    Suite overlooking cove
    Megs S.

    Location gets a 5 star from me- I THOROUGHLY enjoyed the tranquil view and sounds of the ocean from our suite. The weather was a chilly winter 40, so the thought of using the on-deck jacuzzi was out lol but oh the luxury. Instead we had fun with the en-suite, 5 spout shower! The room was plush with some thoughtful touches such as binoculars, bath salts and large floor to ceiling windows to really enjoy the scenery. It Felt very secluded and was a wonderful getaway. We reserved the 3 bedroom suite but because it was only two of us, they locked the other 2 rooms, which I thought was odd. I mean, we paid for it. Felt like we were the only patrons of the hotel until dinner. Restaurant Beck was open for indoor dining and what a treat. Simple menu, simple farm to table and very good food.

    If you can, you should.

    We first stayed here back in 2009, that day was a drive by vacancy sighting on a busy weekend and thought we'd see what this place was all about and learn why there was a vacancy, well it is expensive for the Oregon Coast so guessing people kept looking for a deal. We toured a room and the hook was set. Well, after sticker shock and a few hundreds of dollars, we had a fantastic weekend Inn experience and a meal that was amazing. We were blown away how a 6 room Inn could be so satisfying. Since that stay, we've stayed here many times including an event where we rented all the rooms for a weekend, it has always felt like family even if they don't remember us. Service and attention to detail are simply second to none at our coast. Reservations: Easy and super nice to communicate our concerns with covid. Not sure it is kid or pet friendly, best to check first. I don't think they offer deals or specials, but I am sure you can find out online. Location: It really does not get much better than this. No beach access but it is close if you want to get all sandy. Rooms: Pretty amazing but showing some signs of wear since our first stay 12 years ago. They have been well kept and were quality to begin with so wearing pretty well. Our sliding glass door and screen needed some help but no big deal. Seldom do you see another guest, very quiet except for the ocean waves. Views: You'll see. Pour a cocktail and get in the warm bathtub on your deck overlooking the Whale Cove. Yes, bathtub with jets of course. Food: well covid has temporally closed breakfast but they credited us, not their fault and many options all around. We brought our yeti so we were all good for breakfast. Restaurant Beck: Not connected ownership to the Inn. Make a reservation but please dine here. Last night we had another incredible dinner, not easy to pull off at the coast during covid. Wait staff was awesome, we were alone for most of our meal, she was very knowledgeable and entertaining. Value: hard to say this is a value unless you are looking to fill up your life experiences bucket. If you are fortunate enough to save up some dollars or able to justify a stay here, you should. We love it here, we relax, unwind, and tune out the negative. Whale Cove Inn and Restaurant Beck, it is like the perfect combination. Thank you Vikki, you've built a great Inn and we know it has not always been easy.

    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.

    The Beck Restaurant's Tasting Menu and Wine Pairing is a special experience, albeit a bit expensive. Our family really enjoyed the experience and the ambiance of the ocean view.

    PROS: 1. BEST ocean view: waves crashing on huge rocks, sandy beach, forest trees, landscaped setting, even lovely birdsong to go along with the calming ocean sound 2. Spacious suite, large deck, large bathroom. 3. Jetted tub on the deck to enjoy the sunset, drink wine, watch the clouds and count the stars 4. Robes and slippers provided 5. Quiet and very private CONS: (which should not exist in this price range) 1. No breakfast offered. No alternate breakfast recommendations. Nothing but a discount for not having it 2. Only 1 footrest for the 2 deck chairs 3. Uncomfortable furniture detracted from relaxing and enjoying the view 4. Internet connection slow and unreliable 5. No in-room guide with front desk number or tv instructions 6. Tv displays streaming services, but none are actually available. No good movie options 7. Toilet is super low - you have to bend over to flush it 8. No microwave in room SUMMARY: If you don't mind paying double the cost of other similar places for more sq ft and a spectacular ocean view, go for it, but don't expect much else above and beyond

    Whale Cove Inn was my first luxury boutique hotel experience and wow was I absolutely blown away!! I unfortunately only had 2 nights in this hotel, I wish it were way more! My visit was in October of 2019 before the pandemic, but we were immediately greeted by the man at the front desk and he was so kind, showed us around the hotel and gave us all the information we needed. Our room was HUGE, on the top floor with an incredible view of whale cove. The deck was large, the outdoor tub was amazing, the shower in the bathroom was also huge. They also provide binoculars in the room which is a great touch, and we used them daily to see some of the whales in whale cove. This place was an absolute dream getaway, and there are tons of places nearby to pull over and explore Oregon's beautiful coastline. I can't wait until I can go back with my camera and take great quality photos of the hotel and the area...photography is a passion of mine and Depoe Bay is the PERFECT place to photograph the coast. I'll be back soon, Whale Cove Inn!!!

    Wonderful, wonderful place to stay. Only 8 suites (no smoking, no pets, no kids under 17). Every suite has lovely view of the Cove. Great/phenomenal on-site restaurant.

    Love, love, love it here. Have been here twice and will continue coming! View is beautiful, rooms are large and spacious and the staff is very friendly!

    Don't let the price tag scare you away, if you have the money, go the Whale Cove Inn, you won't be disappointed. The staff was small but gave us one on one attention. We were walked to our room and given a tour of the space and amenities. The amenities were thoughtful and luxurious. We truly enjoyed every second of our stay and will definitely be back.

    Been wanting to try Becks for several years...finally made it and I can't believe I have been missing out on this little gem all this time. The dinning room overlooks a private little cove, where we were told orcas can be found swimming around dusk. First you enter through the Hotels lovely lobby where you are greeted with a view of the bay through a wall of windows, a waterfall wall and fireplace. The wait staff were very nice...you know friendly and helpful without being intrusive...but the jewel is definitely the chef and his delightful creations. He sources local ingredients and forges for unique bites that compliment every dish. I had the pork belly appetizer, the halibut with roasted artichokes and an amazing berry cream brûlée. A delicious meal, enjoyed with friends in a beautiful location. Oh and let's not forget the good wine selection! What a delightful evening ... will definitely return the next time I am in the area!
