The property had nice amenities and was in a good location. I did not think the hallways and room was as clean as it should have been. We also saw several roaches in our room which is not acceptable at all!!!!

We thought that beach umbrellas and chairs were included only to find out that we had to rent them. No beach towels available either. The kitchen was very well supplied with any utensil, appliance, etc. that anyone would need. Conveniently located. Front desk people were always unhappy and rude.

Fun hotel, friendly staff... gorgeous beach!!

We had a wonderful stay... fabulous views, nice room... we just had no idea how crowded it would be!! Didn’t love that where we sat on the beach you couldn’t see the ocean through the chairs and really didn’t like listening to music blasting from dueling speakers on the beach! Just wanted to hear the ocean !! The best time was after 5pm when the ropes were lifted and tons of people went up. It became a private paradise!! Thank you!

Great place to stay

Pros: Nice place to stay and located very close to everything that we wanted to do and everything we needed.
Cons: New mattresses would be nice and a Kuerig instead of a coffee maker would be nice but not expected.
Location: The location was great. Close to the Track and to Harborwalk.
We had a great time at the Pelican Beach Resort. We planned this Spring break trip somewhat last minute (booked in February for a stay in March) and we were very pleased with our accommodations. We came with our teenage daughter and one of her friends and they had a great time. I was a little concerned after reading many reviews complaining about the beach set up, but found them not to be a problem. I guess if I had small children it would be tough, but since we were there with 2 older teenagers we didn't need to keep constant eye contact with them so setting up behind the 3 rows of designated set ups wasn't a problem for us. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The condo itself was clean and had most of what we needed. We are planning to return in the near future!!
