We had an amazing day at the pink Shell Resort on Fort Myers Beach. After traveling by boat we parked at the resorts marina. We received our wristbands, granting us access to the resort for the day. Comfortable lounge, chairs, and pink and white beach towels provided by the resort added to our relaxation. Our server, Stephanie, made the day truly unforgettable by serving us, poolside drinks, and lunch with exceptional attentiveness. We experienced the outdoor beach bar and enjoyed shopping in the resorts gift shop, making it a fun and memorable experience.

This place is super cute. We did a day pass and boated to the resort. Plenty of dock space and the dock hands were great. Stephanie our server by the pool was super friendly and personable. She was quick to get drinks and food and kept us happy for hours!
Can"t wait to return!

We brought our one year old here in July of 2025. We cannot say enough good things. Hands down you need to stay here if you have kids.

A big shout out to Ronald and Malachi greeting us every morning and taking care of us at breakfast that is included! They were amazing and made it feel like we were dining with family.
The beach is great and the pool is perfect. The hotel plans daily activities for the kids. We stayed in the Captiva Villa. The space was exactly what we needed and every balcony is private! We will be coming back!

Pink Shell Resort is a wonderful family-friendly resort on Fort Myers Beach. The rooms are spacious, clean, and ocean-front. There's many amenities included in your resort fee including a free buffet breakfast in an ocean front dining area, beach chairs and umbrellas, beach/pool towels available at all times, and special activities throughout the day for kids and families. There are three pools i, cluding the large "Octopool" next to the bar and restaurant. There was live music several nights, but it was also quiet after 1111 pm, perfect for families with young children. The staff were all friendly and helpful. We stayed in the Captiva building in a suite, which I highly recommend as it included a screened in room sized balcony. I highly recommend Pink Shell Resort for its location, ammenities, and superior guest experience.

The resort was really nice and clean. The employees are nice, attentive and professional. The complimentary breakfast at Jack’s was great, a lot of variety. The staff was awesome especially Mercy and Ronald. We had a fantastic dinner at Rae’s. The resort is great for families, there’s a lot of things to do for kids.
Fun and memorable experience!
