From the reviews

We loved Whalers Cove. From the moment we arrived at Whalers Cove we felt right at home. Our accommodations where amazing, one of the best I have stayed at. The staff through out the property where friendly, helpful and professional. The welcoming basket and birthday wishes card gave it a special touch.

Whaler's Cove is a perfect getaway for anyone that wants to unplug, listen to the ocean 24/7, and enjoy the comforts of home away from home. We are small business owners, and we enjoy the quiet of the condo, the pool, the lanai, etc.

This was our third time staying at Whalers Cove. It’s absolutely our favorite place in Kauai to stay. We’ve been traveling here for years and enjoy every time we e stayed here. Our most recent trip was this week and we stayed in room 232 on the top floor with an amazing view. People are amazing and so helpful.

★★★★★ — Sharyn, Nov 2025

Unit 132. A wonderful stay at Whalers Cove, and once again we're already talking about when we're going back. This was our 4th stay at Whalers Cove, and we've stayed in four different units. We keep returning because the experience is consistently exceptional.

Getting married at Whalers Cove Resort

Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see the ceremony spot at the exact time of day you'd say your vows — a west-facing beach glows at sunset but bakes at noon, and you'll want to feel the wind, watch where the sun sits, and walk the path your guests take across the sand. Second, bring your real questions: the weather backup (where does the ceremony move if it rains or the wind kicks up?), who pulls the beach permit, the sound-ordinance curfew, the catering and bar policy, and exactly what's included — chairs, setup, and teardown on sand are where quotes quietly diverge. Peak beach dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
