Great trip!

Condo was great! Everything was very clean and easy to access. We did not like having to drive to a separate location Several miles away to retrieve key fobs and return them at same location. That was a bit inconvenient after driving for so long but other than that it was perfect.

Very nice resort

Silver Shells is a great resort. We stayed in St Lucia and the property was very clean. The balcony is a good size and we enjoyed a few meals at the outside table there. The bed was comfortable, however the pillows were flat. So maybe bring your own pillows. Very nice master bath. We couldn't figure out how to connect a cable to the Internet to have more options to watch TV but overall, we had a great time.

Great location! Extremely Clean! Excellent amenities!

Everything was perfect about the stay. Very clean, Nicely decorated, and can't beat the location. The one downside is that you need to pick up and drop off your wrist bands and key fobs 5 miles away in the opposite direction of the airport. We did not rent a car so it was an inconvenience for us to not be able to just pick up and drop off on the way in the cab. But everything else was perfect.

Comfortable and clean

Condo was exceptionally clean, comfortable, and roomy. Everything we needed was available. This was our first time to Silver Shells and we found the property very well maintained. Enjoyed having a private pool and hot tub just for St. Lucia guest use. Check in/out was a slight inconvenience since we had to fight the traffic congestion (horrible construction delays on 98) in order to reach the site to pick up key fobs.

Great location. Walking distance to amazing restaurants. Beach was private and pools were very well kept up. We were really bummed out the tennis courts were being repaved and we couldn’t use it at all. Listing was very well kept lots of amenities and kitchenware to use. Air conditioner was extremely frustrating and it kept Auto setting back to 78* at night after we would set it. Bathroom & Closet and all rooms were huge. Really enjoyed our stay. Communication with owner and rental property was great.

This condo met all my expectations. One thing I would say is the cookware needs some work. As for pots, there was only one small one. Also, there wasn't any plasticware with lids or anything to store our food in the refrigerator for leftovers.
