Mango Bay

One of the best shops in ft Myers beach! Good staff, big selection. Don’t only go here go to others as well!

Nice store, but. .. They close at 9:00 p.m., and start turning the lights out on you at 8:45 p.m. They made us feel most unwelcome, and when my wife asked, at 8:50 p.m. if my daughter could try on a suit (no refunds or exchanges), we were told, «We’ll be here at 9:00 a.m. tomorrow.» So much for customer service.

Can’t give it zero stars but if I could I would. Bought a swimsuit bottom for my fiancé and thought if she didn’t like it she could exchange it, not so even though the receipt says no refunds, exchanges only. So when we went in to exchange they said it was Florida law that they couldn’t be exchanged even though they were never worn and the guard on the bottoms was never touched. The employee advised us that there is a sign on the counter… the same counter that the merchandise was on so you can never see it. The clerk never said a thing about it and looked as if she was a foreigner.
Another employee came over and said we could exchange it but came over a short time later to tell us that she had spoke with the manager who said that it was the law that they couldn’t exchange. We then left.
I did some searching on the net and actually found the Florida statute website and found that there was nothing when I searched ‘bathing suit’ or ‘swimwear’ so really not sure what the clerks were talking about when they were referring to the ‘law’
I think that the business is in it for the tourists and don’t want to deal with returns. If this is the case they should just post that on a big sign. As far as the sign on the counter… utterly useless.
Not going to be a return customer… and we stay here every year. Just saying’

3.5 stars.
I happen to love schlocky beach souvenir stores. They are endlessly entertaining to me, and Mango Bay ranks among some of the best I’ve found based on sheer size and volume alone. They’ve got the requisite flamingo-​in-​the-​sunset beach towels; boobie bottle openers; seashell encrusted jewelry boxes; build-​your-​own rock collections; plastic thermometer magnets; gold lamé bikinis; beer stein sunglasses, etc. etc. etc.
But there’s two levels of it. And hidden corners of it. A whole wall devoted to magnets. Entire shelves of shot glasses. It goes on, and on, and on. Unless I’m re-​upping a piña colada, it’s rare I leave the beach during daylight hours. But if it’s raining in Fort Myers Beach, you just might find me hidden amongst the infinite merchandise at Mango Bay.
