What guests think

Across many reviews, Pelican Bay Hotel is praised for very clean, spacious rooms, friendly staff, and a convenient waterfront location by Port Lucaya with easy walking to restaurants and shops plus free ferry or shuttle access to Taino Beach.

Many appreciate the relaxing atmosphere, lagoon views, multiple small pools, and on-site dining, with families valuing the large suites. Common drawbacks include inconsistent breakfast quality and service, occasional maintenance or musty-odor issues in some rooms, and a few reports of slow check-in or poor information. The area around the marketplace can feel quiet or run-down after dark, and the hotel is not directly on the beach. Overall, expect a clean, comfortable base and a laid-back, convenient stay in Freeport.

This property finally has a small gym that was more than adequate for me to get a good workout every morning. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The property was clean and quiet. I would absolutely stay here again, and recommend it to family and friends.

The 3 pools onsite at the Pelican are small but nice. The restaurant at the pool was convenient and delicious. The staff is very nice and helpful. You have to take the free ferry (or shuttle) to Taino Beach and this is where you find the fun slide, and swim up cave bar that you see in some of the pictures. We really enjoyed this pool. Would def recommend, especially for a family of five bc the room was big enough and they brought a cot for small fee.

I live locally and always book Pelican Bay Resort for my family & friends. They offer a ‘local’s only’ welcoming, inviting and authentically Bahamian experience. 3 pools, 3 restaurants, access to Taino Beach Resort or simply a hammock with (or without) WIFI and a view. Affordable, family friendly (kitchens & playground) including a Pop Up Gallery featuring Bahamian masters from National Gallery in Nassau. Enjoy the Pelican Bay - it’s home away from home, island style.

Great resort. Be sure to check the in room brochure and map of the property because there is so much offered by way of activities that is not visible. Some of the design angles of the property and trees, you don’t see a number of swinging pools, poolside bars, chartered boat and more.

This is my second year in a row staying at Pelican Bay, and once again, it’s five stars across the board. The property is perfectly located—just steps away from great restaurants and shopping. The staff is incredibly friendly and always willing to help, making the experience even more enjoyable. Everything is spotless and peaceful, providing a relaxing atmosphere throughout the stay. The suites are impressively spacious—larger than many apartments around the world! I highly recommend Pelican Bay if you’re visiting Freeport, Grand Bahama. It’s truly a top-notch choice.

I highly recommend visiting the Greek café in the village next-door for breakfast, lunch and dinner or bones bar downstairs for a quick drink. The front desk staff were amazing and love the free apples such a nice touch.

My only negative is that the balcony was great to sit and relax, but the noise and the heat produced by the AC in the room made it impossible for me to enjoy. Beyond that, the facilities were excellent.

It was dark when I got there and I was given vague directions to my room. The property was dark and scary. And signage was not illuminated. Honestly the Checkin person was not welcoming. Probably because she knew I was given the worse room. It was difficult to get the key card to unlock the door, the toilet ran constantly unless I opened the lid and unhooked the chain ( I didn’t bother asking them to fix it. It was easier for me to do it), the air conditioner was so loud I just tried using the ceiling fan but that squeaked and my room was located by the restaurant and dock so there was constant music and/or loud boat leaving every hour. I visited this hotel seven years ago and it was great that’s why I came back. But I won’t go back again.

The people are super friendly and the food was good. Room was more updated than the other 3 islands. Massive beach walking distance too. Safe. Cops walking around the market at night.

The breakfast at the resort was disappointing although I heaes good things about it. The food was cold and the burners were not turned on. The restaurant was unattended so we just left and saved the $20 breakfast price for Zorbas which was next door in walking distance.
