“Top hotel in Fort Lauderdale.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 2, 2013

This hotel enjoys a fantastic position overlooking the sea and the great views are available throughout most of this wonderful hotel. Very large and clean rooms with extra comfy beds and really excellent staff. They are very kind and friendly and want to please the guests. I especially liked the white rocking chairs on the terrace off the reception area. The pool was wonderful and never overly busy which was nice. We really enjoyed our stay here and can happily reccommend this hotel!

Stayed January 2013, traveled as a couple

“Leroy Pool & Beach”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 31, 2013

Leroy was outstanding. I think the Pool/Beach attendants at a Resort that is highly dependent on guests opinion of the beach is very important. Leroy did a fantastic job. He was very polite and gave top notch service. He made sure the chairs and umbrellas were set up in the best locations and gave it his full attention. We were very pleased with his professionalism and his attentive care.

Room Tip: Ocean front was very nice. Parking fees high so take a taxi;O)

“Ocean View Could Not Be Beat”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 27, 2013

Last year my Partner and I stayed at a different Ft. Lauderdale hotel and only did a walk thru of the Pelican and thought the lobby and location was fantastic, which is why we stayed there this year. Although the hotel rooms are a bit tired, they are clean, large and combined with a very professional, attentive and friendly staff the hotel overall was great. Restaurant, lounge and icream parlor were also awesome. If you are there over a Sunday...you have to do the Sunday brunch. Price seems high, but let me tell you...it was well worth it and based on the caliber of the food, I would have paid more.

Room Tip: We had a King oceanfront suite...it could not be beat.

“Great for relaxation.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 23, 2013 via mobile

We had a wonderful experience at the Pelican Grand. The views were wonderful. The pool was awesome. Perhaps we were just lucky, but the pool was never too crowded when we were there. The staff was all very friendly. I was especially appreciative of the valet staff. They always got our car very quickly and were knowledgable about the area. We only ate at the hotel once and the food was good.

My only compliant is the lack if wifi. The room had wired Internet which could not be used with an iPad.
