Delicious Dining Options

“During my stay at the Blue Whale Resort, I was pleasantly surprised by the dining options available. The breakfast featured a good mix of local and Western cuisine, including a fantastic omelette station. One meal that stood out was the pork curry and calamares, which were particularly delicious. Even though we visited during the off-season and faced some limitations in menu options, I never felt dissatisfied with the quality or quantity of the meals. The dining experience certainly added to the overall enjoyment of my trip.” view full review

Spacious and Comfortable Chalets

“I was fortunate to stay in a superior double chalet which offered spacious and comfortable accommodations. The innovative design of the room made it a perfect retreat during our visit. The air conditioning worked excellently, providing a cool escape from the warm weather. I truly appreciated the fact that the rooms were well-appointed, making my stay not only comfortable but also enjoyable.” view full review

Unique Outdoor Bathroom Experience

“One of the most nice features of my stay was the bathroom setup in my cabana. It was designed to be partly outdoors, which made for a unique and refreshing shower experience. It allowed me to connect with nature while maintaining the comfort of a hotel stay, adding a fun twist to my bathroom routine. It's not something you encounter every day, and I found it quite charming!” view full review

Relaxing Pool Area

“The pool area at Blue Whale Resort was a highlight of my experience. It was beautifully maintained, and the outdoor ambiance created a calming atmosphere that was perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring. I enjoyed some peaceful time by the pool, taking in the serene surroundings and soaking up the sun. The two shallow ends and the deep end made it accessible for everyone, making it a great space for both relaxation and recreation.” view full review
