The Pelican Bay is a locally owned and operated hotel that caters to both local and foreign tourists. It has a nice atmosphere compare to the bigger hotels in the same area. The room decor is ecclectic. The AC noisy and the overall facilities need some TLC. [Details]

The strong points
Location is excellent facing the canal and near the marketplace. The beach access n/a but short water taxi ride takes you to a beautiful spot where you can share a sister resort's amenities, pool, beach, restaurant. Hotel is quiet and feels safe.
The weak points
Staff is very slow to respond (on island time). Breakfast is included but somehow chaotic. Ground floor rooms are musty better with the upper floors.

The facilities at Pelican Bay were pretty much what we'd expected, and the service was excellent - the people are so friendly. [Details]

A boutique hotel with friendly and helpful front desk staff. Nice pool by Sabor retaurant. Comfortable lounge chairs. 6 min ferry ride to Taino Beach .... take it! Beach much nicer than one across from Lucayan Market .... Breakfast included .... situated on 4th floor of new building that caters to weddings ... lovely venue ... breakfast on balcony overlooking inner harbour .... room ok ... but view of suite which is really a 1 bedroom apt blew me away .... next time will opt for suite .... very few people around pool exc for Saturdays ..... all in all a real jewel ... its not a resort .... its a boutique hotel and one my wife and I will definitely be going back to ... the weather was perfect so this probably helps the experience there .... 5 min walk from hotel to market with restaurants, stores and Count Basie square (for entertainment at night) The best beach was Gold Rock across the street from Lucayan National Park. Breathtaking at low tide! Flying Fish restaurant beside hotel ranked in top 5 in Caribbean. [Details]

We received a free upgrade from a regular room to an enormous state room with breakfast included, in-room coffee. At first we were worried as hotel is not adjacent to the beach, but we did find the ferry service to the beach was convenient and frequent enough. Beach was amazing. Hotel within close walking distance to the market place for shopping, restaurants, etc. Walking distance to other hotels, casino. Hotel service was very good. We were blown away by our feeling of security in the area. Travelled off-season, so area was quiet. [Details]

Was pleasantly surprised with this hotel, it was close the airport and for the most part very well kept. HUGE rooms and really cool decor. Includes a NESPRESSO coffee/cappucino press and the discs! Handy and close walk to all the restaurants, market, casino, etc. Would definately return! Beach is nice, must go by water taxi (10 mins) to Taino Beach. [Details]
