The hotel

Set on the sands in Fort Lauderdale, the Pelican Grand Beach Resort is a perfect paradise. You can spend your days on the white-sand beach, floating around in the lazy river and zero-entry pool, and tasting the delicious seafood and ice creams. Your room has been decorated with the ocean in mind, and is a real retreat for you to return to. And when the evenings roll in, you can take a moment, and sit on one of the rocking chairs overlooking the beach with the soothing sound of the ocean waves rolling in the background.

Amazing stay, lovely resort, perfectly located on the beach with all the amenities you could ask for. Beautiful beach, pool, resort, and yummy food, with the kindest staff. Southern hospitality at it's finest. I had the perfect summer holiday with my mini me before she starts school mid-August. Try the key lime pie! It was so amazing. Also, if you stop by the pool first thing in the morning, it's delightful and so peaceful because you have the pool to yourself. We also loved sitting in the rocking chairs while looking at the sea in the morning while sipping coffee. What a moment and so peaceful! We were sad to leave but this place is worth the flight out from SoCal. We will definitely be back and highly recommend for the perfect family summer vacation. Read less
