cove is a amazing property, the view was stunning and my 84 year old father enjoyed the binoculars provided, he was able to see the turtles in the water from our balcony..The kitchen was stocked with everything you could possibly need. The beds were comfortably, the people were amazing at the front desk and being able to borrow snorkle and boggie boards made my boys very happy...Highly recommend this place it a 10+++🐢🐢🐬🐬

The staff was great, and despite the large number of chickens on the island, this area was largely chicken free, so no rooster wakeup calls.
The resort absolutely wonderful, friendly staff. My only issue was no air conditioning, and I know it's authentic and trade winds; however it was hot and hard to get a breeze through our condo, a little relief would have been great. Our lanai and the roominess of our room couldn't ask for better, the pool was also exceptional. It would have also been nice not to have carpet; it did not look clean. But it is what it is. perfect location to go either direction also loved the safety we felt there. And no roosters or chickens that we saw on the property.

Enjoyed watching the waves break on the rocky shore outside our window. We also saw sea turtles and seals swimming in the surf from our balcony. THe proximity of some beatiful beaches was also a plus.

This was the best trip ever! Not only did we get the best room in the best condo but it was so close to everything. Everyone was so friendly. One of the nicest things was the shopping center that was within walking distance. You have a choice of restaurants and many shops to go purchasing. Already planning our next trip.

An Unforgettable, Magical Stay in Paradise.
This was, without a doubt, the best place I've ever stayed in Hawaii. From the moment we arrived, everything was perfect, but the true star of the show is The View. It is simply gorgeous—the definition of paradise.
Waking up to the fresh ocean breeze and falling asleep to the soothing sound of the waves was instantly relaxing. The absolute highlight, however, was seeing bioluminescence every single night right from our balcony! That unique, unforgettable spectacle made the stay truly magical.
Beyond the stunning location, the service elevated our entire trip. Every staff member we encountered was excellent—hospitable, professional, and genuinely helpful. A massive thank you to Marianne, Ivan, Benny, Alexis, and the wonderful pool attendant (sorry, I forgot his name) for making us feel so welcomed and cared for.
We loved our stay so much and would be happy to come back again and again.

The most beautiful property in Koloa. Very quiet except for the sound of the crashing waves. You can see dolphins, turtles and whales from your lanai. The staff is very friendly and helpful. I’ve stayed here 3 times and have called this place my home in Kauai. It’s truly magical!
