Pelican Grand Beach Resort
Beauty on the Beach
Back to Pelican Grand Beach Resort
Beach was wonderful and staff was very helpful with recommendations and requests. Location wasn't great if you wanted to be able to walk to different places, took a cab everywhere (instead of renting a car and paying very high daily valet prices). The rooms are nice, but on older side, especially bathroom. Biggest complaint was my daughter waking up with A Lot of bug bites in the morning. Even after they changed the sheets she continued to have this problem. If you go, ck the mattress for bed bugs, we should have!!!

We read wonderful things and couldn't wait to go! YIKES! We saw rats running around everynight. Yes, RATS! front desk was little concerned. ~ They said that they would call their exterminator, Orkin, again. On my 3rd night, I actually screamed. My son was trying to photograph them. Stayed Aug 14 -18. Hotel staff could care less. When confronting them they apologized and smiled and told me to have a nice day in the same breath.

I just loved our time at the Pelican. We didn't want to leave! The room was beautiful, clean and spacious. The beds were very comfortable. Housekeeping and staff were very attentive. Check-in was a breeze. The lobby is very pretty. Everything was clean, clean, clean. The balconies and views are unbelievable!! Food in the restaurants were delicious. We have a double queen suite on the ocean. Incredible! I loved the long winding deck/porch at beach level - so relaxing. I just can't say enough. Be sure to ask for ocean side. But all of the rooms have beautiful views especially if you are above the 3rd or 4th floor. Intracoastal on one side and Ocean on the other. Shopping and restaurants were within minutes.

My husband and I were there for four days in March 2008 and loved it. Very relaxing, staff was wonderful. My only complaint was that there was no warning about the jellyfish in the water (found out later they were Portugese Man of War) or strong riptides during the very windy weather we had. Fortunately we weren't stung, but we had no idea what they were until I looked for "blue jellyfish" on the computer. Food was good but expensive. A car is definitely helpful. No problems with the in-room internet connection. If you can afford it, definitely get a room with an ocean view to enjoy the magnificant sunrise! It felt like we were on a cruise.

Our experience was awful, as we laid in bed we started itching. We took the sheets off and looked at the mattress and found bed bugs. We will never go back!

We stayed the last two days of our vacation were very happy with the entire stay! Wish we would have known about it sooner we would have spent more time there. The room was clean, the view was

This hotel is situated right on the beach and we absolutely loved its cleanliness. The only thing that we found negative was there was only 1 restaurant and menu prices were a bit high for a family of 5. It would have been nice to have another more affordable restaurant where we could have had our meals. Other than that, we highly recommend this hotel for its location and cleanliness.

I think one reason this hotel has had a number of negative reviews is that some of us remember it as the family-owned Pelican Beach resort with a Best Western affiliation and a warm, family-owned atmosphere _ and one of the best complimentary continetal breakfasts I've ever experienced. Parking was also free. The accommodation was comfortable, but not luxurious, but it was good value considering the wonderful location.

The beach was great, the staff was awesome. We had some problems with our check-in and the front desk assured us it would be ok, gave us keys, and called our room to let us know everything was fine. The hotel was a little far for the "happening" part of the beach. The room was spectacular and the view was even better. The vallet parking could be a little more inexpensive. GREAT TIME!
