There was a minor issue with check in, but the staff was accommodating and the security team was excellent and I made new friends. Kudos to Mr Green and his team also the housekeeping lady was thorough and the place was well cleaned. I will be back for sure. Close to shopping and the Police Station was in front so I felt safe. I would highly recommend sea shell palms.
I stayed at this hotel for 2 nights then I rebooked it for another 2 nights it came with breakfast which it could be improved a little better with bacon or ham, overall it was a very nice stay also there is a small shopping Plaza there, I would stay there again highly recommend

I did a last minute booking , guards was very assistive , courteous and very professional. Breakfast was good.In the morning went to the office got exceptional service from the hotel staff. Would stay again.
Me and my friend came for a week for a girls trip and we had an amazing time. The staff are very nice and you can request clean towels and drinks/tea free of charge. The pool and jacuzzi are amazing temperature, the breakfast was very good. There is regular house keeping and if you have any questions, you can ask the front office, Amazing stay.
