I guess you can tell by the 5 star rating that I love this place. First is the location: right on the beach on Long Beach Island, NJ's closest thing to an island paradise. The bar, The Tiki Bar at The Sea Shell, has a Tiki motif (duh) with a huge thatched outdoor dining area and a good sized thatched... More

We visited the restaurant only on a Monday evening in August. We wanted an ocean view but even during the week it was very crowded and we could not get one. This night they had a crab leg special for a great price. The other dishes we had were a mahi mahi and shrimp dish; both were very good. The... More

What a great place to stay. This hotel has outdoor music on Saturdays and Sundays, it's own "beach area" and of course, access to the all of Beach Haven's beaches. There is a pool and plenty of outdoor bars. Go down and enjoy it, you won't be disappointed. More

My husband and I were excited to have our last getaway before our baby was due to arrive so we splurged and reserved an ocean front room!! The room was beautiful -- the problem was it overlooks the tiki bar and is right over the nightclub!!!!! It was sooooooo loud In our room we could not get any sleep! It... More

The Sea Shell Hotel's location is perfect. The rooms are well designed and very comfortable, the views are beautiful in the ocean front rooms. When we checked in we were told by the person at the front desk that our ocean front room would be a little noisy because they had a DJ scheduled to play that evening. Well a... More

I avoided this place at the beginning of the summer because of the reviews here and stayed across the street at the Engelside. Hurricane Irene quashed my family's OBX plans, so we wanted a last minute LBI vacation and Sea Shell had a room. I found the service to be excellent and friendly (don't agree with others here). The room... More

Very disappointed!! When making reservation I was told "we are a family resort". There is nothing family friendy about this place! Pool area is surrounded by fence with maybe 3 feet around pool to put a plastic chair(no lounge chairs!). The fence is there to keep the bar patrons away as it is completely surrounded by the bar. My children... More

We had to stay for 3 nights over a weekend in July. They seem to cater more to their outside guests than their hotel guests. No complimentary coffee for guests. No place to hang towels after being on the beach. No dryer for guests and were told not to hang anything on outside rails. We were told to hang on... More

I just recently stayed at this resort for the fact that it was very close to my home. I choose this resort because it was right on the beach, and it had restaurant, and bar. My family ages consisted 25-60. Reason we gave it a very good: 1. On the beach 2. Great bar 3. Food was not bad, but... More
