I had a fantastic experience at the Shelter Beach Resort! The location is perfect with easy beach access, and the facilities are well-maintained. The staff were genuinely helpful, making our stay enjoyable. However, the rooms could use some improvements in cleanliness, as they weren't as fresh as I had hoped. Overall, it’s a great family-friendly spot with delicious food and a lovely atmosphere.

My stay at the resort was quite a mixed bag. On one hand, the lush green surroundings and clean atmosphere were incredibly refreshing, making it a great spot for relaxation. However, I did face some significant issues with the accommodations that dampened my overall experience, especially with the upkeep and some broken amenities. Overall, while the environment and dining were enjoyable, the rooms left a lot to be desired.

My stay was quite memorable, as the resort is a true gem along the East Coast Road with direct beach access. The rooms were decent, although they had a bit of a locked-in smell initially. The facilities were well-maintained, and the pool area was clean. However, the dining options were limited, which is a downside considering the potential of the location. Overall, it's a nice spot for a gathering, especially with family.

The resort is beautifully situated right on the beach, surrounded by lush greenery, which makes for a stunning atmosphere. The rooms are spacious but have a dated feel to them. I was disappointed by the dining experience, as the food quality fell short of expectations, and the breakfast was particularly underwhelming. While it has a small pool area, the beachfront access is a great attribute. Overall, if you’re prioritizing location and ambiance over food quality, this might be an option for you.

The resort is a lovely spot for beach lovers, offering private access to the beautiful Bay of Bengal. The staff, especially Karthik and Anand, were incredibly helpful, making our stay enjoyable. While the rooms were decent and well-maintained, the dining options could use some improvement, and the food wasn't as great as expected. Overall, it's a good place to unwind with family or friends, especially for those who appreciate beach access.
