I had a wonderful stay at Pelican Bay Hotel. The location was perfect for relaxation, right on a canal with easy access to Taino Beach via a free ferry. The rooms were spacious and clean, and the breakfast buffet was delicious. The only downsides were that the workout room was small, and we had a minor issue with the lock on our ground floor door. Overall, it was a great value and a lovely experience.

My stay at the resort was a mix of positives and negatives. The location was beautiful with lovely grounds and pools, but the initial room placement was disappointing, and the staff at the front desk was unhelpful during my stay. The facilities were well-maintained, and the ferry service to the beach was a nice perk, but dining options fell short, especially with limited hours. Overall, it was a decent experience but there is definitely room for improvement.

I found myself at Pelican Bay for a short stay and had a mixed experience. On the plus side, the location is fantastic, with easy access to shops and restaurants, and the breakfast was delicious. The pools were great too. However, the room was a big letdown due to its outdated condition and cleanliness issues. Also, the prices for food and drinks were quite steep, which made dining a challenge.
