The rooms and fitness center were modern and very clean. But unfortunately that's where the positive experience ends. I'd suggest shopping around for a different place to stay.

Shell Island Resort - All Oceanfront Suites
The room was in great condition and the staff was courteous. On the not so good side, I will mention lack of tea and facial tissue in the room. Also, free coffee was not provided in the lobby except when the restaurant was not working on Sundays and Mondays.
