I stayed here for a short business trip. It I rated by this site as #2. It is like a two star hotel in America. It was not cheep but pricy at over 150.00 per night on a Monday. Nothing special about this room. Few guests were staying here. I selected this place because it showed pictures of a lap... More

Dear Zumachris, Although your review is somewhat confusing, we thank you for shedding light on a concern we need to address. Our hotel has not authorized any use of false advertisement of amenities offered by our hotel. Our own website does not promote a lap pool or a fitness facility so I apologize if you received this information from a... More

After initially booking a trip to a hotel in the same city that was much less than we had anticipated, and staying less than 24 hours, we packed up and left and found Pelican Bay. It was a lovely hotel with pretty grounds, 3 pools, and a single restaurant, along with an offering of a breakfast buffet, (at an extra... More

The hotel was a great headquarters for us going bonefishing with H2o and we enjoyed the nearby Sabor Restaurant immensely. What keeps this hotel from a better rating are a handful of small things but that end up detracting from the overall enjoyment: * dreadfully poor lighting in the bedrooms. It wouldn't take much to fix this: ditch the decorative... More

IDK. I'm beginning to lose confidence in TA reviews and ratings. I booked a last minute trip to Freeport on a whim and scouted TA for suggestions on places to stay. Coral Reef was #1 but it was completely booked, apparently, so I went with reviewers' second best - Pelican Bay I booked through their website which turned out to... More

Dear DCTim, We thank you for providing a review regarding your stay! What is most important to us is that you had a great experience on Grand Bahama Island. While Pelican Bay has never marketed itself as being on the beach, we are certainly happy to ensure that guests coming to Grand Bahama have a wonderful stay and it is... More

My son got married in April, 2013 at Pelican Bay. It is a lovely venue for a wedding. The staff went above and beyond to make it a classy and fun affair. The food was excellent and the reception room was beautifully decorated. The hotel provides access to the beach which is across the street. The rooms are spacious, but... More

This hotel is beautiful and the staff is peerless. We spent five days here. The location is adjacent to the Port Lucaya Marketplace, a mixed blessing. Once you walk it and shop it, there is no reason to go back. On the positive side, it is also next to UNEXSO, a mecca for reef divers. The rooms are large and... More

A truly wonderful hotel, beautifully decorated rooms and surroundings. Although it's not situated on the beach, you only have a five minute walk to enjoy the beautiful golden sands and crystal clear waters. The hotel has a lovely quiet pool area/bar and a great restaurant onsite too. The main village area of Pt. Lucaya with numerous bars and restaurants is... More

We had a really nice vacation getaway at Pelican Bay! We stayed in a suite and were blown away by the size and ammenities of the room. I can't imagine the cost to decorate one room in this hotel.

We just stayed last week and loved it, a stones thro from the market. Very clean room, people were very nice and helpful. We plan to go back. The only issue was used condoms outside our patio door, there does not appear to be a person who cleans the grounds daily, other then that it was great!!!!!

This hotel is gorgeous! Our room had a separate bedroom which added a special touch. The main pool was amazing and beautiful at night. The breakfast was pretty good. The decor is very cool and island vibe themed. Not one complaint about this place!
