Nice little place to stay for one or two night, room is small & services are very limited.

I will try something different for my next trip to Fort Lauderdael. Best Western Pelican Hotel right on the beach a little north of Sunrise Blvd., most of the room are ocean front plus a nice restaurant on the first floor.

My husband and I just got back from spending three nights at this hotel. We normally stay at the Hyatt Pierr 66, but I wanted to try something different for us. Overall, this place was wonderful. My only caveat would be that it is very quiet ...and that is not a bad thing if that is what you are searching for.

Our room was fairly small but it had, and I mean it, the BEST bed I have ever slept on. It was a contradiciton, in that it was very firm but felt like you were sinking into acres of down. I had been suffering from insomnia for a bit...and I slept like a baby here. (Speaking of babies...or kids in general...I don't think they would like it here nor would the parents feel comfortable).

We had a ground floor unit, and, like others have said, it was fairly small. BUT, it was exactly seven steps out of our room to "our" chairs by the pool. So we didnt have to drag everything we owned out to the pool area. If we forgot something, we just walked over and got it. The pool area itself is fairly small with a few sets of deck chairs set around. People would come out and sit for a bit and there was some quiet conversation but most of us were reading books or having a private massage outside.

There are some tables set out on the little dock area and every morning my husband and I would have a nice continental breakfast delivered out there to start our morning. It was wonderful.

When it was time for a little action, we waddled the two blocks to the main drag where there were some restraunts and enjoyed that a lot. In the morning, after we ate our breakfast, we headed this way too and took a couple mile saunter along the beach.

The water Taxi will stop at the dock at The Pillars, and we took that one night to Las Olas Blvd. for dinner. (That's the area that has many different eateries ) Just a warning here....it took over an hour for the boat to take us to our destination. (We figured a regular taxi would have taken about three minutes or so). However, it was a soft spring evening and the water Taxi driver told us a lot about some of the beautiful mansions we were passing, so we quite enjoyed it. Just keep the time in mind if you have dinner reservations.

We would highly recommend this place for the stressed out among you and those that want a little quiet romance. It is really a special oasis of tranqulity in this hectic world!

For anyone who wants a small hotel, that is near to perfect as possible, this is it.
Ideal situation, a river boat taxi that stops at this hotel, very clean and welcoming rooms, attentive staff, attractive gardens, and your own chef if you have an evening meal!
Have no doubts about this hotel - book it now - it is very definitely five star quality!

Spent a night at the Pillars... beautiful environment. They said the suite would be great for two couples. It turned out the second bed was a pull-out sofa. What a rough night! And now they deny recommending the suite...
