Shell Island Resort - All Oceanfront Suites

10/10 Excellent
"The unit was in a great location. Staff could have done more to pick up trash around the pool area and walkway to the beach. Also, the facility ran out of olive juice for martinis as well as a couple of other things which was disappointing."
