    cozy room
    outdoor pool
    relaxing garden
    noisy nights

    The King room was cozy, and I really loved the outdoor pool and relaxing garden area—it was perfect for unwinding after a long day. It did get a bit noisy at night, but it didn’t ruin my overall experience! I’d definitely recommend bringing your own towels just in case they take a while to be refreshed. 🌴

    great pool

    Families need to pay attention

    The pool was a nice haven for the kids after a day of exploring, and they had a blast with the swings and playground. Friendly staff always made sure we had fresh towels when we needed them.

    It wasn't inexpensive but still reasonable for what we got.

    pool area
    restaurant proximity

    I enjoyed the pool area and found it perfect for hanging out. I also appreciated the proximity to a restaurant with great food, making it convenient for meals. However, I had to deal with a moldy smell in the room, which was a real problem during my stay. As someone who loves road trips through the U.S. , this was a letdown.

    outdated shower

    Perfect for Families!

    We had such a nice time! The room was spacious, big enough for our family of four, and the beds were super comfy. I loved the picnic area outside where we could chill and eat. One bummer was that the shower could've used some updates. But overall, a solid spot!

    well-maintained pool
    small room
    limited space

    During my recent stay, I found the location of Shark Reef Resort Motel & Cottages to be ideal, not far from the beach and local shops. The staff was helpful and responsive, ensuring my needs were met promptly. The swimming pool was well-maintained, providing a relaxing atmosphere after a long day of work.

    The room was smaller than expected, which may be a concern for longer stays.
