Great place. Wish this was my home. Saw whales with binoculars provided by hotel (required patience!) bathtub on balcony was super nice. Comfy robes. Amazing shower

I'd say this honestly is really 4.5. We didn't quite get the original room we booked, but they did do their best. Bigger, but less of a view. Would've been something for them to communicate or offer compensation for the mistake for the price. Good thing it was a short stay. We'd consider this again.

Absolutely amazing place. The location is just far enough to be private but also close enough to many amenities. Breathtaking views off your private balcony. We unfortunately didn’t see any whales but I guess that’s a good excuse to go back!

This place is located on beautiful grounds, right up to the ocean and offers stunning photo opportunities. It about stops there for us. Didn’t eat the restaurant, so can’t speak on that. Parking lot is tiny, if you drive a bigger rig like us, you may have challenges parking. Check in was fine, given a run down of the dos and donts. Room is extremely dated, furniture is from the 90s and shows the wear. Space is generous with a separate bedroom area and a large bathroom/shower. Carpet was dirty and stained next to the bed and the bed was not comfortable- we prefer a more firm mattress and this mattress was soft as well as the pillows- but that’s all preference. They offer a “Private outdoor tub” in each of the signature suites. This bathtub is in no way shape or form private, as I was in the bathtub before 9 PM and a group of people exiting the restaurant went out for pictures and two of the males were staring directly at me in the tub. It would be nice if they offered frosted glass on the outdoor balconies for added privacy from people down below. Two of the males kept staring at me and one of them even waved at my husband when he was approached about gawking at me in the tub. Am I supposed to get in the bathtub with clothes on?? While we again, can appreciate the location- that’s about it for us. $575 for one night is a tad much for what you get. Property also needs to desperately be updated!!!! Please put some of the outrageous amounts you charge people to stay here, back into your grounds. We won’t return.

My husband and I were there celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary and was so impressed with our room, felt so welcoming with lights on and music playing. The view from our balcony was gorgeous!

For those people who like to work remotely, be warned that the WiFi system kicks your devices off the network during your stay, and you have to agree to the terms and conditions over and over. I even missed an important message since my cell phone connectivity was poor as well. Other than that, it's a great place if you are able to unplug and relax.

Rooms are gorgeous and squeeky clean. Views are incredible and the hot tub on the porches are a perfect way to end the day. Everything about the hotel is romantic and beautiful. Second time coming here. Won't be out last... Also Restaurant Beck has amazing food. Just go with the chefs tasting. It's worth every penny.

This was an amazing weekend getaway for our anniversary. The room was perfect. The staff had the champagne on ice and everything set up for our arrival. The view was stunning and we loved listening to the waves crash into the cove. My wife kept telling me this was my best anniversary gift yet. This might become our annual anniversary trip.

This is a really outstanding Inn. Truly scenic location combined with one of the finest hotel rooms around. Paired with a bit of fine dining if you don't feel like heading out for the evening makes the Whale Cove Inn a unique and memorable experience.

It's sad for me to leave this review. We have been coming here for years for our anniversary, I purposed to my wife on the beach not far from here. What once was luxurious is not falling apart. Maintenance is needed everywhere. The roof on the balcony was in bad shape before and now it was poorly replaced by what looks like a next to free handyman. The jacuzzi tub is missing grout on the tiling and has some of the worse caulking I have seen. The exterior hotel tiling is falling off and has been for years, we hoped this would be fixed by now but even the front entrance of the motel stucko is falling off from water damage. The lounge has big windows for the beautiful view and now have towels trying to hold back the leaking water. It wasn't even raining they were leaking from the ocean mist. The desk clerk..well I sire miss the older guy who was here a year ago and the year before, he was classy and now the girl currently in that position greets you with a Hoodie on! Really! The room was decently clean like normal except for the toilet seat once lifted had the past guests poop squirts on the under side...nasty. Now for restaurant beck. Two years ago we were blown away with the food, service, flavors, pairing of wine and the knowledge of the wine they paired for you. Now I believe the chef must have a French background being there isn't much flavor the the food. We had the chef taster menu with the wine pairing. 150 per person. Very disappointed. Flavorless food with no seasoning at all. The wine was ok but the waitress just sets them down and say here's your penot...that is it. Two years ago a fantastic staff would diatribe all the notes of flavor in the wine along with who made it and there history. Basically all in all this motel has went down hill. Sad to see. I think this is our last time after making it our tradition bit for the money, it just isn't worth it anymore.

Just a heads up to travelers they close at 7 pm after that you cannot get a room.

I stayed there for my honeymoon long before it became this luxury boutique hotel. I'm very sad to see the history, nostalgia (& affordability) of the original Whale Cove Inn totally erased.
Update: I found it very interesting the response from the owner rudely assumed I had in no way experienced the establishment. I am curious where you got your information? How else would I know anything about the changes at the establishment? Sadly you have given even more truth to the validity of the review.
Best wishes with that kind of attitude.

Words won't do this place justice. The bed was heaven. The view was gorgeous. I recommend staying two nights or more to really experience this place.

Had a beautiful 11 year anniversary night and dinner here. The view is magical! Loved everything about the room and the tub on the deck was so fun to soak in taking in the view. The dinner was lovely and our server was great! Highly reccomend and can not wait to return.
