Good location and expected more. Management was very rude and not very accomadating at all-would not let us stay an extra hour for a late checkout. Broken windows in hallways, dirty floors, not clean at all. I would not recommend it... more

My mother and I stayed at Shell Island for two nights. The room was larger than expected and clean. The half bath was an added bonus. The view of the beach form the balcony was breathtaking. It was great to have the small kitchen in the room. There was also an indoor and outdoor pool and a restaurant and bar... more

Just returned from 5 days at Shell Island, our first time there. Our suite was just as described, and even better. The space was small for 3 adults but we had great weather and were on the beach most of the time. Having the half bath was very convenient. The bed was very comfortable with high quality cotton sheets but... more

We just got back yesterday! We have always went to Myrtle Beach or Panama City FL. We were looking for a more relaxing vacation with less people & we got it! Crowds were small @ the beach. The hotel was very nice. The staff were friendly & very helpful. Our room was EXACTLY like the virtual tour on their website!... more

Well I'll start with check-in, room wasn't ready until almost 4 p.m. (check in was at 3 p.m.) I finally got the manager and she went up to help because there was only ONE housekeeper on staff. Now on to the room, very cramped. I traveled with a family of four and we could barely move around without bumping each... more

Visited shell island for the first time in may 2008. Loved the area. Residential area. Very quiet. Beautiful view from front of the property and rear. Uncrowded beach, even on the weekend. Staff very accomodating with requests. Stayed in room 619. Nice decor.Not at all what we expected from the picture on the internet. Comfortable furniture, granite countertops in kitchenette.Looked... more

My sister and I were both very happy with the accomodations, decor, 2 toilets & bathroom sinks separated by a door (allowing max privacy & convenience), and sensational views of the Atlantic. The beach is wide and relatively unpopulated (but this is April, so summer may have more people taking advantage of the beckoning sands and water). Being at the... more

The location of the hotel is very nice but the service received was less than adequate. The staff made you feel like you were imposing upon them to ask a question. Although I found them to be nice, they were far less than accomodating and not at all concerned about making the stay a welcome one. Although the hotel is... more

We were kind of disappointed. the website looks new and fresh but reality is that the place is pretty rundown, if that wasnt the truth, then why are they currently (table saws and all) renovating half the hotel? Also the website says seasonal hours may apply. We have young kids and depend on the hotel restaurant and bar, and indoor... more
