The room was nice and clean, and staff very friendly. Sauna and indoor pool were great options on the one day it rained. It's a timeshare so you can even buy a unit there at very reasonable price if want, just ask the management or check their website. Lots of great seafood restaurants and museums nearby as well, and s... More

The hotel/condo complex is definately stuck in the the 80s but it is on the beach. There is a nice grass area before you hit the sand. The indoor pool and jacuzzi were nice when it was rainning and too cold for the beach. There is a small game room for the kids but some of the games were not... More

Its always clean and the beach is fabulous. Since my children and grandchildren have started going, we trade my parents small water... More

This is a true oceanfront resort. The units are spacious, with 2 bathrooms in the 1BR unit. The kitchen is fully equipped, and a washer/dryer is included in each unit. Because of its small size, it's more like visiting the family beach house, and many come at the same time each year. This is a timeshare resort, so there is... More

I had heard that the rooms smelled musty and that was true. I did not however, expect it to be long. When you walk in it is into the bedroom with the two beds and a dividing curtain. Then it narrows down to a hallway past two full baths and then back out into a kitchen and living room with... More

The Crystal Coast is an awesome family place and the beaches are beautiful, however Whaler really needs to update the furnishings, appliances and beach access. We had a great time but sleep was difficult with the outdated AC units and noisy carts rolling by in the early morning. Our dishwasher was falling out of the cabinet and there had clearly... More

The hotel is definitely not upscale, but is a good value in the off season. They are apparently in the process of refurnishing the rooms, so the livingroom/dining sets were all nice. The room was clean, the heat/ac worked fine. It came with a full kitchen, two baths, and a small washer and dryer. They had an indoor pool-hot tub... More

Accommodating service, great beach access, but the physical building and furnishings are showing wear, so much so, that a 3 rating. An early spring visit with below average temps, difficult keeping the room warm. More
