Ratings and reviews
1.5 / 5.0
My overall rating was a little higher because of the friendly front desk employees and the view of the oceanfront was beautiful. However, the room was less than desirable. The couch bottom had no support left. You literally sat down on the metal frame of the sofa bed. The ceiling in the bathtub/shower was flaking off and the shower enclosure looked filthy. Also, we had a half of a roll of TP in one bathroom and a new one in the other. That was it, no extra. The towels/wash clothes were the same, one each. I know we could have called down for all of those items if need be, but this would have been our first time having to request additional TP at a hotel/resort.

The room could use new faucets and shower hardware. Bed in my opinion was not confortable. You can tell its an older resort.

Couch in our suite was so old and dirty I did not even want to put my jacket on it.

Beautiful place, area, and views! Restaurant was lacking as were options in the immediate area, but Wilmington had nice choices, and of course the room gad a kitchen.
Biggest issue was I left items behind and immediately (w/in 30 min of checking out) contacted them. Responses were slow or not at all. I did eventually get my items back but one of a few messages that went ignored was my request for shipping/tracking info, eta. Never heard back. But again, I did receive my items. Just, being ignored is never good and very unprofessional.
Front desk staff was great. Restaurant staff too, the food just wasn’t. Grandkids didn’t even like it. Only went there once for dinner and never went back. Tried once for breakfast but they opened too late (8 or 9).

Room cards did not work had to reprogram. No toilet paper in room had to get from front desk. Ceiling fans and a luggage rack would be nice in bedroom.

Room was very dated & didn’t feel clean. There also was no water bottles for drinking & the water along with everything else in the room smelled like chlorine/bleach.
The location is awesome at the north end of Wrightsville Beach, but other than that, I would not stay here again.

My stay was amazing, as usual. The weather was simply gorgeous each day for me to sit, watch, and listen to the waves wash to shore. Every October we stay at the Shell Island Resort because of easy access to the beach.

Everything was great. The only suggestion is the shower knob needs to be tightened. This was our first time at Shell Island Resort and it left a pretty good impression on us. We will be back and will request the same room. Thank you to Madison for finding us a room on the top floor. I called days in advance to make request and the person I spoke with did not place it in the notes. Madison worked her magic and it is greatly appreciated.

A lot of long hairs on the room floors and bathrooms, older furnishings, tub fixtures were pitted. Sheets( long hair on sheet also) and towels were not the greatest but serviceable. I had a few bug bites and not sure from where or when. There wasn’t anyone to help with bags.
The ice machine was out of ice. The elevator walls were sketchy. On the other hand the room had a great view, it was a short watch to the beach and the pool area was clean and we were there only a couple days and had a good time.

Horrible. The sofa was very old and sinking. Could not get out of it. The resort needs upgrades it is not even worth to stay there. Everything was old and dirty. The manger did not offer any accommodation except every room as privately owned. Not engaging. Did not care. Wow. If I could I need my money back.

One of our requirements was a wheelchair accessible room. We were first given a room that the wheelchair wouldn't even go through the bathroom door then we were given a room that you could get through doorways, but the bedroom was very tight for a wheelchair and the bathroom was not at all wheelchair accessible.
On our checkout day we decided to go eat breakfast at the hotel. When we walked into the restaurant there were only two other tables that had customers. They told us to sit anywhere and then people started pouring in and the waitress was taking everyone else's orders before us. She finally came and took our drink orders and I asked her if she could give us menus and she took forever bringing us menus and then she took forever to come back and take our food orders and then after an hour we still had not got our food and we know people that she took orders after us was starting to get their food before us so we just got really upset and walked out.

Excellent if you want to be at the beach, it’s the last place up on Wrightsville Beach. The Resort needs work on maintaining the rooms. But staff was excellent ! All and all good .

We love the Shell Island Resort! It's been our go-to destination for my birthday weekend the past few years. The oceanfront balconies all have beautiful views! The beach is walkable and wonderful. This year, I was thrilled that the hotel gave us a complimentary bottle of bubbly for my birthday! The staff is so friendly and thoughtful. Already looking forward to next year!

We love staying at the Shell Island Resort during our visits to UNCW. It’s the best feeling in the morning, walking into the living room area and looking out through those big beautiful windows and getting the best view of the ocean. Then moving to the balcony sipping your morning coffee and watching the waves roll in. The facility has everything you’ll need during your stay - the amenities are great! The staff is always helpful and caring. We love it here!

A bit rundown. Ice machines and hot tub not working. But the staff was very nice and helpful. Facilities were nice but generally not in the best shape.

I was expecting a nicer room for the premier option...no stove was a bummer. Microwave light did not work. Hot tub jets weren't working. Overall, a nice place..nice staff. Enjoyed breakfast in the hotel and our short stay.

It is in a beautiful location. Dining room was closed when we wanted to eat usually. The hot tub which was great had broken jets. The indoor pool was cold. It looked better on the web. Lol....needs updated for the amount paid to stay there. Staff was super friendly and parking was fantastic. So a mixed experience
