This was our first time to Destin & the Pelican Beach Resort. . We loved our stay there! We were on the 15th floor with a beach front room and the view was beautiful. We got there 1 1/2 hr early & the front desk let us check in early. The room had everything we could need from the bedrooms to the kitchen. The only complaint I have is the wireless internet service is awful. I had to go to the lobby to use my Ipad & down load books to it. I hope they invest in a better internet service. We will be returning to stay there again. The rooms were clean and everyone were friendly.

I had stayed at the hotel when I was a teenager, but the memories lasted a lifetime! The pool was enjoyable (I taught my sister how to swim!) and the room wasn't half bad. The beds were comfortable, the tvs had good reception, and the bathroom was nice and clean. The room I had a balcony that overlooked the pool, and the Gulf of Mexico. The hotel was right on the beach, so that was a plus. It was a great summer vacation, and I'd recommend it to everyone!

My husband and I stayed at the Pelican Resort August 17-24th, and we really enjoyed it. Check-in was a complete breeze and we felt the staff was very helpful throughout the entirety of our stay. The resort itself is very well maintained. Everyday there were groundkeepers cleaning the surrounding area on our floor and main lobby. The pool was a nice break from the beach. It was cleaned daily and the temperature was perfect! It's a nice size to where even when it's busy, there's still plenty of chairs to choose from. My only complaint is that because of the location, you lose sun time around 1-2pm. But, we spent most of our time by the ocean so it wasn't too much of a problem. The beach does get crowded fast, but we would try to get down as early as possible to reserve a spot.
We stayed in room 1702 and it was really nice! Very modern and the kitchen had been recently updated so we enjoyed using that. We had an incredible view too! The resort is in a great location, with a nice covered parking garage -we never had a problem finding a space.
There is a little market located inside the resort that was very convenient. The prices were slightly high, but still, it was nice to have access to if you didn't feel like leaving. There are plenty of grocery stores and fast food joints around though to go to. All in all, it was a great trip and we will definitely be back! Thanks Pelican for making our stay a memorable one! :)

Good value and location. Beach gets very crowded. Pay for chairs or setup your own at sunrise
