“Cannot be Number One!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 February 2010

We selected Pelican Bay Hotel after seeing on Trip Advisor that it was rated number 1. The rate was reasonable and the fact that breakfast was included was a bonus (or so we thought!). The room was no more that one would expect from a cheap motel. The bathroom had rusted holes (plural) and was of a general poor standard - not a tile to be seen, only a waterproof panelling. In the bedroom, which was rather sparse, the air-conditioner sounded like a jumbo jet landing - which made us resort to using the fan. Breakfast comprised a sort of buffet - tiny plastic plates, plastic knives and forks plastic cups - which is all very hard to manage, when one can only eat outside, battling the winds. I would rather have paid extra and had a decent choice for breakfast. We looked at the Raddison and this looked much much better. Some of the pool furniture was broken and the staff who work at the pool restaurant served as though they were doing you a great favour. Avoid this hotel!

“Peaceful, Quiet, Relaxing and Beautiful.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 January 2010

When I first stepped into the hotel room I was very satisfied. I have always wanted to stay in a nice hotel when i go on vacation. My bf and I stayed in the WaterState Room which has an amazing view of the marina. The water is just so blue and pretty. It comes with complimentary breakfast with special delivery of rolls and pastries in a basket to your room door every morning. The kitchen also comes with complimentary NePresso little cups of coffee. So if you are coffee lover you will enjoy that lil machine. You can also request a DVD player to your room if you would like to spend the night watching a movie. You can select the DVDs from the lobby. The staffs were very professional and were very helpful. We asked for an electric kettle and it was sent up to our room right away. This hotel is just a few mins walk to Port Lucaya which is very convenient since thats where all the happenings are; food, shops, drinks. You can also choose to take a boat to Taino beach which comes every hour or you can simply walk across the street to the beach in front of Radissons hotel. There are the same its just on different sides. Overall my bf and I had an amazing time in Pelican and Freeport.. Dont forget to visit GOld Rock Beach.. Its near National Park of Lucaya!! The Beach is just simply breathtaking. Oh If you do take the boat to Taino Beach make sure you try out the food at Taino Beach Restaurant.

From check in to check out our trip was flawless. The staff at Pelican Bay were very cordial, and always offered a smile and greeting when they saw us. Our ground floor room had a beautiful view of the pool and bay. Pelican Bay is just a quick waterfront walk to Count Basie Square/ Port Lucaya Marketplace and Taino Beach is just a relaxing water taxi ride away. The complimentary breakfast in the morning was a great way to start each day. Because of the hotels design, it feels as if the hotel has very few people staying there.The only time there was a crowd of people was at breakfast, after that it was quiet and remote again. Even the beaches were relatively secluded (except for an hour or two in the afternoon when the cruise ship day goers were visiting). We can't wait to visit again, and are already making plans.

We enjoyed great service, a beautiful suite and gorgeous views at Pelican Bay. The suite was spacious and the "kitchen" had everything we needed for our snacks and drinks. We especially loved the breakfast sweet roll delivery that was accompanied by the New York Times news fax. The continental breakfast was also good and we enjoyed that they varied some of the offerings every day. We found the staff to be very helpful and friendly...one of the front desk workers even tried to help me pull a live conch out of a shell that I found...when we couldn't do it ourselves, he suggested a great local vendor who was able to pull out the creature and save the shell. We took full advantage of the ferry to Taino beach but also spent a little time at Our Lucaya. Overall, it was the perfect location to really enjoy the whole Lucaya area...and it was especially nice to be just a few minutes walk from the fabulous New Year's Eve celebration in Count Basie Square. We can't wait to go back!

“Above and beyond our expectations!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 January 2010

We just returned from a honeymoon trip to the Bahamas, where we stayed at Pelican Bay. We could not have been happier! Everything was wonderful: a beautiful room, delicious food, fun activities. And the staff could not have been more amazing! Everyone was so sweet and helpful, especially Karen at the front desk -- our trip would not have been the same without her! We will definitely be returning to the Bahamas and Pelican Bay as soon as possible!
