I don't know if I'd stay here again simply because the sheets and tub were dirty (hair from previous occupants in the bed and hard water stains all over the tub and shower). Jet tubs are impossible to keep thoroughly clean...They also kept the thermostat centrally controlled at 68 degrees so we were freezing. There was a layer of dust behind the TV as thick as a blanket. People must not care in the summertime when the beach is the main attraction, but in the off season...when you're mostly inside, you see it all. The place needs refurbishing, badly, but the view is unparalleled. Gorgeous little balcony. Amazing breakfast.

We are a senior couple just looking for a relaxing weekend. The Shell Island Resort was WONDERFUL! The view from our room was incredible and the beach was beautiful and uncrowded at this time of year. After 3 days and nights, we truly did not want to leave! The staff was superb and I want to especially commend the maintenance crew, specifically Patrick, who was super helpful patient and friendly.

The room was OK. There were a few minor maintenance issues: headboard was loose, several non working light bulbs, table and night stand were wobbly, popcorn ceiling peeling in shower. Not what I'd call a deluxe room with upgraded furnishings.

It was terrible. The bar was closed the restaurant was closed. It should not be advertised as a resort at all. The linens were the worst I have ever experienced at a hotel in 60 years. They did not tell me that we had to ask to have the room cleaned. So that was a problem. They should at least tell you at check in that you had to request room clean and towels and coffee

Loved the view, but not the suite.
My overall rating was a little higher because of the friendly front desk employees and the view of the oceanfront was beautiful. However, the room was less than desirable. The couch bottom had no support left. You literally sat down on the metal frame of the sofa bed. The ceiling in the bathtub/shower was flaking off and the shower enclosure looked filthy. Also, we had a half of a roll of TP in one bathroom and a new one in the other. That was it, no extra. The towels/wash clothes were the same, one each. I know we could have called down for all of those items if need be, but this would have been our first time having to request additional TP at a hotel/resort.

The resort is very dated. Our particular unit was dingy- the main bathroom was normally cleaned, the bed was uncomfortable, and the paint was chipping in places. The ocean front view was beautiful, and it was quiet- but the place needs a major refresher. We won’t stay there again.
