A week in Whalers Cove tops a month at many other vacation locations! From checkin to checkout the staff was friendly, responsive, and knowledgeable about the property and the community. Alexsis and Aileen (reception desk) were our go-to persons for all our needs on site and info about the island. Marianne (manager) was on top of all the activities and interests of the guests staying on site. At sunset the south lawn was a gathering place for folks to watch the sun go down and share conversations about their experiences. It was a great opportunity to meet and share stories with fellow travelers. On 2 evenings we got the bonus of whales breaching off shore while the sun set. A daily walk to the end of the parking lot saw turtles in the adjacent inlet. Suite 210 is ground level with a lanai that has a view of the hot tub, pool, and ocean beyond. Actually the view through the sliding doors was just as magnificent without stepping outside. So every meal on site came with a view whether we ate at the table inside or on the lanai outside. This suite has apparently recently had upgrades such as the living areas (large screen tvs in the living room and both bedrooms) came with cable and internet service, the kitchen ( new cabinetry and the cabinets were loaded with dishes, appliances, pots, pans, etc to make meals in-house and save on restaurant excursions), and the bathrooms. The suite walls have interesting photos by the owner as well as artwork by local artists to give a tropical vibe to the unit. You will have a true tropical experience in Whalers Cove!
