Facility seems to be a bit older than some of the other hotels, however- location is great! All rooms have ocean view with balconies and the marshes are on the other side. Rooms are spacious, with sitting area and large window to the ocean. Small kitchen, 2 toilets (1 with shower). Access to beach. Large parking garage. We did not use the restaurant.

We had a great experience using Shell Island for the first time, with the exception of the water's unpleasant smell. The location was perfectly suited for our needs, and we plan to revisit in the future.

From the moment you walk into the lobby This place is a mess and it smells Outdated and not cared for Old and not renovated Dirty elevators The clock in the mini living are is wrong..just saying some details matter to some people AC vents are dirty 🧐 The room: it smells it’s outdated the blinds the furniture all of it The kitchen counter dirty upon check in no hot water kettle Not a single bottle of water in the room Nothing! One coffee pack and one filter enough for one cup The curtains in bedroom no long enough to cover the blinds / window So light creeps in from hallways Whoever peeks in from hallway can see you laying in bed Also beds are midgets too short too small WiFi ….it’s simply terrible Toilet seat busted upon check in we did call for maintenance or front desk this place is beyond calling maintenance no use no need and don’t even bother. We don’t use the jacuzzi outside but it looks dirty yellow in color. For what this place is charging it’s a rip off a total rip off No beach chairs or lounges or umbrellas This is pretty much a 2 ⭐️⭐️ at best that’s is in rough shape but charging $300 a night plus taxes & resort fees 😂😂😳😳😵‍💫😵‍💫 Stay somewhere else book somewhere else. Not a chance on earth that we would return here. This property is not worth more than $129.99 a night and still I would not return even if it’s free. This true precise review shall be a wake up call to management and owners ( you should not be in business )

Sorry, but absolutely no.

Chairs and table on balcony covered with bird droppings - which would've been forgiveable if the room hadn't also been completely filthy. Marks on bedsheets, stains on towels. There were 2 spoons in the "equipped kitchen" - one a teaspoon, one a tablespoon - both dirty in the drawer as were both bowls (of two wildly different sizes) -- AFTER we washed the cups, the spoons, the bowls the three of us had to take turns (I'm not kidding) with the one appropriately sized cereal bowl and spoon. Completely ridiculous. Cleaning aside - the beds were super uncomfortable and none of us got decent sleep at all. Eco friendly? I'm sure they are, because they don't clean (saving water and resources I suppose). Good service? I gave them a three of five because they said they were giving me a full refund (I haven't seen it yet though) and I was able to go elsewhere in the end, but absolutely wouldn't stay here again even if I was paid to do so.
