Alden Pines 4 Stars Hotels

"This was our first stay at the Pink Shell, and it truly exceeded our expectations. The views from our villa were breathtaking. Pictured is our balcony view of the gulf and our bedroom view of the bay - both simply gorgeous. Every aspect of the villa was well thought out - practical, lots of storage, clean, and lovely. The staff was incredible - friendly, helpful, warm and inviting. We were there during a cold spell, yet still were able to enjoy the pools which were comfortably heated. The beach was amazing, with all the amenities, like chairs, umbrellas, and food/drink service. Although we dined off site for most of our meals, the complimentary breakfast buffet was fabulous. So many choices, and they changed up the selections daily. We booked this trip on a whim and felt like we hit the jackpot. We will be back Pink Shell - many thanks!"

"This is quite the oasis! It is surrounded by water. Guests have access to one pool and two additional pools a short distance away at a health center. The food on site is good, with additional restaurants on the property (marina side). There is a free boat trip each day to look for dolphins and other marine life. The room had a balcony overlooking the calm marina, which made it just perfect. Parking is easy in a covered parking garage on the property. I liked it so much I booked an additional night. The staff was reasonably friendly but not outgoing. Also, no Starbucks on site or very nearby. Otherwise, great place. "

"Resort was very nice. Gym needs more cleaning. Bar staff very gracious. Front desk staff courteous. Valet-all staff outstanding!!"
