There are many beautiful hotels in Ft. Lauderdale and surrounds and this hotel is beautiful as well, but what makes it special is the friendliness of the staff. The staff acts like they are really happy to be there and it makes you happy to be there! The Best Western Pelican Beach is a brand new hotel sitting right on the beach. There is the old Pelican Beach as well. We stayed there from March 17 - 23, 2005. The first two nights we spent in the new hotel which of course is new. What could be bad. But the rest of the trip we spent in the old hotel which we liked better than the new one. We had a king suite overlooking the ocean with a little kitchenette and dining area that looked up the coast of Ft. Lauderdale. We could see the sun rise out one window and set out the other. Their private beach is beautiful and the only thing I would say about it is that acess to it should be easier than down the stairs. I saw several people who had trouble navigating the stairs down to the beach. The bar is very nice and the food there is delicious. The night manager, Doug, drove my husband and I back to Ruth Chris's steakhouse where I had left my purse and saved us from having to cab back there. It's a nice walk or jog down the road to go to Las Olas and other Ft. Lauderdale beaches. I would recommend this hotel to anyone. Don't let the words "Best Western" turn you off. It's as god as Hyatt's Pier 66.

We stayed March 25-29th. Loved everything about this hotel. The 10th and 11th floor are now open,and the fitness center is on the 10th overlooking the ocean. All of the staff went out of their way to be helpful and friendly. There is complimentary coffee all day, popcorn, newspapers, and internet use in their business center. The restaurant is now open for breakfast,which includes a nice buffet with a waffle and omelet station.

My husband and I stayed at the pelican Beach Resort for our honeymoon and it exceeded all of our expectations. The hotel is more beautiful than the pictures. The staff was always helpful and friendly, the view was breath taking from our room overlooking the ocean, the food was absolutely delicious, and the location of the resort is perfect. It is located on a private beach only a short walk to main strip of Ft. Lauderdale.
The only two complaints we had were the pool closed way to early, around 5:00 pm, and the sodas were very over priced, just order a margarita. But besides that we never wanted to leave. We will be back again!

we stayed here in march prior to our cruise departure the next day. We stayed in the sun tower. The main hotel was very nice and clean but this building is still not updated. The room was clean but in need of serious work. It was good size and had a kitchen but the paint was peeling and you could tell everything in the room was old. We looked at the pictures of the hotel on the website but it very discreetly leaves this building out of the picture. The staff was very helpful. The pool area and the beach are very nice at the main hotel. This building also has a standard hotel pool available and it seems they use it for the child care area. I would stay here again but only if I could get a room in the main tower.

Stayed 3/22-3/25/05 with my wife and two young childeren (5 & 7) and enjoyed our stay. The hotel is literally on the beach which is great. The pool is not huge, but nice. The lazy river pool is a real bonus and the kids loved it. The new building is very nice and the staff was friendly. Valet parking is a bargain at $7/day. The concierge was nice, but not very helpful. She sent us to Bravo, which was nice, but not very kid friendly and didn't mention Charley's Crab which is much closer, on the water, and has a kid's menu.
The room was nice and it is a bonus that everything is new. There was a lot of noice coming in from the hallway since it is not carpeted, but it wasn't a big problem. The restaurant is just fine. Buffet breakfast is ok but nothing special. Lunch the same and the service is not very fast. Still ok so you can stay by the pool/beach without having to leave to eat.
