Shell Island Resort - All Oceanfront Suites

Shell Island Resort - All Oceanfront Suites

8/10 Good
"The beach and the view from our balcony were spectacular, our room layout in general worked well for the three of us, the staff were all pleasant to work with and the late check-out by an hour was much appreciated. We did have to ask for more supplies like towels and toilet paper, and we were pretty disappointed that the jets in the hot tub weren't working - I have arthritis and it would have been a nice way to end the day at the beach. Overall, we would love to come back to the Shell Island Resort again."
