"We enjoyed our first visit to the Pink Shell. We took advantage of the bikes included in the resort fee to explore Estero Blvd and used them to go to dinner near Times Square, as it was faster than driving. We also enjoyed dinner at Rae's Italian. Beautiful location and property. Breakfast at Jack's was great. Here's a tip: Get your grab and go coffee at the entrance to Jack's (from the Captiva elevator) instead of the Keurig coffee in..."

"This is a beautiful property located right on the beach in Ft. Myers Beach! There is so much to do around the area and on the property itself, from complementary bike rentals, kayak rentals, movie nights, poolside activities, and delicious restaurants to grab any meal! Breakfast was INCREDIBLE and had the best omelet I have ever had - prepared by a super nice man named Freddy! I personally met the Housekeeping Director and Manager during my stay and both Diana..."

"Returned to PSBR after such a phenomenal stay in 2025. This time we extended our stay to 7 nights . The resort is absolutely fabulous in every way. Staff is so friendly and go out of their way to make your stay as enjoyable as possible. From the person who takes care of the room to the valets and the cooks/ servers at Jake’s all obviously love working at PSBR. The breakfast consists of most anything you could ask for,..."

"Excellent value for a family vacation. Hot breakfast to die for -- luxuriant, delicious, bacon-rific... If Ronald is your server you will love it even more. Staff is super nice -- always so friendly. The beach chair and umbrellas are heaven on earth... If you burn in the sun. these umbrellas will keep you completely shaded and cool. We came AGAIN! THREE TIMES! I highly recommend! Also, 3 planets after sunset: Venus, Mercury, and Saturn! Good job Pink Shell!"

"The Pink Shell Resort truly delivered some of the best service we’ve ever experienced while traveling. The staff was exceptional, and the beach itself is absolutely gorgeous. We especially appreciated the adults-only pool, which was peaceful and a perfect place to relax. There were a couple of downsides worth noting. The traffic getting on and off the island can be challenging. If you stay on the island, you’ll likely be fine, but we boated out of Salty Sam’s Marina just..."

"Even though we were only there for a couple days, everything was great. Loved walking right out to the beach then coming back for a great breakfast at Jack's. Pools were very nice too. We liked that there is one adults only pool if you want some quiet for a while. Gary the front desk manager was an added bonus. He helped us with an airline issue and was very accommodating and friendly. We will be back!"

"Our 10-day stay at the Pink Shell Beach Resort & Marina was nothing short of amazing—especially traveling with two little kids! From the moment we arrived, it felt like the perfect family getaway. My kids absolutely loved the pools and could have spent all day splashing around. The beach time was just as magical—soft sand, beautiful views, and plenty of space for them to play and explore. It was the kind of trip where every day felt easy, fun, and..."

"My wife and I, in our 60's, wanted a 3 night winter retreat in Florida. We used a standard AI program and gave it a list of amenities we strongly desired. AI gave us a list of locations across all of Florida and Pink Shell was #1 on the list. Website looked awesome so we chose. The Pink Shell delivered! Completely enjoyed everything about the stay. There are a Goldilocks of 3 buildings, the active/vibrant main building above the Octopool,..."
