The new building is fabulous and accomodation is similar or close to a Marriott timeshare. However, when booking through Interval they will put you in the old building. The photos shown on their website doesn't reflect the condition of the rooms (smell, cleanliness etc). This is where you will be staying no matter what your level of timeshare is (Premium... more

Just celebrated my 10th wedding anniversary at the Pelican Marina and it was excellent. We were greeted by our personal concerige which made for a warm welcome. The lobby was beautiful so I couldn't wait to see the room. The view from our room was breathtaking over looking 1 of the 6 pools and the ocean! Very very clean and... more

Orginally, I was scheduled to stay in the A building. I did not like it so I changed the room out right to a B buliding. Each building has their own pool which is great. The F building is on the beach. I found the hotel being all right accomodation. I never have any expectations when I travel out of... more

Resort good but not as good to Aruba. We can now knock that island off our bucket list. The island was very expensive. more

My wife and I just returned from SXM last weekend and stayed at the Pelican for a week. I have been to SXM five times and this place was the biggest dump I have ever stayed in and I have travelled a lot. I was given the opportunity to stay there as a guest by a client who owns timeshares... more

We stayed at the pelican B building b352--we had a loooong walk up the hill, but they provided vans to take you if you didn't want to walk. (like carrying groceries). Our unit was a corner unit 1 bedroom and did have airconditioning in the bedroom & living room. We didn't know other units did not have it until we... more

Pelican Resort in St. Maarten is a time share. Simply put, the older units are fine, clean, but old timeshares. You are on vacation, and hopefully not spending much time there anyway. The new Marina Residences are pretty, but very poor workmanship. I would never buy here. No beach to speak of there, especially compared to other nice beaches on... more

Now, a week after I left Pelican, in a "studio for 4," I still have this question: does the "friendliness" of the so-called "personal concierges" (or really low-pressure time-share salespeople?) compensates for near total incompetence, belligerent laziness, total lack of friendliness to the point of angry outbursts of everyone else (sans the ladies at checkout desk and a parking lot... more

We were at the Pelican Resort timeshare for a week, Sept 13 - 20, 2009. It was a wonderful resort with great views, scenery, and staff. The restaurant food was very, very good! We were in St. Maarten earlier in the year as our cruise ship docked for several hours - we knew we wanted to go back and spend... more
