We stayed over memorial day weekend at the Pelican resort. We would recommend it to anyone! We had an oceanview suite which was huge. The sitting room was a separate room with a sofa bed for an extra person. We had a package which included breakfast every morning. All the weekend days include a breakfast buffet which was incredible. We would basically eat breakfast and then eat dinner because it was so much food. The staff was friendly and servicable and the entire hotel was spotless. We would highly recommend anyone to stay at this hotel.

This is the second stay for me at the Pelican Grand. It is one the best vacations I have ever taken.. The people who work there are very courteous and the concierge (David) was the best. Jamie, Barry and Mindy at the bar were fantastic. To walk out of the hotel and be right on the beach is terrific. The porch and rockers on the beach are so relaxing. I will be back there over and over.

I absolutely loved the resort! First class service, rooms are huge, and everyone down to the maintenance staff was extremely helpful and courteous. No complaints whatsoever. I travel to Fort Lauderdale several times a year, and I will definitely stay here again.

We stayed here for five days and absolutely loved it! Our room was wonderful, the pool was great, the hotel was beautiful, the staff was friendly - it was a GREAT experience!
The Bad - There were only two things that bothered me. There was no flag warning system on the beach - we had to watch the news to see that it was red flag and we should not go in the water. They had lunch out by the pool, but a hot dog was $7 and a burger was $10 - are you kidding me!!! We bought groceries at Winn Dixie and cooked our own hot dogs in the microwave. Total cost - $10 for more than enough food for 4 people! (In fact we shared with another family we met!)
The In Between - Parking was Valet and was $12 a day - it was somewhat frustrating as I can park my own car and walk. We chose not to tip as we felt for as many cars as were being parking at $12 a day, they were making plenty of money. Several people around us did the same. The pool and lazy river are a bit smaller than I had expected, but all in all they were wonderful!
The Good - EVERYTHING ELSE! Nothing was so bad that it would detere me from staying there again! I LOVED this resort and we will return! My kids had a great time - the staff was wonderful with them and we felt very welcome. In fact, there were a ton of kids there and they all played and enjoyed themselves!! The ice cream shop was great, the front desk staff was nice, the valet's were helpful...it was just wonderful!

Go for it - enjoy your stay - you will not be sad that you did!!!

PS If you are reading some of the negative reviews, just remember that money can be stolen off the beach at anytime from any resort - it happened to me in Mexico. I do not think this is a reason to not stay at this resort - use your brain and hide your money or do not bring it with you!
