We are about a mile from the famous Poipu Beach Park with ample parking, showers and lifeguards. Baby Beach is a very small beach just a short walking distance from the resort.

We don’t allow any glassware leading up to and in the pool area. Each condo has a large selection of plastic items. Children under the age of 12 are not allowed in the heated spa. Floatation devices are not allowed. The entire pool area is non-smoking.

Since we are located on the ocean, we have beautiful trade breezes. In addition, each condo has ceiling fans in all rooms and the front desk has additional portable floor fans, if needed. As a result, we do not have air conditioning.

We recommend that you rent a car during your stay because the island is rural and the bus system is sparse. We have a discount program with AVIS for each booking. The island of Kauai also offers taxi service.

For bookings made directly through the front desk, we have an assortment of items for the beach including chairs, coolers, umbrellas and some snorkel gear. We even have boogie boards.

Whalers Cove fronts a beautiful natural coastline with reefs, which makes for great snorkeling experiences. To help preserve our beautiful reefs, it is highly suggested to use reef-safe sunscreen.

Avoid using sunscreens that contain mineral oil, titanium dioxide, oxybenzone, and octinoxate, as these are not biodegradable and harmful to sea life.

Here is a list of reef-safe sunscreens available at retailers:

• Kokua Sun Care Hawaiian SPF 50 Natural Zinc Sunscreen
• Mama Kuleana Waterproof SPF 30 Reef-safe Sunscreen
• Little Hands Hawaii SPF 35+ All-natural and Organic Sunscreen

Usually, the days start and end early at Whalers Cove Resort. There are many outdoor activities like water sports, cruises, hiking, ATV, horseback and ziplining, so most of the action takes place while the sun is up. You will find a few live music options at Kukuiula and Poipu Shopping Villages as well as Friday nights in Hanapape during the Art Walk.

We do offer portable futons with advance requests.

No. Our condos are individually owned so you do not have to sit through long or boring presentations.

Yes, a nightly resort fee of $15 is applied to all bookings and includes WiFi, newspapers and coffee service in the lobby as well as on-site parking.
