Pink Shell Beach Resort - I greatly appreciate you; all of you who work within this resort community! Recently I called and spoke to Jade, a reservation specialist to see about an adjustment of a rate due to posting a 25% off reservation special. Jade proved to be professional, expeditious, and detailed with the information. Additionally, she offered to allow me to speak to a Supervisor (my apologies as I do not recall the name), who listened to my request fully and approved the rate reduction. Are these all basic skills that professional customer service minded employees should possess? Yes, however not all customer service employees act in a professional and courteous manner. THIS right here is the essence of a true positive customer experience - one that continues to cultivate meaningful and purposeful engagements. Thank you Pink Shell, thank you, Jade, and thank you to the Supervisor who assisted me on Thanksgiving Day. My wife and I cannot wait to see the resort and its diligent and exceptional staff in May 2025.

Went on Ranger Rob’s kayak tour on Thanksgiving 2024 and he extended the tour to make sure we were able to see a dolphin! His knowledge is top notch, and he was a stellar guide! It was a beautiful morning for a kayak and an amazing tour highly recommend!

EXCELLENT HOTEL, FOOD AND SERVICE. ESPECIALLY THE BARTENDER SARA FROM BUFFALO NEW YORK, WHO WENT OUT OF HER NORMAL DUTIES TO CALL US A GOLF CART FOR A TRIP TO OUR ROOM. WE WERE EXHAUSTGED FROM TAKING CARE OF KIDS DUE TO AN ILLNESS IN THE FAMILY. SARA WAS TERRIFIC. THE HOUSEKEEPING STAFF ALSO WAS VERY ATTENTIVE TO DETAILS.
Fantastic

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.
