My stay at the resort was mixed. The apartment was equipped with a full kitchen and laundry, which was fantastic, but I struggled with a moth infestation in the bathroom that made my experience less enjoyable. Even though the pool was huge and well-maintained, I couldn't overlook the cleanliness issues in my room. However, the friendly reception staff made my check-in experience smooth.

Our stay at Whalecove was a wonderful experience. The apartment we had was spacious and well-equipped for our family, plus the pool was a delightful retreat after our daily adventures. The location felt peaceful yet was conveniently close to whale watching tours and dining options. While everything was quite affordable for our family vacation, just a heads up, the bath area was a tad slippery.

I had a lovely stay at the resort! The apartment I stayed in was beautifully decorated and really well-kept. The pool view was a nice bonus, but I did find the Wi-Fi setup a bit inconvenient since each unit had its own and there wasn't a general Wi-Fi around the complex. Overall, the location was quite good, being close to the marina and a grocery store, making it convenient for daily needs.

We had a mixed experience at the hotel. The room was generally clean and spacious, and the pool area was inviting. However, the cleanliness needed some attention, especially with a few maintenance issues. The location was convenient with a nice short walk to the beach, but our stay was hampered by a cold spa and some minor cleanliness concerns.

I had a wonderful stay at this resort. The location is perfect, just a short walk from the beach and other attractions. The rooms were spotless and comfortable with great amenities. However, I did find the glass tables to be a bit worrisome with a young child around. Overall, it's fantastic value for money and I would definitely stay again.
