The staff was amazing, and the resort itself is beautiful. I love a hotel that offers rooms with two king beds—such a great setup for a girls getaway. The room was big and also came with a sitting room, the oceanfront balcony was great with incredible views.

One of the biggest highlights was the food and drink service on the beach—a total game changer! We travel a lot and usually encounter great service, but the staff here truly went above and beyond.

We did have a few minor mishaps during our stay, but everything was resolved quickly at checkout. The only downsides were that the lazy river is smaller than it appears in photos, and the main pool is a bit small for the size of the resort.

Overall, the drinks were delicious, the food was great, and we had an amazing time. I’d definitely come back!

Great position for watching the Ft. Lauderdale Airshow. The hotel is aging but still well maintained. Plenty of power stripe in the room so that you don't need to worry about charging your devices, just bring enough charging cables / adaptors (No USB-C port, but with USB-A port on the wall, max 2A) . Stayed in an Ocean Front Suite at the 2nd floor. Outside the room is a shared platform connects all the rooms. Rooms from 3 floor and above have separated balconies. For the airshow, the best place to watch is the private beach of the hotel, because on this 2nd floor platform your view will be distracted by those palm trees in front. So, maybe next time, we can choose 3rd or 4th floor rooms.

The staff was very welcoming and helpful. Great resort, well kept, and amenities abound. Since the sargassum belt (seaweed) reached the shores of this resort, they had a tractor remove it. We noticed many other resorts do not. Top notch property, can't wait to return.

Can't say enough good things about this beachfront hotel. From the porch overlooking the ocean, the spacious, comfortable rooms, and the excellent food options ranging from poolside to table service!! One of our favorites and the staff is so nice and helpful, from the front desk, pool attendants, wait staff and bell services!! Can't wait to stay again

The housekeeping and hotel staff from parking attendants, to bag check, front desk, restaurants, cafe staff, towel and pool attendants - outstanding. A special shout to the beach staff especially - Cameron and Luis. They were so helpful and attentive.

This is the 4th year my spouse and I have visited. We love location (2.5 miles from local idiots at Beachplace area hotels), beach access, and spacious suites.

Over time, we dine there less and less. Prices are high, and the quality of the food doesn't support the price.

One thing I noticed on this trip was tighter control on towels and pool area seats. I asked for that because last year it seemed like a third to half of people occupying pool area seats were not staying at the hotel. They bragged and laughed about it. This time, the paying guests and their families could get seats this time. I appreciate the actions taken.

Less positive - improved elevator service has been promised for at least 4 years. One guest elevator was out of service for our entire, 4 night stay. I have to give that a \"Really?\"

Notes for first time guests - When adjusting lights and fans, it's not you. I think that's how those appliances are configured in Scandanavia. Also, consider using bath clogs. The walls, flooring, and soaps in the guest room bathrooms are a recipe for a cracked skull.

Love the place. Will come back.

We had the Ocean view 2 king room which was very roomy and well appointed. Location is great and view. Beach amenities are nice. What could be improved that was very inconvenient was the broken down elevator - wait times super long for each ride up/down. Valet parking was a mess - long wait, valet brought us the wrong car etc. Hotel mgr made it right for us, but when you charge $60 a day for parking - this needs to be spot on and fast. Elevators are a must and need to be in working order or swiftly fixed.

This is a decent hotel in a great location on the water in Fort Lauderdale Beach. But, to call it a resort is going a bit too far. We have come to associate a resort to have a plethora of activities, restaurant options and personnel that goes out of their way to make feel comfortable during your stay. We never had that feeling from arrival to departure. To be fair, the room was great but the service was just so-so. We had to wait for someone to take the car for valet as the attendants were goofing off. At $60/night, I would expect more. We made reservations in their one and only restaurant and went down early that afternnon to remind them it was our 50th wedding anniversary besides being Mothers day, and requested the best seat outside. The receptionist very sternly reminded us it could not be guaranteed, reciting company policy which was first come first served. Even though we were an hour away I accepted it; OK, it just wasnt very friendly communication. She could have been a little more understanding or accomodating, such as: \"Wow, that's wonderful, can't gurantee it, but let me see what I can do\".

The Pelican Grand has a lovely ocean front view. In spite of that, we had several issues with our keys, elevators not working, water control in the shower broken and a very uncomfortable sofa bed in our suite. The beach, bar, and pool staff were all very accommodating. There is no coffee provided in the morning, the gift shop and the restaurant do not open until 7 AM for you to purchase coffee. The gift shop has one woman working a very busy counter as many want their coffee by then. There are many oceanfront properties in Fort Lauderdale that provide better amenities for the same, if not lower cost.

For the price of this hotel and the insane charges, the valet parking fee, the resort fees and the mandatory 22% gratuity, this resort should be stunning. Instead, our room was unrenovated (unlike the Expedia room pictures), the property was dated- peeling paint, mold everywhere you looked, electricity sockets hanging out of walls, broken lights, dingy elevators and dirty, salty windows everywhere. We checked in Thursday and the elevator (1 of 2) was broken the whole time for four days/nights. Wait times were 10-15 min for elevators and frequently they were too full to get in. I travel a lot and can confidently say this hotel is resting on past laurels. Staff were very nice, the wine list is superb and the food is great. Just be prepared to not have the old adage, you get what you pay for, fulfilled.

A good amount of staff were great and very sweet but others were not helpful and appeared annoyed when asking for anything especially in the emporium. We definitely got food poisoning at ocean2000 as my husband and I both had the seafood risotto and both got sick. Also the entire time one or two elevators were down so everyone was always waiting and squeezing into the same elevators with strollers and kids. Also not providing body free soap/shampoo in the hotel room is very odd especially in a family friendly hotel. Tons of options in the bathroom but if you used to any they charged you $20 for each bottle.

