The property and the people running were awesome. The experience was the best. The place had all the amenities it described in the text and the place looked even better in person then seen in the pictures. Tiki bar pool spa area lead right to beach. Love the set up. Take your families there for vacation. Perfect for kids. Take your wife there for the honeymoon. Perfect for that too. The place was beautiful. An experience I’ll never forget!

Our last name was misspelled in their system. So after a 12 hour drive and of course payment we was told it was our problem not theirs. A 20 minute argument later we was given our room and the remainder of our stay was great.

The property had nice amenities and was in a good location. I did not think the hallways and room was as clean as it should have been. We also saw several roaches in our room which is not acceptable at all!!!!

Awesome Experience!

Everyone was so nice and helpful. I wish we would have known to rent our beach chairs sooner. That tip on the website would be helpful to know that it was an additional fee and can be paid ahead of time. Definitely plant to return to Pelican Beach Resort soon!

This was our first time staying at this property, and we will most definitely be back! Easy check-in, clean, conveniently located, great views of the beach, and plenty of amenities. They even have a little cafe on site and tiki bar with reasonably priced food and drinks. We were able to walk directly to the water park and Alvin’s Island across the street if we wanted any additional entertainment or shopping. Thanks for the great stay, Pelican Beach Resort!
