Dont come here if you are concerned about your budget. Everything is overpriced and the rooms are nothing but a Motel with water views. The staff is rude and they act as if they doing you a favor by letting you stay there. If you want to say you were there with the "in people" then be prepared to pay... More

My friend twisted my arm and made me visit Shelter Island and she dictated that we were staying at Sunset Beach. From the pictures, it looked to me like an overpriced roadside motel. I was wrong. From the moment were arrived, I was in a state of relaxation. The property is expensive but so worth it. The rooms are comfortable... More

First let me start of by saying that I am very biased towards Shelter Island. I started going there as a teenager when I went to Camp Quinipet. I have taken my kids to the family camp there. So that island just holds very special memories for me. I went this year to SI and took a "grown up" vacation.... More

Don't go there if you have to watch your budget. You will be mad with overpriced everything. But if you love pretty people, lots of style in everything (from beach chairs to in-room blankets), balearic music - then this is your place. We've seen guests in Rolls Royces stocking up with water and chips in local IGA ( to save... More

My partner and I stayed at this hotel for one night for approximately $418. This didn't include breakfast. We've travelled alot and this hotel certainly wasn't worth the price tag. In fact this is the first hotel I have ever written a negative review about. We arrived at the hotel at around 12ish and just thought we'd mentoin we had... More

If the sun is shining it's a lovely venue. Rooms are basic and you have to put up with a lot of external noise as room walls and ceiling are no way soundproof. We had a fun time watching 'student like' American employees trying to look like chic Europeans, and for that I give them 5 stars. Of course having... More

This is an easy trip from NYC and a perfect getaway from the daily routine. I repeatedly had to remind myself we hadn't changed timezones. The food is ridiculously expensive, but every single meal was solo delicious and the atmosphere was a delight. I've never been to the south of France, but I believe everyone who says reminded them. I've... More

This is for the restaurant/bar only. Even though we were able to keep up with the noisy and trendy environment, our breath was taken away by the $ 9 dollar bottle of water, which should be listed in the Guinness Book of Records. We bought two at the local IGA for $ 3 dollars. More

I wanted a quick lunch after visiting Shelter Island. This place had a $18 hambuger on the menu and had to pass and go over to the Drug Store counter for a great resonable lunch. Why are they so expensive here? More

It's located just in front of the beach, an orange tune hotel matches perfectly with the sunset view. The restaurant of the hotel I'd nice too. More
