Shell Island Resort - All Oceanfront Suites

Clean, quiet, and beautiful beach.

We had a great stay at the Shell Island Resort. The location and access to the beach was great. The ocean view from the room was fabulous. It was nice to have the suite and an extra bathroom. This really helped when getting ready. The staff was great. The food at the restaurant was just ok, but service was really good. We only went once for breakfast. Renting the chairs was easy and super convenient. The hotel is not a luxury hotel, but it was clean and loved the ocean access and views. I would stay there again for sure.

View was amazing and staff is always friendly!

We are fond of this resort, but this time we felt like the room could have been cleaner and the furniture more comfortable (thankfully the bed was fine). The staff are very nice and helpful, the restaurant food is good and you can't beat the location. I am sure we will stay again and hope it is cleaner next time.

Yes

Overall, we had a great experience at the Shell Island resort. The staff was really friendly and accommodating. They even helped by providing a guest parking pass for us when we had friends visiting. The space is smaller than some resorts, but we made it work.

I do have to say that the beach is nice and people get encouraged to book this hotel for the proximity to the beach, but I really don’t think is worth it. Wrightsville is a beautiful town that deserves better beach hotels.

Our bed and pillows were great and I slept very well. The hotel was built in 1984 and it’s in need of major renovation and maintenance. There are no USB charging areas in the room and nowhere to charge our plug in hybrid. The decor is late 80’s, early 90’s. I didn’t think that it was worth the price for the lack of amenities in our room.

Beach views and balcony are outstanding. We enjoy the separate bedroom and 2 bathrooms in a room is very helpful. Our favorite place to stay at the beach!

I think they are focused more on look of the front property and entrance rather than the rooms and the amenities for the guest there is no blow dryer or any extras of anything. If you needed towels they made you go down to the front desk for when it cost they should’ve been a little more focused on the guest. My light above sink didn’t work. They didn’t seem to care. The jacuzzi was not turned on. Pool is very nice and clean. However there are no towels for the pool. The ones they had were in the basket for days and didn’t look clean

Every room had an Ocean view and and Intercoastal view.

Gracias excelente servicio.

Liked private beach, heated pool. Would have liked a better coffee pot. The one in room 513 needed to be cleaned or replaced. Also there was lots of hair accumulated in the indoor pool from other swimmers that stuck on hands while swimming. Liked veranda

Unfortunately, the upkeep of the resort is not well-maintained. Upon entering our room, we immediately noticed the broken balcony furniture, a dirty floor, and a broken headboard on our bed. Additionally, the hot tub by the outdoor pool was broken, and when asked, the staff had no idea when it would be repaired. Both the Tiki Bar and the on-site restaurant had odd operating hours. If the upkeep of the hotel improves, we would consider returning for another visit.

Todo estaba muy sucio y la habitación era muy pequeña

Beach view

Room needs a good deep cleaning. Floor was really dirty. Sticky. Caked on dust on interior doors and floor boards. Found pills and empty cans under bed.

Great location and overall nice place to stay. The unit we stayed in needed to clean the floors better. Also the sliding glass door was very hard to open and close to the balcony.

What a beach view and wonderful access to the beach itself. The staff was great - very friendly - and anything missing in the suite, they were quick to bring it up. The restaurant is not open past breakfast on Monday and Tuesday, and it's just as well. The food was pricey and was only ok to not so good. Fortunately it was easy to get deliveries and there are lots of good places close by. The TIKI bar never opened during our Monday - Thursday stay. The jets weren't working in the common hot tub. We had a broken closet door - not a big deal. The beds were comfortable and the room was clean. Parking was easy. The shower can be a little challenging to get in and out of. Overall, the family had a great time. My wife and I shared the bedroom with our daughter and our sons slept on the pullout in the living room. Loved having two toilets. Worked well for a family of five.

The view on both sides of the resort was truly spectacular
