What guests think

At Pink Shell Beach Resort and Marina, reviewers praise the beachfront setting, friendly staff, and family-oriented amenities like multiple pools and beach chairs, while noting some drawbacks such as construction nearby and occasional service or access issues.

Rooms are often spacious with gulf views and kitchen amenities, and screened balconies are appreciated. Breakfast earns consistent praise, but on-site dining quality varies and drinks can be expensive; several reviews mention automatic gratuities and a largely cashless policy. Common nuisances include elevator and pool-area access constraints between buildings, sporadic housekeeping or maintenance hiccups, and the surrounding area's ongoing post-hurricane recovery. Expect a clean, activity-rich beachfront resort that best suits families and relaxed getaways.

The Pink Shell was an amazing property. The staff were so helpful and fun! The villa we stayed in was so clean and had everything we needed and more. I didn't realize they had washer/dryers, dishwashers, stoves etc in them. I also loved the adult only pool. The family friendly pool stayed very active and we preferred to hang out with our drinks and relax. Fort Myers Beach is still in repair after the hurricane last year. That was the only thing that I could see that would make me give it 4 stars for the area around the property. Lots of construction. But, it still was nice around the resort and loved having the bikes available as well. We will definitely come back.

THIS PLACE IS AMAZING!!! Don't bother going to crowded Margaritaville. Which is just down the street. The amenities and the STAFF HERE IS OUTSTANDING. Directly on the beach. Go from the beach to the pool all day long. They have 3 pools. Two of the are for ADULTS only and the larger one is for the kids. I can't say enough about this place. I WILL BE BACK! Sooner than later. Not a single bad thing to say about this property and I'm HARD to please. :-)

The weather wasn't great, very rainy. The cleanliness was excellent, and the front desk staff wasn't very helpful. The food and breakfast were excellent. The room rate wasn't commensurate with the price. The balcony was so small that almost two people couldn't fit. In short, nothing like the room I saw in the image on the website. The saleswoman in the store wasn't very friendly. I wouldn't rent again.

Great Location! Great staff! staff & service are excellent! They are on top of everything, they even go to the beach asking if you need something; valet parking the same, they hear you talking about going and buying ice and they just bring it to you, I mean.... The 17+ pool area is quiet and nice! We stayed at White Sands Villa 2 BR, that room is amazing! Enough space for everyone, magnificent views, you can see the sunset from the comfort of the AC through big windows. The kitchenette and washing machine are a plus. We enjoyed the stay and will definitely be back.

My partner and I were only able to stay at the Pink Shell for about a day. When we got there it was about 11am (check in is typically 3pm), the staff was so amazing they had allowed us to check in our luggage, and change to be able to enjoy all the amenities until our room was ready. The front desk were aware we weren't staying long and made sure to take the time to make sure we were aware of all the amenities, and restaurants available. I suck at names but the young lady at the front desk with blonde hair at the bottom was so amazing and helpful, she made sure to help us make a reservation for Rae's restaurant during a time we can see the sunset with the most beautiful view. Although we only stayed a day I feel like we did so much, we went to the beach, went to the adults only pool where we got to try Bob's bar, had dinner at Rae's, we also got to participate in the Free Margaritas, and of course we got to enjoy our balcony view on the 9th floor. I loved Pink Shell and will be definitely returning for a longer stay and I LOVE PINK!

We had an incredible stay at the Pink Shell in Fort Myers! The attention to detail, especially for my son, was heartwarming. From the moment we arrived, the staff went above and beyond to make our experience special. The resort’s breathtaking views of the Gulf were the perfect backdrop for a relaxing getaway. The amenities were top-notch, and the family-friendly atmosphere made it easy to unwind while keeping my son entertained. Whether it was the beach, pool, or activities, every aspect was thoughtfully designed. I can’t recommend the Pink Shell enough for families looking for a memorable and stress-free vacation. We’ll definitely be back!

One single elevator and it didn’t work half the time. Had to use stairs most of the time and when we did use stairs it came out to a dirty area with a horrendous smelling dumpster. One of the valet boys was a douche. I know they are working on fixing things after hurricane issue but if your gonna book it up and charge that kind of money you better be ready.

The amenities are great: bike rentals, kayak/paddleboards, gorgeous pools, very private area of the beach, and fitness center. Highly recommend this property for your next trip to Ft Myers Beach!

Great resort. In terms of vacations overall, it’s a little pricey, but the amenities, facilities, and staff are great. What’s disappointing, is the cost outside of the resort. FMB is still recovering from the hurricanes, and what you pay for, for dinner or shopping is expensive. I recommend utilizing taxi services, rather than paying for parking, and if you want to save a buck, leave Estero Island for shopping and dinner. Every room has a kitchenette, so buy groceries, and bring your own cooler and alcohol.

The room was great, very clean and wonderful view of the ocean. The property is beachfront. My biggest complaint about the resort is related to food options. Bongo’s restaurant is very slow with service and the quality of food is poor. We sat down and were told the food would take at least 45 minutes. The breakfast place was okay. The property definitely needs to enhance its food options. There wasn’t anywhere to go on property to buy snacks or water. The downtown area is walkable and can also be reached by a free tram that circles by around every thirty minutes. I would absolutely return to this hotel even with its flaws in dining options. The beachfront location and clean rooms were a huge plus. The pools are also very warm.
