The resort is beautiful, beach view from room is outstanding. The room itself was ok. The toilets were dirty, one of them had a leaking issue and the room was not thoroughly cleaned. The fitness room was a joke, all the equipment was old and didn't function properly. Not worth the extra money over Holiday Inn up the street.

The property was completely BEAUTIFUL. The room was pretty clean, just felt sandy a bit on the floor; which is understandable, it being at the beach. :) The beach view/pool view is totally AWESOME. WE SO ENJOYED our stay at Shell Island Resort. The room was comfy and nice. Would definitely stay here again!! :)
