I just returned from a lovely stay at Shelly Beach Resort, where the atmosphere was welcoming and the facilities impressive. The townhouse we stayed in was spacious and clean, perfect for our family. The pool, tennis court, and games room were the highlights for my kids. While the price was unbeatable for everything offered, an extra frypan or saucepan would have been a nice addition to the kitchen setup. Overall, it was a fantastic value for a family getaway.
