Just coming to the end of our week at Pink Shell. We have stayed at FMB several times before but first time here and this is definitely the place we would return to. We had a room on the 8th floor of the main hotel. It was excellent. Very clean, modern bathroom, all you could need in the kitchen and very comfortable chairs on the balcony. Breakfast was good. The guy on the egg/omelette station certainly knew his stuff.
The Italian restaurant was good but we also ate at the Snug Harbour locally, which we enjoyed. View from balcony is exceptional. Beach is so clean and amazing to walk along. Lack of birds since the hurricanes.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. From booking to checking out, we had such a wonderful experience. Myra checked us in. She was very helpful and kind. We had gorgeous weather throughout our entire stay. We stayed in the Captiva Villa, which was beautiful. We had all the amenities of home. It was exceptional and immaculate. Most of the TV Channels didn’t work, which was weird, so we called the front desk who sent us up Mark, from Engineering. He knew his stuff and understood why. He explained it was the satellite and a lot of the channels don’t work. They have to get things fixed about that, but meanwhile, he offered us a free movie at no charge. How sweet was that? Our housekeeper, MARIA, was outstanding. Friendly thorough and had a great personality. These folks I just mentioned are keepers and they are a blessing to have on staff. I’m sure there are many more. Everyone was very friendly there. We did eat it raised one evening. It was delicious. We also ate at bongos bar and Grill and had a meal there we had lunch there another time. The food is very good. There are a lot of fun activities to do also. We love The Pink Shell. We really enjoyed ourselves and we will definitely be back!!!

We moved plans to the Pink Shell after another resort was hurt badly from Hurricane Milton. We could not have ben happier. The crew at the Pink Shell had the place up an running after Hurricane Milton in less than a week. All staff we interacted with at the Pink Shell were fantastic. All were accommodating, pleasant, and had top notch customer service. Top shout outs to Michael, Mathew, Chris, Naomi, CiCi, Gary, Carlos, and Denise. They all made the 50th birthday weekend for my wife a lifelong memorable experience. We will certainly be back again!!!

My wife & I just spent 4 days & 3 nights at the Pink Shell Resort and we had a very relaxing and enjoyable time. This getaway was in celebration of my birthday & we found that the resort exceeded our expectations in so many positive ways !
The staff went above & beyond to treat us with outstanding customer service from check-in, to valet and bellhop, to pool and beach area & food services - everything was truly a positive experience.
Of particular - Chester Thomas was so very warm & engaging - plus we bonded on our love of Miami Sports Teams which we chatted about in detail. Along with Chester - Alex
Damien, Jenn. & Kiki all provided us with the highest level of quality customer service.
We jet-skied, ate at Rae’s & Bongo’s, and enjoyed the daily breakfast at Jack’s. A drive into Cape Coral on Saturday for their Farmer’s Market was also enjoyable .. & off-site dinner at Roadhouse Cafe and ice cream at The Love Boat was delicious!
We look forward to returning soon with our extended family.
