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.

Updates to facility needed but room was beautiful and the balcony view was unbeatable. Staff friendliness was mixed but Frank at beachside service was more than accommodating and very helpful.

My wife and I had a fantastic experience at Ocean2000. Carlos was our waiter and he went above and beyond to ensure our first time here went perfectly. I would highly recommend going here for a beautiful night out with a spectacular view of the ocean with some delicious options for dinner.
