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.

I arrived at the resort on September 21st , 2024 . It was my 74th birthday. We were a group of 13. We had dinner at the Italian restaurant on site. Wonderful food and ambiance. The waiter brought me a fantastic dessert that said Happy Birthday & my family sang the birthday song. Happiest birthday ever. We were 4 generations together. Breakfast was awesome. So much to choose from and all so tasty ! Kile & Devin were our waiters and they were so cute and attentive. We loved them. My room was great ! We were at the resort during hurricane Helene. The staff was so helpful . They had an awesome cleanup crew come in and the cleanup was swift. I loved the Pink Shell Beach Resort & hope to return some day soon. Thank you for a wonderful vacation and a fascinating storm to experience. My family felt safe with you .
