A little disappointed in this property. I’d seen this property online many times and based on the online photos and descriptions, I was excited to get to try it. The facility is “older” but I can live with that. I didn’t feel it was very clean and there’s a big difference between “old” and “clean.” Rooms are quite small. Would not be able to stay longer than one night or two and definitely could not stay with more than two people in the unit. No amenities were available while we were there so I can’t comment on those. Ocean view was really nice. Pool area appeared to be quite nice and great beach access. Will not book here again however.

The property seems very run down and out of current building code standards. Several lights did not work and even after asking for staff to investigate, nothing changed. Additionally, the floors and room in general looked dirty. I would not stay here again. This was a stark difference from the stay I had in the Holiday Inn down the street.

The ocean view was definitely the highlight of our stay. However, the room was outdated and had some maintenance issues ..the outlets didn’t work correctly to charge any of our devices and the bathroom sink handle was broken. At checkout, we asked to extend our stay, but Anna told us the hotel was fully booked. After loading our car, we found out they did have rooms available, which was frustrating. Staff wasn’t particularly friendly either. The room was functional, but the overall experience could’ve been better.

The Shell Island Resort was disappointing based on other reviews. The renovations were minimal and surface level. The accommodations were small. The restaurant was closed so we had to leave the resort for every meal. $50 resort fee for 2 days. Chairs, umbrellas and beach towels are an extra fee. The positive was the amazing ocean front view. Overall the stay was ok. We were there for only 2 nights. I wouldn’t want to stay for a full week at this price for what you receive as a guest.
