I went away for a long weekend, Thursday through Sunday, for our annual girls' weekend away. I chose this resort after reading many reviews on many different places. Last year we stayed at the Ritz Carlton in South Beach. After reading some of the negative reviews, I became nervous and even thought about changing at the last minute. Boy, am I glad that we didn't! The Pelican Grand Beach Resort is a wonderful hotel. The staff could not have been any nicer and accommodating. We were greeted at the front door by Richard, the bellman, who showed us all the hotel amenities. We arrived at 12:30 and were immediately checked into our room. Our queen, ocean front suite was absolutely charming. The decor was beachy and inviting. The room was spotless. While it is not within walking distance to restaurants, cabs were not expensive and easy to get. The bellmen called for them each night for us and our wait was no longer than five minutes. Tom, the pool waiter, suggested delicious restaurants each night. We had three wonderful meals at Arubas, Mangos and Spazios. The hotel restaurant also served great lunches. The bartenders and managers at the front desk went out of their way to make our stay memorable. They even got us a piece of wedding cake from the wedding that had taken place there earlier in the day. It never seemed like we were asking too much or bothering them. The lazy river is wonderful. The view is beautiful, and this resort is, by far, one of the nicest I have stayed at, and I travel alot. It is definitely a five star!!!!! We will definitely be returninig.

This hotel was beautiful. It is located on the beach which was great for evening and morning walks.

We had a HUGE room overlooking the ocean and the pool at the end of the hall. I do wish the closet was larger.

There is not only a pool but a lazy river as well. In the afternoon there was also a BBQ where you could purchase lunch at a fairly reasonable price.

We had dinner in the hotel's restaurant. The food was decent and the service was great. In the morning we had breakfast out on the deck at the restaurant. The service was poor because there was not enough staff to take care of all the guests.

The service was fantastic out by the pool and pretty good at the front desk. They did allow us to check in early which allowed us to use the facilities all day.

  • Liked — Location was fantastic
  • Disliked — Breakfast staffing

This hotel was rated with three stars. My family and I was pleasantly suprised by the spacious room with beautiful view of the ocean. The pool was crowded and seating limited but overall we had a great time.

My husband and I just loved this hotel! All was Perfect! We had stayed in the Sheraton Yankee Clipper the night before and couldn't wait to get out of it. The Pelican Grand Beach Resort couldn't have been any cleaner. The room was spacious and the view was wonderful. Room service and food was also with no complaints. We will definitely stay there again if we are in the area.

My husband and I stayed at the Pelican Grand last week and had a great time! I was super paranoid after reading some bad reviews but we had an awesome vacation. We were definitely one of the few couples without children but we spent most of our days at the beach while the pool was crowded with families. Everyone on the staff was really nice, held our bags before check in, told us where we could find a local gym, etc..I would suggest a rental car because we were in and out all the time.
Our room was on the corner and you could see the ocean from every view. The decor was cute, the bed was huge and the room itself was clean.
This is definitely not a swinging singles spot but if you are just looking to relax on the beach I would definitely recommend the pelican grand!
