Pelican Grand Beach Resort, a Noble House Hotels and Resorts property

I made my reservation while planning a trip to Fort Lauderdale to run the A1A Marathon. I had a fantastic stay at the Pelican Grand. The staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful, the hotel is beautiful and the location on the beach is breath-taking. My girlfriend and I loved sitting outside on the veranda watching the surf, as well as floating on the heated lazy river! What a way to relax tired legs after running 26.2 miles! We didn't have an ocean-front room (I knew that when I made the reservation), but to my surprise the street-side room provided a gorgeous view of the sunset over tropical south-Florida palms! I have nothing to say but good things about the Pelican Grand. I can't wait to return!

hotel was one of the better. staff was more than willing to help and very friendly. place was very clean and comfortable. food was quite pricey and not a lot to pick from. the location of the hotel was not within walking distance of anything. overall we had a wonderful time. very relaxing

Excellent location right on the beach. The staff is friendly. Hopefully they will get the entrance to the beach repaired soon. They lost some of the duns in a fall storm , but the beach itself is great.

The service was.outstanding from valet parking to the beach. It is about sevice here. You need a car unless you are only interested in the beach. Ocean front suite was delightful with sunrise view. Beautiful hotel, enjoyed breakfast on the veranda. The lazy river is small but warm and fun

My husband and I had a really restful and relaxing week. The hotel lived up to our expectations of a four star hotel - all the staff were particularly friendly, courteous and helpful. As far as we were concerned because the hotel was within a residential area, we were not amongst the hallaballew of downtown noise and bustle, although near enough to it that when we needed to go there it was not far.

My best friend and I met here for our 40th birthdays. The hotel is adorable and eclectic, with a cute ice cream parlor, veranda rockers and a lazy river that is sooo relaxing. The beach attendants suprised the guests with grapes and ice cream, and the bar and restaurant staff went out of their way to make sure we were happy, even bringing our beers to us in the lazy river! The coconut races were so fun and my friend won a free t-shirt. The room was lovely and charming. There are games and books in the comfy lobby and we would have loved to stay forever.

The Pelican Grand Beach Resort in Fort Lauderdale, Florida was listed as a four-star hotel. However, we were very disappointed in our accomodations. We reserved an ocean-view room, which we did not get. Our view was of the street. We saw roaches in the bathroom immediately upon arrival. We opened the entertainment center to find no TV. One was finally brought to the room several hours later instead of being brought immediately. The ceiling fan had dust that hung off the blades. The dust bunnies landed on the bed when the fan was turned on. The lighting in the bathroom was extremely poor. My husband had a very hard time seeing to shave and I had a very hard time seeing to apply my makeup. We were not aware the hotel offered valet parking only and we were charged $28 for parking, in addition to parking attendant tips. We had to wait for our car to be brought to the front door every time we went out, even though we called ahead to request the car be waiting. This hotel was sadly missing four-star accommodations and did not even come close to comparing with other four-star hotels we have stayed at in the past. We would not recommend this hotel.

I am writing this negative review because it was not a very pleasant experience for a 4-star hotel (see details below). Pros: - nice location Cons: - cold pool (we asked the management to turn on the heater, they ignored our requests coming up with various excuses) - the slowest wired Internet connection I have experienced in the past 10 years (my dialup was faster) - They still have CRT television sets in rooms (cheap motel I stayed a day earlier had LCDs) - One of the front desk staff members basically told us that if we don't like it there, we can check out any time (what a great customer service...) - One of the rooms had stale odor, probably from carpets

Best on beach location in Fort Lauderdale. Everything at Hotel was first class except suite had 2 older CRT model TV's. New flat screen TV's would be a great upgrade.
