Stayed at this hotel for 2 nights before leaving on a cruise. We absolutely loved it! The front desk staff was so friendly and helpful and we were upgraded to a king suite with an ocean view that was amazing. The bed was so comfortable! The food in both the restaurant and the bar was very good. It was so... More

Good hotel. One cannot get closer to the ocean or beach. You can sit on the veranda and just about put your feet in the water. The hotel is a little off the beaten path but that can be a good thing. Very comfortable bed and large room. Staff was good - did not eat at the hotel as we... More

Dear Denver-Rosie, Thank you so much for your comments on Trip Advisor. You are correct in that you cannot find a hotel in Ft. Lauderdale closer to the water. It is great to read that you enjoyed you r stay and our location. We like to think we are close enough but still just far enough away from the strip... More

My son and his fiancee chose this location to have their wedding, so I thought I should check it out first by spending a weekend there. we arrived early and the desk clerk could have checked us in to an "ocean view" room immediately, but she advised us that she would have a larger room with a balcony available by...

We stayed at the Pelican Grand for one night before our cruise. We had no problem checking in and the front desk staff is very nice. We got a queen suite ocean front room which was very spacious. Not the cleanest hotel room I've been in, but can't beat the view and size. There were two queen beds in the... More

We are discerning and picky about cleanliness, friendly staff,food, service and accurate description. We do not mind paying if we get what we pay for. We can not say enough good things. We stayed 5 nights and had guests stay for 3 nights in separate rooms. All were very happy with the entire resort. Breakfast on the veranda in the... More

Love the old Southern Mansion look. Love that it is off the strip and the rates reflect that depending on the time of year & holiday's. Beach is beautiful and not crowded...enjoyed a massage on the beach with white curtains up all around for privacy...nothing better than the sound of waves for your background. Food was very good but service... More

WE decided to eat christmas lunch here because of 1) price - only 59$ ++ for the buffet and 2) location - on the beach. WE were not disappointed.

I read many negative reviews about this hotel. My only negative comment is that couldn't stay longer. The lazy pool is by no means a "kiddy pool". It's small but I managed to enjoy time floating in the inner tube. The rooms were great. We had a room overlooking the ocean. The decor was a tastefully done "Old Havannah" style.... More
