I love the Shalimar. We had a partial view of the beach. Very clean with all that we needed. We stayed a while week and loved every minute. My favorite things about Shalimar is the towel exchange program and the walk out to the beach. It is one of the best shelling beaches. We will stay again

This resort is newly reopened after rebuilding from the hurricane. It’s very tranquil and relaxing. The resort management is pretty much hands off, but lets you know to contact them if you have needs. The resort is situated on a quiet stretch of the beach. I lived the light aqua colors and seahorse theme. Those are two of my favorites. My only wish is that I could have stayed longer. I’ll definitely be back.
