Shell Island Resort - All Oceanfront Suites
The location was excellent and the beach was beautiful. The restaurant food quality for breakfast was incredibly poor. Staff were friendly and helpful. Room was clean except the coach had stains all over it. To be able to just wake up and view the sunrise from your balcony was 10 stars.