Beach is beautiful and the guy who serves the beach drinks/food was the best, pool is pretty nice. For people with kids and strollers it really isn’t the most accommodating with moving around the resort. No space to walk with strollers to from pool or beach.

They also charge a 22% hospitality charge for the restaurant but as the waiters make sure to point out, only16% goes to them. They also hit you with a $67 resort fee for the night and another $60 for valet. Bring cash for tips because the hotel is cashless so good luck getting change.

Jennie at the bar for breakfast, Jiovanna at the pool & Donte at the pool, as well as the gentleman at the beach who was taking orders and giving drinks - all exceptional. Made up for lack of customer service from other employees.

Would wish they have microwaves in the rooms especially for families with younger kids who need to warm up milk? Made no sense to pay that much for a room and not have a microwave.

The Ocean restaurant is insanely expensive for the food rating it has.

Pool and lazy river were nice to have but crowded at times. Get your pool and beach chairs earlier in the day. If you arrive before check in, you’re welcome to use amenities but they don’t tell you they may not have chairs available so you’re displaced until your room is ready.

Overall 4/5 experience for the area.

Rooms were clean, no complaints there. Also random but the coconut mango body wash/shampoo/conditioner/lotion they give you smells really good.

Beach was really nice and clean too, and there were plenty of chairs so you didn’t have to stress about finding a spot.

We were unable to check in at check in time. We had to wait an hour past our arrival.
We were not given full and detailed instructions by the check in clerk. This led to confusion throughout our stay.
We were 'upgraded' to a suite which was hideous. I had never been upgraded before, so I wasn't sure what to do. The room had not been updated since probably the early nineties. Gross modern furniture and banged up dresser and doors. The bathroom was old and shower area was impractical. (no shelf for soap, no towel bar or hook even in the same room as shower. Also, no cold water to refresh after a hot day on the beach. One of the sink faucets were broken... Not my idea of an upgrade at all!
I was in the room next door to us, as well as a room on another floor. They were both updated with nice wood furniture and beautiful bathrooms, coat racks, and all around newer, lovely rooms.
Also. Valet staff had some bad eggs.. Didn't open door for passenger, and didn't help us load bags when we were departing.... John from beach service was a rock star and the friendliest employee there!

Check in was 2 hours after 4pm (said time of check in). Resort itself was nice, room was nice and clean (minus the random pills left on the window sill and Tupperware in the fridge that said “ to Bentley, love Mom). Everything is crazy expensive - breakfast for 2 adults (no drinks except water) was $110. Drinks by the pool… minimum $20 for a cocktail. $17 if it was a virgin cocktail. We had a sick child in the room and needed new sheets and towels and it took 9 calls to “guest services” to finally send someone up over an hour later.. which they brought A sheet and 3 towels for the 4 of us. The pool sever we had was great - super sweet!
The elevator is terrible… apparently the staff use the same ones (only 2 for 11 floors) so there was ALWAYS a long wait. Tried to go to the “concierge” to find excursions and all we got was “well you should just do this one because I get a commission”… ya, not happening. There is also nothing in walking distance and any “snacks” you need are priced through the roof. Although I say all this negative stuff… please know that I let a lot of things slide but there were just too many. Resort itself was very nice and we were pleased with our room in general

Great location, but not worth the price.

The hotel’s beachfront location is excellent—definitely one of its strongest features. The food was very good, with generous portions (though on the expensive side), and we especially enjoyed the lattes and drinks at the ocean bar. The spa and ladies there were very nice but on the expensive side.

The staff was a highlight of our stay. From the front desk to housekeeping, everyone was friendly, attentive, and eager to help with anything we needed.

Unfortunately, the property itself did not meet expectations—especially for the price. The pool is much smaller than it appears in the hotel’s photos. More concerning was the cleanliness of the room: the couch was stained and dirty, and the floors were not clean upon arrival. For a stay that cost approximately $1,000 per night (including valet, taxes, and fees) for a 2 King Bed Oceanfront room, the condition of the furniture and overall room cleanliness was unacceptable.

To their credit, management did offer to waive the daily hotel fee and taxes, but that did not feel like sufficient compensation given the issues.

Based on our experience, I would rate this hotel as a 3-star property. With its prime location, it has great potential—but until improvements are made to cleanliness and upkeep, the rates should be significantly lower.

Ugh we were so disappointed ... we were excited to return but it was a bummer. front desk did great I had to upgrade bc we had an additional guest but they gave some perks to offset cost bc i am a gold member. the beach guy was horrible - the towel olicy so tacky and the beach guy wouldnt get our towels but he got everyone around us theirs I shouldnt have tipped him but ... I will not be ging back there they took a 5 star memory and turned it into 2 stars... bummer.

Great room with a separate living room and balcony. Great restaurant with excellent food. Pool is fantastic with a lazy river and tubes to float along. You walk right onto the beach. Perfect place and we stay here every year.

The staff were lovely and the hotel was pretty to look at. However, they falsely advertised that they had a pool bar. The main reason we chose the hotel that we did was because we were going on spring break, and wanted to be able to utilize a bar at the pool. Furthermore, there was no microwave or laundry facilities on property at all. We also thought that the lazy river and pool would be bigger, the overhead images online make the pool area look like a waterpark. We also had a waiter that called us “extra” rudely for wanting flavor in our iced coffee. If they just change their advertising on Expedia so people don’t feel ripped off, I feel like this would have been a better rating.

The beach view was perfection. We watched the sunrise in all of its glory and the wedding and reception spaces were exceptional.

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.
