Pelican Grand lived up to all the great reviews I had seen on here, which prompted me to book a weekend getaway vacation for my family (wife, 19-month-old twin boys, and grandparents). All of us had a fantastic time. The resort decor is casual, yet refined. Everything is impeccably maintained and the service is very attentive. The beach (this is... more

We stayed with our two little boys (1 and 3 year old) a full week in August at the Pelican Beach, and overall, we had a wonderful stay. This hotel is a historic building that went through extensive renovation but they kept the early 1900s Pineapple Florida feel. The beach is beautiful, but it isn't wide. The water was calm... more

Pros: King suite with ocen view was clean, very spacious and the balcony offered a fantastic view of the ocean and the sound of the surf. The lazy river was great when the staff enforced the no swimming and childern playing. The beach access and complimentary towel service were very convienient. Cons: Parking was expensive ($24/night) and the pool was... more

This hotel is a beautiful property. It is oceanfront, just north of the main drag that is Fort Lauderdale. Still busy traffic, but not so chaotic with people it seemed. We checked in around 4 p.m., and our assigned room wasn't ready, but they found us another room so we could rest after our long drive, which we really appreciated.... more

We booked through VRBO.com. I would recommend this as there are considerable savings. The building is made up of hotel rooms and private cond's hence savings if booked through the owners site. Everything was great, better than we expected. We read all the reviews which we found true and helpful. The pool is small but the beach is only a... more

I dont even know where to begin, first the parking fees are outragously expensive. Check in went smooth. The suite we had was small, for a newer hotel it felt very old and dirty. The service at the pool was even worse, it took 10 minutes for a server to finally approach us, then another 15 minutes to get drinks.... more

We booked this hotel with points and stayed one night. We were able to check in early, which was a huge help seeing as I had a little one. Our room was very clean king suite with a wonderful view of the ocean. It had a good size area with the bed as well as a big sitting area. We... more

Had a great stay but had 2 really bad meals. Forced us to go out for all meals after that. more

Stayed at both the Pelican and Hilton the same week and must say you get far more value for the money at the Hilton. The Pelican's grounds are nice with lazy river... but 'suite' was dingy with fold out bed in extra room barely large enough for my nine year old son. A week earlier, we were in an oceanfront... more
