The Pelican Grand is nicely located with easy access on and off of A1A. The rooms are huge and everything about them is classy! We had a corner room on the second floor which had a huge deck (size of an average livingroom). The staff was very polite down to the valets and maids. The pool and the lazy river... More

Good hotel. One cannot get closer to the ocean or beach. You can sit on the veranda and just about put your feet in the water. The hotel is a little off the beaten path but that can be a good thing. Very comfortable bed and large room. Staff was good - did not eat at the hotel as we... More

My son and his fiancee chose this location to have their wedding, so I thought I should check it out first by spending a weekend there. we arrived early and the desk clerk could have checked us in to an "ocean view" room immediately, but she advised us that she would have a larger room with a balcony available by...

We stayed at the Pelican Grand for one night before our cruise. We had no problem checking in and the front desk staff is very nice. We got a queen suite ocean front room which was very spacious. Not the cleanest hotel room I've been in, but can't beat the view and size. There were two queen beds in the... More

Love the old Southern Mansion look. Love that it is off the strip and the rates reflect that depending on the time of year & holiday's. Beach is beautiful and not crowded...enjoyed a massage on the beach with white curtains up all around for privacy...nothing better than the sound of waves for your background. Food was very good but service... More
