Top Shelly Beach Hotel Reviews

Aquarius on the Beach

8/10 Good

"Very comfortable room, ample for two people. Bed was very comfortable. Lounge chair was very comfortable and great size. Kitchenette contained everything we needed. Ocean view was awesome. Walking distance to restaurants and shops. We flew into town and caught the 222 bus from the airport. Fare was 50c. Bus stop near Seaview hotel, which is walking distance to Aquarius. Front desk staff were extremely friendly. Will definitely be staying here again."

Shoredrive Motel

8/10 Good

"Good spot. Close to beach. Could do with new mattresses was awake more than asleep"

Picnic Bay Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"These are newly renovated units that are very modern and functional. The decor is great and the size is adequate. The free breakfast offered is so amazingly tasty and large in portion generously. The shuttle service is included which is so prompt and efficient from and to the ferry terminal. The staff are very accommodating, friendly and pleasant. We highly recommend this hotel which is 5 mins from the terminal. The location is quiet and restaurant is next door to the hotel. There are a few other restaurants very close to the hotel on the esplanade. Overall, it’s a 5 star with great amenities and service."

Seahaven Resort

8/10 Good

"Room was clean and very well presented upon arrival. Pool was fantastic size and conveniently located near room. There was also a small playground on site which was great for the kids. We had daily housekeeping but they only changed the towels beds weren’t made and floor wasn’t cleaned and the restaurant was undergoing renovations so we weren’t able to use it."
