We had a wonderful long weekend stay at the Pelican. Having traveled quite a bit, we understand sometimes things are not perfect. However when ever we brought something to the front desks attention it was done to our satisfaction. They were great and very very nice too. The food was very good. The location of right on the beach was... More

The Pelican Grand is a lovely resort, and it is located on the ocean side of Ft. Lauderdale Beach. We stayed in a suite, which was spacious, and was tastefully decorated in "old-style" Florida (as is the resort). The Pelican Grand is family-friendly, complete with an ice-cream parlor/gift shop. There is a gorgeous verandah overlooking the ocean on the back... More

One of the very few Fort Lauderdale hotels right on the beach, the Pelican Grand is a wonderful place to stay. Our one single room with king bed with separate living room (with pullout bed) worked for three of us. Beautiful views from our 11th floor room. White rocking chairs on each floor and ground floor porch. Rooms were clean,... More

Little old fashion - beds are okay (at the most) - tvs are very old - no WIFI P>S>: Good location: must go to this little Italian bakery a mile up the road near the HUSS Gas Station - near Blue Martini and other local attractions. More

Dear Ajram, Thank you for your review and your tips of local attractions when visiting the Pelican. You are correct that the décor of the hotel is very specific, in that it represents the Florida found back in the 50 and 60s. I am happy to say that we are working on solving the in-room Wifi, as the hotel was... More

Stayed for a week. Location is great as you're directly on the beach, a short driving distance to everything but in a quiet area. The views from the oceanside rooms are terrific. Our room, two doubles with a sitting room with table was on the 9th floor. Hotel dining room is very good, especially if you sit on the veranda... More

I have stayed in hotels all over the world and I must say that this visit would rank with all the best. The hotel is beautifully located right on the beach and reminds one of Southern Plantations typically visible in the southern United States.
