This was our second stay at Pelican Bay, so you already know we love the place. It is quaint, quiet, yet steps away from the activity in the Marketplace. Upgrades from last year include good, flat screen TVs and much better reception. The only thing we didn't like was the living room sofa and chair set which had very high... More

Nice: close to POIs, not a bunker like e.g. the Grand Lucayan, holiday-feeling, everything was clean. Could be improved: simplicity of the rooms, loud bathroom-aeration. We (a 30 year old couple) have done a roundtrip through Florida and wanted to spend a couple of relaxing days afterwards on the Bahamas. The Pelican Bay is nicely located at the channel. Don't...

A four-day weekend is just the prescription for a hectic lifestyle. In season I'm sure this place rocks . . . with three pools, two bars and an easy walk from Port Lucaya. In early December however 'island time' is the rule of the day. The room was sparsely yet adequately furnished. The staff was available, not enthusiastic. The price... More

Hotel is in a good location for the market and a short walk to the beach. Hotel rooms are a little worn and require updating 301 is above sabor restaurant which gives a nice smell of fried food when you open the door Would definitely pay the extra money and stay in the radisson across the street next time More

Dear Mikeysjfc, Thank you for bringing this to our attention! My best guess is that you experienced the aroma from the restaurant possibly because it was much windier than usual. Our rooms are constantly being evaluated and upgrades are being done periodically. We are truly sorry that we were unable to deliver a happy experience to you while here; however... More

The people of the Bahamas are wonderful. You always feel at home while surrounded in a tropical paridise. Pelican Bay is located in a perfect location right next door to the Lucaya Marketplace. The Marketplace has numerous shops and excellent restaurants to choose. We had breakfast at one of the restaurants every morning and started each day with "boy am... More

We celebrated my boyfriend's birthday with a long weekend in Freeport. We chose this hotel based on the reviews on Trip Advisor. We were not disappointed. We had the waterside stateroom which was spacious, clean with a beautiful view of the channel. The delivery of the pastries were our wakeup call. We tried the expresso machines....but we also had the... More

We booked a package through Westjet Vacations through Toronto and thoroughly enjoyed the hotel and Grand Bahama Island. Everything is so close by, the Lucaya Marketplace, the Lucayan beach and Taino Beach is just a short ride by ferry. The rooms were clean, the staff were friendly and we enjoyed the beautiful grounds.

I booked the trip through Hotwire and found a great deal for $780 per person from Ottawa, ON. The hotel was very clean, staff were friendly, and the location was great - a very short walk to the beach and market. The food at Sabor restaurant was fantastic. We booked one excursion to Paradise Cove through the resort and went... More

A 5 night stay at the Pelican Bay is all about endurance. The hotel itself is very colorful and nicely maintained. And that is about where the compliments stop.
