    Our stay here was wonderful! Service: outstanding: Every staff member is friendly and has a smile! The accommodation's: clean and comfortable. The atmosphere: fun yet peaceful. The music playing gives an island vibe without having a party atmosphere. Exactly what we wanted as a couple. There are people of all ages here and something for everyone including an adult pool. The breakfast is delicious and fresh with many options, including an omelette station. Ranger Rob: Great! Unfortunately due to winds our kayak trip was cancelled. He texted us early to tell us and went out of his way to get us rescheduled. He even offered us a late check out! To make it up to us he offered a nature walk to look for tortoises which was really fun! He’s a great asset to this resort and full of knowledge! Resort is walking distance to Times Square shops and restaurants as well. Last but not least the beach: the beach is gorgeous! Plenty of chairs, and kudos to the guys that put out the chairs and umbrellas every day. They restaurant servers also drive around and take orders for food and drinks on the beach. This resort is Top Notch! I was so impressed with my stay and will be sad to leave tomorrow. This was a great first visit to Fort Myers! Thank you to everyone at Pink Shell for making this the most wonderful beach birthday ever!! Read less

    We love the Pink Shell and how family friendly the resort is! We love to start our morning with the delicious breakfast at Jack’s. Danielle Lee is an amazing server. She remembered our family from previous years and even remembered our drink order! She is always so friendly, my daughters love visiting with her and we look forward to seeing her every trip. When we were there in January the resort was extremely accommodating to offer indoor kids activities throughout the day when it was cold and rainy. Ranger Rob (another favorite of ours!) had fun and educational games to enjoy instead of staying in the room all day. He is great to interact with the kids whether it is a kayak tour, around the pool, a nature walk, or helping with crafts. Now that we are home we even watch Ranger Rob’s nature videos on YouTube.

    The resort is great, very child friendly. You can rent strollers as well. They have lots of activities (many for an extra fee) for kids, which my son enjoyed much.

    The resort is great, very child friendly. You can rent strollers as well. They have lots of activities (many for an extra fee) for kids, which my son enjoyed much. We especially enjoyed the morning shell walk with Ranger Rob, he is amazing with kids and even though my son doesn't understand English, he loved it. We saw dolphins quite frequently at the beach and even some Tortoises. Ranger Rob also showes the kids critters and snake during the day. I also went on the two hour kayaking tour with Ranger Rob, where we even saw manatees. The only thing I did not like was the amount of single use plastic at the resort and the daily wrecking of the beach, which is not needed and destroys the nature. Read less
