Pelican Bay Hotel Freeport, Bahamas
More photosExpert reviews
“Close to the beach with rooms overlooking Port Lucaya Marina or waterfront along the canal, Pelican Bay has a funky modern appeal, and suites overflow with character and decorative elements collected from around the world. Building exteriors are fancifully trimmed in West Indian latticework and red barrel-tile roofs.”

Great stay, will definitely visit again. To score a perfect 10 they only need to improve breakfast.
Beautiful location with very friendly and helpful personnel. Rooms are very spacious, clean and well maintained. Any requests or remarks are dealt with properly.
Breakfast is not what is expected for such a nice hotel. No pastries, very limited cold cuts and even the fruit drinks taste very artificial.

Very good
The staff was amazing and always willing to help. The location is great it's right beside the marina and marketplace.
A false alarm went off in the middle of the night, but that could've happened anywhere. I didn't realize until after I made the reservation that there was no direct beach access. This wasn't an issue because there is a free ferry that takes you to Taino Beach.

Nice location
The staff was very friendly, I had an issue with getting the air condition on and front desk sent someone up within 5 minutes to correct the issue with was great. I liked how the property is centrally located with lots of restaurants and activities to keep you busy. Would stay again.
I was disappointed because upon booking the room I had requested a king size bed, which I did not receive, so I called down to the front desk and was told there weren't any more rooms available with the king bed, therefore making my sleep a bit uncomfortable and I didn't get much sleep. The room could've been a bit cleaner, I stayed at the property recently for the year and the room I had then was much better than the one I had on this visit.
