  Location..cleanliness..friendly staff.....great views (although some rooms may not be as good). Variety of unit configurations to choose from. Images in my review are for a unit with separated BR from the living area (kitchen..dining..living room). Beautiful balcony. Small pool..fine for cooling off but not like the larger resorts. Older clientele....kids here but the pool area is more laid back ( ie..no cannonballs off the deck). Friendly staff...and they are always cleaning and on top of it.

  We booked our stay at The Whaler through Costco. The units they offer are managed by Aston. We booked a Premium Ocean View Studio and receive unit 915 in Tower 1. The unit was pretty well appointed but the owners must be quite tall. The toilet is really high and my feet dangled several inches off the floor while using it. The jetted tub was hard to get into and the bed was rather high too. If you are petite like me and get this unit, you will have to contact Aston to get a change, the front desk can't help you. Maybe we should have done that, but we arrived after Aston was closed for they day and once unpacked we didn't want to move the next day. Our unit did not have many electrical outlets and no USB ports. Luckily we brought along an extension cord and USB power adapters. The unit was equipped with standard plates, glasses, utensils, blender, toaster, coffee maker, stove, microwave, refrigerator with ice dispenser, and dishwasher. Kleenex, paper towels, dish soap, dishwasher soap, one package of laundry soap and plenty of bathroom towels. The grounds are well maintained, gardeners were trimming and sweeping most of the day. The lobby has hot coffee urns in the morning and delicious pineapple iced tea in the afternoons. The location is fantastic, steps away from the beach, next door to Whalers Village for shopping, right along the beach walk. We didn't use the pool but sat by it once chairs became available in the late afternoon (there were lots of chairs but even more chair hogs.) My husband did use the hot tub and reported it was quite hot. The pool area has coffee in the mornings and iced tea in the afternoons. I used the fitness center a couple of times. There were dumbbells of many weights and other great strength training equipment. There were also treadmills, ellipticals, and exercise bicycles. Water and towels were provided. Overall, we feel we made a great choice in booking The Whaler.

  Couldn't ask for a better location. Right on the beach and walking distance to many restaurants and shops

  First of all, it’s not a typical hotel, it feels like you are renting an apartment, which is great. You have a kitchen and can cook. It’s a big plus. But, let’s talk about negative things: first thing first: THE SHOWER SETUP! Idk who came up with the design but it’s so extremely stupid, be ready to always have water on the floor and use extra towels to take care of it. NOTE FOR THE HOTEL ADMINISTRATION: guys, add a door to the shower please! It’s insane. The most stupid shower design I’ve even seen in my life. Secondary: the furniture setup. My husband broke his pinky toe just walking barefoot through the room. Make sure you move the furniture away from the walkway to the balcony. But the view is amazing for sure.
