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.
4.2
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.
4.2
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.
4.2
The room was fine but the water coming out of the taps smell terrible, like sulfur. It tarnished silver necklaces
4.2
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.
4.2
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.
4.2
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 .
4.2
Needed updates. Hot tub not working and did not let you know this before booking,, system was down so had to leave CC info written on paper very unsafe.
4.2
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!
4.2
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!
4.2
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.
4.2
stay was very nice. Have been coming to Shell Island for many years, it never disappoints.
4.2
stay was great except the beds and bedding an furniture needs to be updated. sofa sleeper an mattresses are terrible
4.2
I had a good time at the beach, but since we payed for a resort we were expecting a resort accommodation. Everything is old and outdated. We even had roaches in the bathroom of our room. Linens and towels had stains also. I asked for fresh ones and they were in the same conditions.
4.2
Amazing quick trip with the kids. The place is always very welcoming and the staff are super nice. We will always come back.
4.2
Beautiful beach views but Old worn out hotel. Dirty drapes, dirty windows, water in faucets, tub, shower smelled weird. Couldn’t get sliding door open and had to call front desk 3 times. TV was messed up and had to have a guy fix that as well. Restaurant was closed both the days we stayed there. The Only reason I might ever consider this hotel again in the future is if it was totally renovated with new Management.
4.2
The location was beautiful. The staff was very nice. The restaurant was slow but the food was good.
4.2
The hotel is showing were and tear and needs attention. The room was not very clean when we checked in. The towels and sheets are old and look stained and yellow. The bathroom is in bad condition. The shower is old and creaks when you get in. I thought the faucet was going to come out of the wall. Overall the condition is very worn and out of date.
4.2
Service wasn’t great. 2 people stayed for three nights. We had two towels and three washcloths. During the week it was super quiet, but because the bedrooms were on the side where the walkways are, people were super loud and rowdy on Friday night and early Saturday morning when we were trying to sleep. I did like the resort because all the rooms are ocean front and would stay again as long as it’s during the weekdays.
4.2
Great location for enjoying the beach. Facility is in good condition and the staff was friendly and responsive. The location is isolated, so a car is needed. Plenty to do in the area.
4.2
Great hotel!
4.2
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
4.2
Very dated for the price. Lacked good amenities. Not much in gift shop area. Great location at the end of the island.
4.2
Our second stay here. Pricey, but well appointed. Love the amenities (on site bar, breakfast and beach chair rentals).
4.2
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.
4.2
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.
4.2
Need complete reno, dirty, paint peeling. Would nit stay again or recommend.
4.2
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. Had to ask for more towels and soaps. In room fridge did not work. Resturant was mediocre at best and never saw tiki bar open while I was there; Wed-Sat.
4.2
Unit had not been updated in a while. Couch had stains on the cushions and there was some discoloration on the wall near the ceiling on the Eastern wall in the bedroom. Great location and friendly staff.

I liked that it was quiet

Nice location and room set up.
4.2
Pictures can be deceiving. Everything about this property is old and tired and it almost laughable that it bills itself as a resort. Let's start with the rooms. When we entered there was a heavy smell of chorine bleach and we had to leave open the entry door and the balcony door. The floor moldings were dirty and tired, the bathroom tub was worn and didn't drain, the toilet seat was loose, the mini-fridge freezer didn't work and dripped water into the frig compartment and I almost forgot that the entry door stuck and scaped the floor every time you entered and exited - think of loud nails scraping chalk board. Also be aware that the bedroom wall against the exterior hall walkway so at night its noisy and results in the loss of any sort of privacy. Also, they don't clean and make up the bed on a daily basis. A hold over from the COVID protocol. You have to pick any additional towels or bedding change up at the front desk. The dining room was also a joke. They would run out of things and not secure additional inventory. Jelly, bagels, grits - you can't make this stuff up. What I can say though is that the balcony views are amazing and the beach is huge, super nice, open and not crowded. It's ashamed that they don't invest in the infrastructure as the property it is on is spectacular and the views both the ocean and marsh breathtaking. We were so happy we had good weather so we didn't have to spend much time in the room.
4.2
We have stayed here now for a couple of years and always enjoyed our stay. Staff is friendly and property is clean. Condo was just painted and everything was great for our stay.
4.2
Fantastic for the whole family! Great beach fun!
4.2
This hotel desperately needs an update.., It felt very dated and worn out. The location was nice.
4.2
Out dated
No amenities that live up to resort status
Pool area substandard
Tear it down and rebuild!
4.2
This property was not clean! My family and I recently stayed here and the bathroom was gross!! I had to clean it before we could use it. The mini kitchen area was disgusting. The space was small and I expected so much more. We left the property two days early. Staff was friendly though. This place needs an upgrade on their facility pronto!!
4.2
Location was nice but room was dirty and small. I felt the pictures online were deceiving.
