Nice get away

⸻ We had a wonderful stay at Shell Island Resort! The location is unbeatable—peaceful, quiet, and right on the beach with breathtaking views. The front desk staff were incredibly welcoming and friendly, both at check-in and check-out, which made us feel right at home. The on-site restaurant was a pleasant surprise with delicious food and great service, though we were a little disappointed it was closed on Monday. Our room was clean and comfortable, and waking up to the ocean view each morning was a real treat. Overall, a relaxing getaway in a beautiful setting—we’ll definitely be back! ⸻

Great location

This hotel is the last building on the street, so it's surrounded on three sides by beach and the beautiful green landscape around the inlet. It's a slightly quieter end of the beach and gets quieter still as you follow it north, which was great for peaceful early morning walks. The hotel itself is showing its age with some rough edges (our bed creaked loudly at the slightest movement), so not the most pristine option in the area, but the views more than made up for it for us. The restaurant is also pretty basic but affordable, and the staff were all friendly. The indoor and outdoor pools were nice as well.

Shell Island

We had a great experience using Shell Island for the first time, with the exception of the water's unpleasant smell. The location was perfectly suited for our needs, and we plan to revisit in the future.

2/10 Poor

Sorry, but absolutely no.

Chairs and table on balcony covered with bird droppings - which would've been forgiveable if the room hadn't also been completely filthy. Marks on bedsheets, stains on towels. There were 2 spoons in the "equipped kitchen" - one a teaspoon, one a tablespoon - both dirty in the drawer as were both bowls (of two wildly different sizes) -- AFTER we washed the cups, the spoons, the bowls the three of us had to take turns (I'm not kidding) with the one appropriately sized cereal bowl and spoon. Completely ridiculous. Cleaning aside - the beds were super uncomfortable and none of us got decent sleep at all. Eco friendly? I'm sure they are, because they don't clean (saving water and resources I suppose). Good service? I gave them a three of five because they said they were giving me a full refund (I haven't seen it yet though) and I was able to go elsewhere in the end, but absolutely wouldn't stay here again even if I was paid to do so.

The ocean view was definitely the highlight of our stay. However, the room was outdated and had some maintenance issues ..the outlets didn’t work correctly to charge any of our devices and the bathroom sink handle was broken. At checkout, we asked to extend our stay, but Anna told us the hotel was fully booked. After loading our car, we found out they did have rooms available, which was frustrating. Staff wasn’t particularly friendly either. The room was functional, but the overall experience could’ve been better.

Great beach but some general maintenance issues.

The floors could have been cleaner. The drains and bathtub enclosure were stained. Several lamps were broken and the legs on the side table and 2 chairs were very loose and I had to tighten them up. But most of all the water had a very strong sulphur smell that was almost unbearable at times and surely could not be drinken. It was even hard to take a shower due to the smell of the water. And the sound of slamming doors made sleeping an issue. However the view and beach were wonderful and the staff were very professional and accommodating. The kitchen was equipped as expected but not everything was there you needed. Limited silverware and dishes. The pools and hot tub were very well maintained and the grounds were cleand daily. 50/50 if I would stay there again.
