Best Resorts in Shell Key Preserve

"We had a short but very pleasant stay at the Compass Hotel by Margaritaville. Our room had a lovely water view, and the entire property is beautifully maintained. A relaxing and enjoyable stop, would happily return."

"Beautiful property. Very clean. Friendly helpful staff. In bouse restaurant. Excellent stay."

"The staff were wonderful. Eddie was so helpful. The hotel itself was built in 1920’s. As a result the hotel has a lot of character but is in no way modern. You will have the benefit of a safe and clean place to sleep, bathe and store luggage. The location is beyond excellent and balances out the age of the hotel and sparse accommodations. If you are a light sleeper you will absolutely need good ear plugs because the walls and floors are thin. If you have bad knees, note the beds are low to the ground and the stairs are steep and narrow in the event you need to use them. You will need a steamer or travel iron for your clothes. Parking is one block away and is safe and convenient. There is a wonderful bar (Novu) connected to the hotel on the right. They have great HH specials on drink and food. Fortu is Michelin starred restaurant connected to the hotel on the left. I stayed for one night only needing the place to change and sleep. The property was good for those purposes. "

"We had an amazing time at the resort. It was nice that our boys who are 18 and 15 could go do there own thing while my wife and me could enjoy the beach. They played bags and used their skim boards. Staff was really good as well. "

"I held my 55th birthday party at the taproom outside by the pool. They pre-set a table for 20 people and our waitress Kailyn was absolutely amazing. I was surprised by a bottle of champagne that was in my refrigerator and a welcoming note because they knew it was my birthday. My room was amazing. I could’ve lived there and had a kitchenette a living room of course a king bed and large bathroom all of it was immaculate and very contemporary and stylish. It was an ADA room which I opted for only because it was larger than the regular suites (no tub, only shower). They offer you bottled water when you check in and I was able to get a late check out at 12:30 PM. Housekeeping staff was very friendly and found my glasses after I had left my room, returning them to me immediately. All of my guests at the party just loved The Hollander Hotel; the Vibe, the decor, the food was great and the service was amazing. This is my favorite boutique hotel in St. Petersburg. I highly recommend it."

"Great stay"

"We spend Thanksgiving here every year and we love it. The rooms are all very nice. Most have beautiful views of the beach. We've been going here for about five years. My son is special needs and everyone is always nice and patient with our family."

"Super nice staff and clean and comfortable rooms!!!"
