I’m giving this bar 5 stars because we were able to go out parasailing, come in the resort drenched & grab a drink (a good drink!) at the bar while we sunned & tried to dry off! The bartender helped make our drinks *really* good, too! They make you feel truly special here, too!

Very cool place to hang around the pool. Burgers are amazing. Drinks are great. Sometimes a bit noisy. But LOVE. LOVE the Pink Shell. So will continue to go to Bongo’s

If you don’t want to deal with all the traffic to get to the beach this is a great place! Valet your car have some drinks and food and hit the beach!

Good food and excellent service. The issue is during dinner time( after dark ), because in order to protect turtles’ nesting patterns the hotel is basically dead at night. The restaurant has no music, no tv and you are basically using the moonlight to see the menu and the food, etc…

Out of all the poolside restaurants I’ve been to, this is definitely the best. It’s overpriced for sure (they all are), but the food is actually really good and there is a decent selection for kids and adults. As for the drinks…depends on the bartender you get. You definitely learn which ones are more generous with the pours than others!

We’ve ate here twice now (on our arrival night. We’ve stayed at Pink Shell 2 years in a row now). This place had extremely slow service both times. Which is made even more terrible when you’ve just arrived after a long day of traveling, everyone is starving, and you have a toddler on the verge of a hangry meltdown. We waited around 10 minutes before a server acknowledged us, another 10 before our order was taken, another 15 before the drinks arrived (which were very basic: a beer, a glass of wine & a chocolate milk), and another 15 before the simple, overpriced meal arrived. My toddler got a $9 hotdog, I got a $16 chicken rice dish and my husband got three fish tacos for $16. So the tab was $70, which kind of hurts when you knew better than to give this place another shot but by the time you realized it, you’re committed and trapped because there’s no other easy options at that point. I highly recommend avoiding this place if you want quick service. The positives: the guy playing guitar, and the food was warm.

This place is getting one star because their drinks had good flavor, but not much alcohol….and don’t even think about eating at this place, price is way to high for the food! High school nachos for $16 and doesn’t come with any meat, that’s $3 more dollars! The service is horrible as well but I guess we can blame it on Covid! $96 for two kids meals high school Nacho with no meat, coconut shrimp appetizer and one french fry!

Not your typical bar food. Everything was fresh and delicious. And we were really surprised at how reasonably priced the menu was.

Alli is the BEST server Bongos has . We’ve been coming to Pink Shell for over 15 years and never had a more attentive and personable server! Hope she’s still with them next year! Deb S.
