Shell Key Preserve Hotels

"We initially booked a queen room with a pullout couch. It was okay. We took a peak at the rooftop patio (soon to be bar) and felt the building was a lot nicer and decided to look into upgrading. We were able to upgrade to a two bedroom, two bath room with a great view of the ocean. It was absolutely wonderful. We have already planned our next trip back down. The room was spacious, clean, plenty of supplies. Although, you need your own laundry detergent. The washer and dryers in the room are amazing. The pool area is small, but it’s what we enjoy. Intimate and not overly busy. Beach is perfect. I do wish chairs and umbrellas were included with the booking of the room. There is a third party on the beach offering chairs and umbrellas for $40 per day. Less than 5 minute walk to John’s Pass! WAY more pros than cons. Cannot wait to return! "

"Great"

"We stayed here for 5 nights with our 5 month old baby for a little R&R away from the northeast. We are so happy we chose The Don. It is an interesting and beautiful historic property right on a gorgeous beach with pools and several nice spots to eat and drink on site. The place is well managed and we felt very well take care of. From day 1, what made our experience were the wonderful people who work throughout the resort. Special shoutouts to Diana, the server at The Rowe Bar who gave us helpful tips on things to check out in the area, Jackie who kept the drinks and good vibes coming at the pool, and Yven and Jeckson from the coffee and gelato bar. The housekeeping staff were all super friendly and took great care of the room everyday. Dennis and the valet and bell teams got us in and out efficiently whenever we stepped out. We were able to get into St Pete to visit the Pier area a few nights and it was a very short drive. The list of excellent people working here goes on and on. We would definitely recommend The Don and would love to come back."
