Shell Island Resort - All Oceanfront Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Can't beat the location as long as you don't mind being a little far from everything but the beach - the staff was the standout for me on this trip- all of the staff from the front desk to the bar and beach rentals to the cleaning staff were all so very friendly and helpful - my only critique would be the beach/ pool towels and I would suggest bringing your own !"
