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.

The entire staff at the pelican resort are a 20/10. They’re all friendly, happy spirited and the service is quick. I can’t say enough great things. We loved all the staff at the pool especially Giovanna and Donte. Giovanni always serves with a beautiful smile and lots of love and enthusiasm. I would come back here in a heartbeat! You feel special…

Way to Overrated.. not worth the price!

the parking fee's are ridiculous at $55.00 a day. rooms were nice but not jaw dropping, and could't even keep my balcony door open to hear ocean because it was too heavy and constantly closed. At these prices per night I would have been better off at a hotel near las Olas
