The hotel

This luxury property nestles along a ¼-mile stretch of sugar white sand at the tip of Estero Island on Florida’s popular Gulf Coast. The resort is spread out over a generous 12 acres on which you’ll find the fun-filled Octopool freeform pool featuring waterfall, giant shells, sponges and more. Relax and unwind in the Aquagëne Spa, or around one of the three swimming pools or for the more energetic, enjoy a sailing lesson at the resort’s exclusive offshore sailing school.

We just checked out from a 3+ day stay at Pink Shells and we were completely impressed. What a great place for families...lots of things to do. PS has many activities for kids, live music on weekends and weekday evenings. Many beach amenities for free...kayaks, paddle boards, beach chairs, umbrellas, etc. You can rent wave runners. Bar on the beach is handy and you can order food. Everyone on the staff is very friendly and helpful. Spa was great. Highly recommend Pink Shells for couples and especially families looking for a fun and nice vacation location. Ft Myers beach also has a slew of good restaurants. We’ll definitely come back!

Second trip to Pink Shell. First was through a travel agent on spur of the moment because Naples Beach & Golf Club was full. This time it was chosen on purpose. Rooms are clean & laundry is adequate. Beach amenities, food & service is very good. The adult area pool is perfect. Wave runners are well-maintained, as well as paddle boards, umbrellas,… Read more

I have never visited Fort Myers Beach before so I was a little nervous about the accommodations at first, but quickly felt great about the Pink Shell. Initially out door was hard to open, maintenance was up immediately to do a quick fix, roll out couch was uncomfortable-roll away bed was quickly brought into room. The customer service is obviously a priority within this resort. Our servers Yan, host-Tino, all were exceptional, very friendly. Food was good and reasonable. Read less

We stayed at the Pink Shell Resort in a room that had a balcony facing the Gulf for sunsets and a balcony facing the intercostal for sunrises! I was PERFECT! They room was very clean. Free breakfast was basic buffet free breakfast but was consumable. Location was at the quiet end of the island, which I enjoyed. There is a free and paid trolley you can get on right outside the hotel. This was a fabulous option since most places by the restaurants/bars you had to pay for parking. I would go back here in the future! Read less
