Seashells Scarborough

This was our third stay at Seashells Scarborough, however our last visit was around five years ago and unfortunately the standard has declined. The apartment was in very poor condition and clearly in need of renovation. The carpet was heavily stained throughout and there was a strong musty smell, so we had to keep doors and windows open. Within minutes of arriving, my daughter — who has allergies to dust and mould — began sneezing and developed a runny nose, requiring antihistamines. I raised this with the manager and was told the apartment was independently owned. While I understand this, the booking was made under the Seashells name and guests should still expect a consistent 4-star standard. We were also told some renovated apartments are listed through Airbnb, which was disappointing given the price paid. This apartment felt closer to a 2-star standard at best. Other issues included a non-functional sliding door, peeling outdoor furniture, a musty couch, and one pool appearing cloudy. The location is excellent, but unfortunately the condition of the apartment let the stay down.

We stayed in unit 8 Collections. While the unit, bedding and towels were spotless the furniture was spotted with stains and one chair had a hole in the fabric. Photo attached. We placed a blanket over the couch as there was nothing we could do as apparently these are all privately owned. Perhaps the owners could do a steam clean and new insets for saggy cushions.We did inform our travel agent so others could avoid this unit. We enjoyed the heated pool. Unfortunately there was a unit being renovated and the tradesman swept the dust residue from the 2nd floor on to us as we sat by the pool showering us with tile debris. He obviously didn’t look down. I suppose Seashells staff had to clean it up! |The position was perfect for our holiday.

Staying at this beachside hotel offered an unforgettable experience with breathtaking sunset views, luxurious accommodations, and impeccable service that made every moment truly extraordinary.

Well appointed rooms, good location, close to beach, shops & entertainment. Very nice stay, I would go again. On-site parking was hit & miss.

We had a two night stay here. Incredible location and rooms are beautifully modern indoors with fantastic kitchen amenities. However, a big let down was the cleanliness. Our feet were black from walking around barefoot indoors. Thick layers of dust were visible on all blinds. The unit could do with a good deep clean to bring back up to acceptable standards. Such a shame as if clean would be an outstanding place to stay.

Inside of apartment looks a lot newer than the external facade. Apartment is clean, functional and has washer and dryer . Furniture is tad old and dated but overall a pleasant stay. Plus point is that the gorgeous beach, Coles and some eateries are within walking distance. Only gripe is that walls are a bit thin and we were woken up by noise / movements fr neighbouring units.

Good view. Nice and clean. Parking is good. Walking distance to resteraunts, parks, scenic pics.

Great location straight across from the beach, sunsets are stunning! A short walk to beach for swimming which is great, especially with kids! The deluxe 2 bedroom apartment was great for our family. Everything we needed was supplied. Only disappointment is the pool is under maintenance. But overall we recommend, we enjoyed our stay.
