I liked the location & the beach wasn't crowded. I liked being on the beach and the easy walk. the staff was friendly & easy to get supplies from the front desk. I was disappointed that in a 4 night stay, no housing keeping at all was offered, not even every other night which is the standard that other hotels are offering now. The bathroom floor got wet and we wiped up the water and it was gross how dirty the towels became. Also the rooms should have been quick house keeping meaning trash emptied, bed made, floor swept & basic supplies replenished like Toilet paper, towels, paper towels etc. For as almost $400 a night, the hotel needs to meet the industry standard that if a stay is more than 2 nights, basic house keeping every other day. Also we ate at the restaurant & food was horrible. Burger ordered at medium as hard & so over cooked it was dry. The shrimp where clearly sat out and old/hard. The restaurant is so poorly run that we did not go back and didn't order drinks or anything from it after our first experience. The property overall is nice and we would go back but would look for better prices considering the lack of housekeeping & poor quality food

I love this property for the simple location to the beach. When you stay on a beach, it can be hard to find seating on the beach. With the location of Shell Island, that is not a problem. The staff here is helpful and kind. We've stayed twice and plan to stay again.

The hotel room we stayed in was very run down and not clean. Furniture was broken, bathroom had rust stains in the sink ....clearly no one cleaned it. The kitchen was described as a full kitchen but was a kitchenette when we got there, door to the balcony did not close most of the time. The pool and hot tub was closed half of our stay.

Excellent location at the north end of the beach. The facilities basic at best. Upon check in provided overview sheet that daily housekeeping would not be provided for a room that cost over $400/night and beach chairs could be rented for a fee. The bed, mattress, linens were all sub standard. Moved locations after 2 nights.

Very overpriced. No housekeeping. Hot tub was not working. Had to go to front desk to get linens for pull-out couch and received stained pillows that smelled bad.
