Wonderful

Great large apartment, very clean and well equipped. The location was right across from the bay and was very peaceful. We would stay again. Everyone was very friendly and it had everything we needed.
My Unit was only meters from the beach with a lovely view of the beach from my Balcony. Traffic was quiet. Reception people lovely. I would stay here again.
My stay at Shelley Bay for 2 nights was excellent, exactly what I needed opposite the beach, nice views, great air conditioning, comfortable beds, kitchenette was well equipped. Pool was great also. Price was very reasonable
I would definitely stay again.
Fantastic view straight across from the beach. Apartment was lovely and clean with everything you need in the kitchen supplied except a dishwasher. Would definitely recommend the Resort to others and stay here again hopefully in the future.
Across the road from beach. Spacious apartment with everything you need

Fantastic.
Building is an older build but that did not bother us as it was well maintained and clean and comfortable, spacious, bright, a with a superb location. The value in price was exceptional. We cannot usually get a small dingy motel room at the price that we got a whole 2 bedroom apartment here. We kept adding more nights as we didnt want to leave!
Really enjoyed my stay, no complaints! Highly recommend.

Excellent place to stay
1st time staying here and it is a fantastic place to stay. Even before we arrived we got a SMS to say our room was ready before the stated check in time. Really nice unit, large, well equipped. Good heating, which is important at the moment. Rooms have a good view of the sea, made it great to sit on the balcony. Fast, free wifi. Large parking spaces, plenty of them. Both the ladies we met on reception were super friendly and helpful. We look forward to staying again and for longer.
The checking in was seamless and so personalized. Felt very welcome.

Upon arrival we were very pleased to find a lift to take us up to our apartment. After a long day in the car, this was a very welcome find - no need to cart bags and cases up flights of stairs! The apartment was great as was the location.
