Pelican Grand Beach Resort, a Noble House Resort

We had the Ocean view 2 king room which was very roomy and well appointed. Location is great and view. Beach amenities are nice. What could be improved that was very inconvenient was the broken down elevator - wait times super long for each ride up/down. Valet parking was a mess - long wait, valet brought us the wrong car etc. Hotel mgr made it right for us, but when you charge $60 a day for parking - this needs to be spot on and fast. Elevators are a must and need to be in working order or swiftly fixed.

Could be a lot better

This is a decent hotel in a great location on the water in Fort Lauderdale Beach. But, to call it a resort is going a bit too far. We have come to associate a resort to have a plethora of activities, restaurant options and personnel that goes out of their way to make feel comfortable during your stay. We never had that feeling from arrival to departure. To be fair, the room was great but the service was just so-so. We had to wait for someone to take the car for valet as the attendants were goofing off. At $60/night, I would expect more. We made reservations in their one and only restaurant and went down early that afternnon to remind them it was our 50th wedding anniversary besides being Mothers day, and requested the best seat outside. The receptionist very sternly reminded us it could not be guaranteed, reciting company policy which was first come first served. Even though we were an hour away I accepted it; OK, it just wasnt very friendly communication. She could have been a little more understanding or accomodating, such as: "Wow, that's wonderful, can't gurantee it, but let me see what I can do".

Every single detail about the property was amazing. The fresh floral smell in the foyer was always welcoming the many different food options areas the ice cream/gift store, an overall great concierge service was just top-notch. Will definitely return.

Housekeeping stole my expensive sneakers. I left them by my bed as had to move rooms. There is absolutely no way they could be overlooked. Thieves still get hired I guess.
