What Guests Are Saying
“After many wonderful stays over the years, the Pelican Grand Beach Club has truly become our home away from home. There are many beautiful hotels in Fort Lauderdale, but none compare to the warmth, personalized service, and spectacular oceanfront setting of the Pelican Grand. Perfectly situated directly on the Atlantic Ocean, the hotel offers breathtaking views of the beach, where the sunrise each morning is simply unforgettable. The spacious oceanfront suites are beautifully appointed, exceptionally comfortable, and provide the perfect place to relax while listening to the soothing sound of the waves. What keeps us coming back year after year, however, is the incredible staff who consistently make every visit feel special. A heartfelt thank you to Anette McCrady, Director of Revenue Management. Anette is always gracious, professional, and incredibly accommodating. From the moment you begin planning your stay, she makes the reservation process seamless and tailors every detail to your individual needs. Her kindness and attention to detail set the tone for another memorable vacation. The front desk is equally exceptional. Jackie and Sasha always welcome us with genuine smiles and warm hospitality, making us feel like valued friends rather than guests. Their professionalism, efficiency, and willingness to help with anything we need make every arrival a pleasure. If you’re looking for dinner recommendations, local excursions, or ideas to make the most of your stay, Brian is your go-to expert. He is always prompt, knowledgeable, and eager to help, offering wonderful suggestions that have made each of our visits even more memorable. No beach day is complete without Johnny. He somehow always manages to have our favorite spot waiting for us, whether we’re spending the day with family or friends. His attentive service, cheerful personality, fun tropical drinks, and delicious lunch menu make every afternoon on the beach feel like paradise. A special thank you also to Mark, one of the bellmen, whose friendly smile, professionalism, and helpful nature make every arrival and departure effortless. The Pelican Grand Beach Club is much more than a beautiful beachfront resort—it is a place where lasting memories are made. The breathtaking ocean views, luxurious accommodations, and extraordinary staff create an experience that keeps us returning year after year. We have celebrated family vacations, quiet getaways, and special moments here, and each visit feels as wonderful as the first. If you’re looking for an unforgettable beachfront escape in Fort Lauderdale where you’ll be treated like family from the moment you arrive, the Pelican Grand Beach Club is simply second to none. We cannot wait for our next visit.” — Fran, 5 stars
“We had an amazing 3 night stay at Pelican Grand prior to our cruise. With 2 kids (ages 14 and 8) having enough room for everyone to sleep and relax was really important. Our 2 king ocean front room was incredible. Loved being right on the beach without a noisy street in between. What really made the trip amazing was the pool staff- Alex and Giovana were highlights of our trip- making us feel welcome and took great care of us. We truly were able to relax and enjoy our time. The games and treats by the pool everyday were also amazing for the kids. It was hard to get my son out of the lazy river! We had dinner for our anniversary at the hotel’s restaurant Ocean2000 and the food was incredible (particularly the pop overs and seafood risotto). Service was phenomenal! My kids were frequent customers of the ice cream shop and the staff were fabulous. We were really looking for some relaxation and this hotel is further down from all of the hustle and bustle of the bar scene a couple miles down the road. Everything you need is right here with an incredibly attentive staff. We can’t wait to come back!” — kristin G., 5 stars
“A huge shoutout to Alex at the Pelican Grand Beach Resort in Fort Lauderdale! 🌴☀️ Alex was hands down one of the highlights of our vacation. Every day he greeted us with a warm smile, checked in throughout the day, and did everything he could to make sure we were comfortable, relaxed, and having the best time by the pool. His friendly personality, respect for every guest, and genuine desire to make everyone’s day special truly stood out. Outstanding customer service like his deserves to be recognized. Thank you, Alex, for making our vacation even more enjoyable. We can’t wait to come back—and we hope to see you again! 🍹🏖️👏” — Susie O., 5 stars

What guests are saying about Pelican Grand Beach Resort.
"Food is pretty good. Came there for lunch one day and got conch soup and the oysters. The conch soup didn’t come with any type of bread so I had to ask and the oysters my hubby got were either not tasty or too fishy. Came been the best day for lunch again but at the beach. Laid around $800-$100 for beach chairs and an umbrella. Those food options were super yummy. Coconut shrimp and that flatbread. Definitely redeemed the food from the day before. Only thing that was annoying is the ppl taking the umbrellas back. We only had it maybe 2hrs before they were trying to take it back even you we paid close to $100 to rent it until we had enough smh. Wouldn’t recommend you do that, bring your own off Amazon and save money but do the food for sure! Service was great inside or outside. Also, I didn’t stay here just came for the food."

Particularly, from the moment we arrived, Peter, the Bellman, greeted us with a big smile and generous hospitality, thank you, Peter! We also want to shout out Olisia (or Alicia) as she was so kind and helpful upon our arrival at the front desk. Compliments to Derale and Sus for making our meals at the Ocean2000 an enjoyable experience. Peter, again, and Mark, book-ended our wonderful experience by helping us with departure. The beach, the views, the people, all 100 out of 10. Would only suggest there be a more frequent concierge personnel as we didn't see anyone there until our Thursday departure. Other than that, incredible experience! Thank you so much"
