Location, unit and amenities are outstanding. Just pick a unit away from the trash drop shoots. Staff start at 7am sharp. No late sleeping in units near trash tower on lower floors.

The unit we stayed in had a beautiful view. There were some little things we found.. like one of the pillow cases was dirty, my son found a bowl of cereal under one of the beds from the previous renters.. it had been there so long we had to let it soak to get it clean.. there was also water damage in various places in the condo and it smelled musty. Also, there is no ice machine on the property if you need ice for your coolers..
We didn’t find the staff to be too friendly.. we were told at arrival all the pools stayed open until 10:00pm, however, one pool closed at 6:00 every evening.. the gym hours definitely do not fit with everyone’s schedules.. some people are used to doing early morning workouts and it didn’t open until 7:00am.. For the price we paid to stay there, there were just so many things that weren’t as described. The overall best thing was the private beach and the view from our room. Not sure if we would ever stay there again due to the lack of communication and the lack of friendliness from the staff..
I didn’t take pics of all the little things, but I did take a pic of the cereal bowl my son found under the bed from someone who had stayed there before us..

This hotel was really cool. Nice big room with multiple bedrooms and bathrooms, a balcony, full kitchen. I really like how there’s 3 pools, with one of them being half indoor half outdoor + a huge hot tub, outside bar (only downside is they close before 7), plus direct beach access. I’d definitely stay here for a trip again

Beach access was a plus.

The area rug in the livingroom had net been vacuumed in I don’t know how long so much sand came out of it. The floors and baseboards were filthy upon arrival. The toilet paper holder was on the floor in the bathroom instead of hanging on the wall. Each morning between 6-7 am we were woken by the metal garage door right outside our door where the house all the garbage for all the condo units (yes all you smell is hot garbage each time you leave the condo) then hear the garbage truck picking up and delivery a new dumpster each morning as the workers are throwing the stored garbage from the garage area into the newly delivered dumpster leaving garbage juice from the bags all over the ground to bake in the hot sun. Best part none of this was listed in the description of being near the garbage area! Otherwise wouldn’t have rented this condo! The top bunk couldn’t even use it was so close to the ceiling so our daughter had to sleep in the bed with my husband and I. The bathrooms don’t even have a soap dish for the bars of soap!

Loved the property and the condo. My only issues were the 2 small beds were VERY uncomfortable and anytime you moved they made a lot of noise. Also the tv in the master bedroom was set up where you had to get up and change the channel every time because the location of the box was behind the tv

The Pelican Beach Resort in itself is a beautiful place with a fantastic location. The staff was very friendly and the areas in and around the resort were neat and clean. The room we stayed in however was not at all what I expected. To start off, when we got up to our room, the door was hanging wide open. We soon learned that's because it didn't stay shut unless you slammed it.The place was filthy. I took pictures because I could not believe the condition. The doors had caked on dirt, they clearly hadn't been washed in a VERY long time. The curtains had food/drinks spattered on them. The trim in the bathroom had paint spattered on them. It just wasn't what I was expecting at all, not even close. I'd love to send pictures if someone could tell me how to do so. Thank you for your time.

The specific unit we were in was quite dated and needed some TLC, but all that was fine because the balcony overlooks the ocean, so everything was fine.

Bed super uncomfortable, patio furniture needs updated, need a Kureig/ more kitchen supplies, beach umbrellas at the front of the beach was an inconvenience if you wanted to sit close enough to watch your children. The bed was the biggest issue the sheets had lint balls on them and made them rough I woke up at 3am and went to the couch everyday we were there. Communication was great we were able to check in early.

Upon entering the room it smelled old / moldy Another foul smell at other times. Sewer gas? Couldn’t located it. Bugs in the main bathroom. Unfortunately, for us they were doing hurricane modifications on the bldg. . 8:00 am workers were banging around. At 7:00am the garbage truck banging around too the bedroom window is next to it. No rest was had. Room was located on the first floor. View of people at the pool. Could see the ocean. Parking easy, checkin fast, room had everything needed for the stay. Had to drive everywhere. Not a location if you wanted to walk to a restaurant.

Not an extravagant place but if you have a child/children.. the 3 pools and beach access will be great. Also a decent gym/steam room/sauna if you like that sort of thing. The available outdoor gas grills were great and we used them almost every day.
If you’re single or a couple looking for solitude and silence this may not be the place for you, it’s not really noisy but tons of kids running around almost constantly.

Our room was good, thought it would be a little bigger, but overall it was nice and clean.

I think it's bad that you enter at 4 and leave too early the space looks big and when you arrive it's small there are no food options and the bad restaurant is very bad

The pictures are nothing like the resort. Our dishwasher was broken, the fold out sofa was like sleeping on bars, there were bugs inside the condo, not enough blankets for everyone or pillows. They closed the pool at 6 one night when the sign said disk and was open until 9 all the other nights. The security was rude. For the amount of money paid, I was terribly disappointed and will not return. We go to Destin every year.

Balcony was a little sketchy on the corner of the 20th floor. It was slanted and seemed unsafe but the condo inside was as expect for a beach condo. Nothing special.
4.0
The first time we were here was great. Beautiful views! This time they were doing construction which we understand things need upgraded but there was no communication that it would be under construction. They closed our balcony off so we couldn't use it. Couldn't even open the door. The bedroom was right next to garbage shoot, you could hear the trash go all the way down. They closed the pool off. The front staff.. I'm not sure why they are there...they were not helpful at all.
