The Pink Shell Resort & Marina is absolutely amazing! I took my fiancé here last week for a week stay for her birthday. I could not have asked for a better place. From the moment we arrived the staff were extremely polite, helpful, and very kind. The room was extremely clean everyday from the day we arrived until the day we left... The octopool is awesome, and jacks restaurant has a delicious breakfast every morning! We can’t wait for them to be back to 100% open and we will DEFINITELY be back! It’s an amazing place and well worth every penny!
What a find!!! As British we definitely appreciated the Malton brown toiletries, the bracelet that works as a door key, the bottled water and free tote bag! The room had brilliant facilities we were not expecting from coffee machine, full fridge, sink and plates etc. The staff were super friendly and I'm so sad we only had chance to stop one night.
This resort gets an "A" for effort! And views! And staff! And food! Fort Myers is recovering from the hurricane last year. I don't know how the Pink She'll has pulled it off but they did. They are up and running and doing an excellent job. Thank you for a phenomenal vacay, Pink Shell!
Absolutely loved this resort. We have twin babies and our villa was ready with all accommodations requested. Staff super friendly and helpful, the room was spotless and beautiful ocean and marina views. We will definitely return.
Amazing and heartwarming. The staff exceptional!! Breakfast what a treat hot and cold. The room perfect... Loved the screened in balcony right on the beach. What an amazing experience. Heartwarming on how everyone, every single staff member, with all they have and still are enduring, made this for their guests such an amazing experience I applaud everyone!!
The Pink Shell is a great place for a family vacation. They are on a beautiful spot on the beach, a short walk from Bowditch Point Park and close to Times Square,, with everything you need for a great trip. We stayed in one of the one bedroom villas and it was fantastic to have a full kitchen and laundry machine right in our room. The staff were friendly and helpful too. We'd totally go back.
