“Lucaya's best Hotel”
I've visited Grand Bahama since 1989 and stayed in many places. Pelican Bay is the nicest hotel on GBI. I miss the activity that Freeport was once famous. The Bahamian Government seems to be directing tourism to Nassau as many places have closed and not reopened over the years. Pelican Bay and the new direct flights on Vision Airways make Port Lucaya a nice, quick, warm getaway but the excitement of vacationing there has been lost.
“The experience was more than i expected. We were very happy with everything. Cant wait to go back .”
The hotel is beautiful and the rooms are to die for.
“Absolutelly not raccomended”
The room smell bad the sheet was broken and the AC was too noise
“Off-season trip”
Was there in the off-season for business trip. Nice quiet surroundings. Easy access to restaurants, bars, and shopping.
“Better indeed”
The true test of a resort hotel is when you go during the off-season, there's no guests there, and you still get fresh friendly service. I know Grand Bahama and I wouldn't recommend anywhere else to stay there.
“labor day”
Hotel was ok...been better if on beach.
“Average will return”
Very private atmosphere, the air-condition noisy had to turn it off and used the ceiling fan.
“Loved, loved Pelican Bay and the Bahamas!!! Will be back soon!”
My flight arrived early so I got the hotel about 12:30 p.m.; my room was ready--no problem!! The girl at the front desk (Thomasina) was pleasant, friendly and gave me two free bahama mamas, and I needed them! The room was large and clean, a little dated, but comfortable. It had a nice balcony with a beautiful view of the water--with boats going up and down the channel all day! I had breakfast included in my package--and it was hot and delicious every day! I'm already planning my return--can't wait. Will definitely return to Pelican Bay and will definitely use Expedia to book my trip!!!
“Great Place To Vacation”
Much nicer than other places on the same island , close to everything you want to do or go to .
“Nice and CLEAN”
Nice and clean Hotel within a walking distance from Lucaya Market.
