Our first time at the Pelican. Been going to Pompano/Fort Lauderdale for theast 10 years in February.
It is a nice place but expensive (compared to comparable beach resorts). The parking alone is $70.00 a night for a truck and there is a resort fee of roughly $50.00 per day.
Evian water bottles in room have $4.00 signs and a larger glass water bottle goes for $7.00. Just felt i was nickel and dimed for everything.

We were on the second floor with a lanai and an awesome view of the ocean the room was mostly clean (rating a number 4 for a bit of dust on cabinets and wrappers on floor).. But the bathroom didn't have a shower door and just a sliding barn door to the bathroom that didn't lock was kind of strange when someone was taking a shower and anybody could walk in; sometimes housekeeping would just come in while someone in there. Also, it wasn't clear if we could use the pump hand soap and shampoo, etc as they were price $22 if we were to take them, but some of the bottles started out 1/2 full. We wish they had in-house laundry since we were there for 5 days. Nice to have room service but all the breakfast items like waffles and eggs benedict were too sour for both me and my son. The pool & lazy river were smaller but great and warm (seemed to be saltwater)

Resort was clean, very nice and staff were all excellent. We had breakfast and dinner there both were very good and fairly reasonable. Our only complaint was that they charge a resort fee which adds up to almost $60 dollars a day. (I think a lot of resorts do this nowadays), but my wife wife and I never used ANY of the “resort” features, so basically paid almost $200 for nothing. They also add on a 22% tip fee to every bill. I usually tip that much but being forced to do it didn’t sit well especially since at one of the breakfasts service was not good due I think to lack of staff. Other than those items, the Pelican was a great place to stay.

Hotel exceeded my expectations. Received a room upgrade to lovely very clean ocean front suite. Front desk staff was very professional with an excellent personal touch. The beach attendants were amazing. The privacy of the beach and first class accommodation made for a pleasant and comfortable experience. Dining was nice. My only wish was more offerings of fresh seafood but what was available was very good. Enjoyed my stay and will be making plans to return.

The elevators weren’t working, we were charged $26.00 for stuff in the room that we did not eat or drink, the hotel food was okay. Overall, we thought it was a bit overpriced for the product that we received.

Staff was friendly, but the lock to the room was out of batterys, took me 3 separate trips to the lobby to figure this out, the water/toilet shut off, there was a loud banging sound when we were trying to relax.

Considering we spent well over $1,200 for 1 night, it was a disappointing experience.

I’ve never given such a poor review and have never felt more compelled to do so. Not sure where to begin so I’ll begin with the terribly worn $1100 a night queen suite. Old bathroom fixtures with a poor shower head emitting poor water pressure; a leaky sink; an ancient built in blow dryer that probably hasn’t worked in years, but is still on the wall (The replacement dryer’s cord falls out of the outlet repeatedly during use); a ceiling fan emitting a high pitched whirring sound so loud we laughed the first time we flicked on the light; a sofa bed mattress so old you can feel every coil; and a door to the commode area that doesn’t fully close. Of the outlets in the room, most weren’t working. Upon arrival, we were told that the phone in the room wasn’t working, but would be by the next day- it never worked during our stay, which we found out when we lost all water to the room on our last evening and couldn’t call the lobby. One of the elevators wasn’t working leading to long wait times. In room amenities were sparse and did not include bar soap. Housekeeping failed to leave hand towels or replace coffee. Breakfast service was so slow we indulged only once.
The spa service was lovely; the spa itself, like the guest rooms, is poorly maintained.
The food was solid and the staff is friendly. But the one towel per guest card policy is just cheesy and an insult to customers paying these room rates for location alone. I won’t trust Expedia reviews again. Do better Noble House.

The hotel and amenities were very nice. The restaurant was terribly understaffed (took forever to be seated and no one took our order for a long time, then delivered us the wrong order).

There was also only one working elevator, and it didn’t stop at our floor.

It’s an older hotel. Definitely wouldn’t call it a VIP hotel. The room was spot cleaned not deep cleaned. For example, the glass nightstand was dust free but the glass had food or drink spots on it. The bathroom faucets had soap scum and the shower had water marks on the tile. Didn't look like the shower walls were cleaned from the last person. It is also near nothing within walking distance.

Incredible beach view and access with food/beverage service on the beach. It’s a family friendly spot both inside the resort, the pool and beach side. Restaurant on site has tasty food as well.

The biggest negative was the inconsistency in service by staff throughout the resort whether it was food/beverage service, housekeeping or front desk. More times we found things were done very slowly, forgotten about and sometimes unhelpful. Some staff were top-notch and helped make the stay enjoyable!

We are locals and stayed there to enjoy a NYE Eve celebration close to the hotel. The first night, Dec 30th, our fan creaked so loud we couldn’t sleep. The next morning, we the door was paper thin, we heard nonstop screaming and running. We ordered breakfast to our room (omelette with ham/swiss/egg) and wheat toast. What arrived was a burnt omelette with bacon and cheddar and rye toast. When I asked to speak with a manager (the manager on duty Dec 31 at 11 am) she told me I probably ordered the wrong thing! HUH!? When the correct order came, it was freezing cold and the toast was uncooked and was the butt of the bread. Next, my little daughter got into the shower and when I went in to check the temp, the shower was covered in dirt and at least 8 pieces of men’s hair. I quickly wiped the disgusting stuff up so my daughter wouldn’t be exposed and put it into a glass. I called to the manager on duty again and sent her an email with the video and photos. She was completely unapologetic and my husband walked down the glass of hair and filth and she still couldn’t care less. When we got back from dinner that night, I called to see if we could check out at 1 pm Jan 1 (only 2 hours later) since we barely slept the night night before bc of the fan and noise, horrible man child on duty, hung up on me and called me a liar to my face when I came to front desk. NEVER AGAIN.

Staff, amenities and cleanliness are tops. It was disappointing the towels at the beach were not renewed, so that it required going back to the pool at acquire them.
Our past stay we had an ocean view room. We decided on Oceanside room this time. It was sorely misrepresented on the web site and disappointing and the door to the balcony was difficult to open.
We’re planning a spring trip for a bit longer stay.

They are friendly and attentive without being intrusive. The food and drinks were excellent all week long. My wife and I are looking forward to returning soon.

We really enjoyed our week getaway from the cold and snow. Highlights were the beach staff (Alec and John) that were fun and attentive. The food and alcohol is more expensive (added 22%) but it's worth it to stay on the beach and eat lunch or drink a cocktail. We explored via Uber and also the free hotel transportation and discovered a few places that delighted us (Zito's Italian). Shout out to Olisha at the front desk who greeted us at check in and was so helpful throughout our stay, including check out. The two different concierge people were the best and gave us detailed advice. The lobby and main floor were wonderfully decorated for Xmas. We also enjoyed sitting on our balcony watching the sunrise. Thanks for the chance to recuperate from our busy lives.
