It was fine
Pros:
The location was great.
Cons:
Housekeeping, room service, gym, pool area
The overall experience was fine. The beach was nice, the rooms were as described. The housekeeping left a little to be desired. The common areas could use some updating. The coffee for $2.50 was pretty bad. Requests for room service were met with reluctance, but accomplished. The restaurant is also fine. The staff are friendly, but that is it. The gym has barely usable equipment (a falling apart treadmill and mismatched weights) and was badly in need of a cleaning. The pool and beach towels that you have to keep asking for at the front desk are tiny, thin and worn. Although not under the control of the hotel, the other guests were noisy and rowdy and my kids learned a few new swear words. The beach umbrellas and chairs cost extra.

Thank you for your review. We apologize if some aspects of your stay were not as expected. Your feedback is greatly appreciated and we hope to have you as a guest in the future. Thank you for choosing to stay with us at Shell Island Resort.
Great view of the ocean from every room
Pros:
The view of the ocean from the balcony can't be beat. The restaurant/bar also has the ocean-front view.
Cons:
The room was very clean upon arrival, but the housekeeping staff was less detailed in cleaning our room on successive days during our stay.
Location:
Great location for enjoying the beach. There is a good restaurant on property. Other local restaurants and shops are a short 1.5-mile drive/bike away.
Very friendly staff at the reception desk and restaurant/bar. The hotel exceeded our expectations for the price. It was very convenient that each room is a suite with small kitchenette and ocean-front balcony. We would definitely return. We did not use the indoor or outdoor pools, but many people seemed to enjoy them. Parking was easy in the attached parking garage. The hotel is at the north tip of the island, adjacent to a bird sancturay, so traffic and crowds are minimal.

Beautiful views
Great views. Nice to have onsite restaurant. Older property, ac was noisy and shower whistled. Other than that a great weekend.

Nice hotel right next to the beach.
Pros:
Friendly staff, quiet location, clean and wide beach.
Location:
We especially enjoyed Poe's Tavern (nearby restaurant) - great burgers, chicken sandwiches, and great sweet tea!
This resort hotel has the friendliest staff I've ever encountered. It was great to be right next to the beach. The suite was smaller than I anticipated but met all of our needs and was very clean. The view of the beach was fantastic. The resort hotel is the last building at the end of the island so it was very nice to walk in the nature preserve and avoid the crowds on the other end of the island.

Was Not Worth the Price!
Great beach access... thats about all!! Room was uncomfortable, pool was minuscule, indoor pool was intolerably hot, beach rental inordinately expensive, ill equipped kitchenette, TV so small heads of people were cut out, restaurant was mediocre but expensive. The whole place is in need of a facelift!!! Not worth $1,600 for 4 nights

Nice hotel beach access. Rooms all face the beach.
Pros:
Comfortable room with beautiful view.
Location:
Close to upscale restaurants.
I stayed at the hotel so I could attend a wedding set up on the beach. The staff is very good about supporting these ceremonies.

I'd certainly go back!
We only stayed for one night however I'd book this hotel again. Beach access was fantastic. Rooms with ocean front view. Bar was poolside. Bed was comfortable. Room was comfortable. Easy to find and nice to have a free parking deck. Staff was friendly. Even though we didn't use the service I like the idea of being able to rent umbrellas and chairs from the hotel for use on the beach. My only complaints are minor: couldn't figure out to work the thermostat, water pressure in the shower was kind of weak (but not bad), and it was hot in the elevator. Not really anything to complain about though. Like I said, I would most certainly come back for my next trip.

Nice view, good price, super service.
Lovely wide oceanfront view at the end of the island. Private, clean beach. Condo was not new, but had a nice layout, complete with bath and a half. Resort staff were warm and friendly. Price was good. Very please.
