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.

This hotel was wonderful! The rooms are extravagantly huge! We had an ocean view and it was wonderful. The staff were all extremely helpful, polite, professional and anxious to make our stay enjoyable. We attended a party at the hotel and stayed for the weekend. The party room also had an ocean view. The food was wonderful. The staff was very attentive. Breakfast was absolutely delicious, the server was efficient and brought everything correctly. When we first sat down it was only 3 of us then two more came and after we ordered 3 more came. Still she was patient and all the food was ordered and received as asked. I would definitely go to Pelican Grand again. Read less
