Very pleased with our accomodations. Parking was adequate and we were greeted with a smile at check in. Jordyn and Becca at the beach bar were excellent. The grouper sandwiches were great and the canned beer was always cold. We did not have to pay for our beach chairs or umbrella and we were treated with respect by the beach... More

We stayed in the St. Lucia tower of the complex and were very pleased with our accommodations. The complex seems relatively new and well kept. The view was great, although St. Lucia may not have the best view in the complex. The size was perfect for 2 couples with each bedroom having an ocean view and individual access to the... More

We have been staying in Silver Shells for several years and the beach service has become increasingly aggressive. With our very large group purchasing the service was equivalent to a mortgage payment. Our condo was great and provided beach chairs. The first day we went down we were approached by the service/chair nazi and told we could not have our... More

That was what I was told as my ligaments were pressed against my bones during a couples massage. I have had dozens of massages, but this was by far the worsted. I was black & blue for days afterwards. This was NOT a deep tissue massage. The room was small. The men's locker room & shower were discussing too. My... More

Don't forget to factor in the $100/per day cleaning fee. Add to that a $150 '"processing fee" (another cute name for we want to charge you more). It's a really nice tactic, instead of charging you a higher rate they lure you in with a reduced rate but charge you this fee in the end. Add to that a 6%... More

I own a condo at St. barth's and it's a family friendly place on the beach. You can walk to some good places to eat. We have been coming to destin for 20 years & love every minute there. More

We stayed in the St Maarten building last spring and liked it so much we came back for a week for our summer vacation. This place beats staying in any hotel in Destin and offers a perfect location plus many amentities. It has a very long beach which is private which makes it great for families. There is a tki...

We stayed here in 2009. The pools were really cold. On the last day we found out that there was a heated pool in the back but it was so secluded and no fun. The rooms were nice but I wouldn't stay here again. More

This was our third trip to Silver Shells with previous visits in 2004 and 2006. With some reviewers commenting on a decline in the property we were hoping for the best. Not to worry as we found the resort to be pretty much as we remembered it. The first thing in our favor was vacationing at the end of August... More

This is a great place to stay. The resort was wonderful, they have a great beach and views from the balcony are breathtaking. The pool was the best I have found at any resort. Will definitley be back. We did not encounter any issues that some have mentioned. More
