Disliked: Amenities
Rooms are large but the services are terrible. Expect a loong wait in the restaurant - the most chaotic I have ever seen. The breakfast is of awful quality, and whatever there is cannot be found two following days, even little jellys or oatmeal. I will certainly look elsewhere next time

The property is nice stayed there a few years ago. Doors (especially bathroom ) , counter tops and furnitures needs more attention . For the pull out sofa better bedding should be given to guests. The amount of monies spent. Staff all around was excellent. Our stay was great and will return when return to Grand Bahama.

I have been to Exuma, Nassau and Abaco. They all have their strengths, this one was the best mix of amenities, bars and markets nearby. There's a back path directly to all of it from the hotel pool. 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.

I like the fact that the hotel is a very short walk to the Lucaya Marketplace and the Flying Fish restaurant is right next to the resort. The staff was friendly and helped me procure a taxi . They have a free shuttle to a nearby resort that is on the beach.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. This was our second time staying at Pelican Bay. The staff were very pleasant and helpful, the rooms were well appointed, clean and modern. The property is very walkable with many dining options on property and close by. The location on the water is very serene and photo worthy! Pelican Bay was an excellent stay and provided great value for the money we spent.This would definitely be our first choice again.
