We enjoyed our stay very much. Teresa was very accommodating and answered all our questions promptly. The unit is beautiful and very clean. It had all the amenities we could possibly need and more. Pelican Beach is a lovely resort with so many extras. We loved the ocean side pool and fitness room! The kids enjoyed the indoor pool. Thank you for sharing your lovely unit with us and we will definitely book here again!
Pelican beach is a beautiful place for anyone to stay. It has three pools and two hot tubs and the beach is so close you can hear the waves. The views from the balcony are amazing. This condo was updated with everything looking brand new. Especially the new shower in the hall bathroom. King size bed was very comfortable. I can't think of any negatives!

Mary, thank you so much! we are so glad that you enjoyed your stay and hope you return soon.
Amazing view and loved the beach. Staff all very nice. The unit was very clean but the common areas were average and to be expected with the crowds. A few wild teens and younger adults with unsupervised children around the pools.
We loved the options at Pelican Beach Resort: heated pools, hot tubs, beachfront umbrella/chair/beverage service, the ocean was beautiful, nice on site cafe for food and beverages, security personnel, and friendly service. Our apartment was spotless, newly remodeled, and had all the amenities we could ask for and more! Gorgeous balcony views. Would definitely stay here again!
