Best for families and groups who want an on-site water park, lazy river, and a private-island beach shuttle.

Best for travelers who want direct Gulf beachfront rooms, a marina for water activities, and Fort Myers Beach location.
When Hyatt Regency Coconut Point Resort & Spa wins: choose Hyatt if your trip centers on family-friendly pool time — the resort’s three-acre water park, multiple waterslides, lazy river and several distinct pools (including an adults-only pool) give you more on-site water options than a typical beachfront resort.
When Pink Shell Beach Resort and Marina wins: pick Pink Shell if you prioritize staying on Fort Myers Beach with immediate beach access, an on-site marina and a compact beachfront-resort feel with three outdoor pools and direct water-sport options.
Bottom line: both resorts suit family stays, but Hyatt is the better pick for on-site water-park fun and resort-scale programming; Pink Shell is the straightforward choice for Gulf-front rooms and marina access in Fort Myers Beach.
