Top Shell Harbor Hotel Reviews

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Bonita Springs Naples N.

10/10 Excellent

"Na"

Extended Stay America Premier Suites - Fort Myers - Airport

8/10 Good

"Never anyone at the desk. At check-in waited over 10 minutes calling out for someone to appear. Rooms were ok in terms of furnishings and cleanliness but hallways badly in need of vacuuming. Biggest disappointment - NO breakfast at all despite being offered in the listing by Expedia. Coffee only. When asked, the staff claimed supply delivery was "late", but it seems it was missing completely, and I guess no one thought to visit a local supermarket and supply basic breakfast items."

Pink Shell Beach Resort and Marina

10/10 Excellent

"The breakfast was great with plenty of omelets, cereal, and pastries to choose from. Having free laundry on every floor was a huge plus. The staff were amazing, and the whole place was super clean. Traveling with our toddlers was easy since they loved the zero-entry pool and the sand bar on the beach. We even got lucky and saw some dolphins in the gulf one morning. We’ll definitely be back! Walmart is close by, so we were able to purchase some sand toys and whatever food we wanted to prepare in the rooms, which came with a microwave and electric stovetop."
