Pelican Bay Hotel

From the room, to the grounds, to the staff everything was incredible at Pelican Bay! It's perfectly located just a short walk from the marketplace and a short, scenic, ferry ride to Taino Beach (where you have access to the beach, pools, etc.). The grounds are beautifully landscaped with stunning water views. We were treated to breathtaking sunsets over the marina from our balcony. The lighting at night creates a magical ambiance throughout the grounds.
We were in one of the more updated rooms. It was spacious and modern. I know it's a small thing but I loved the nice touches like hooks on the balcony to hang your beach towels. Housekeeping is every 2nd day..which suited us just fine.
There are 3 beautiful pools but they were a bit too cold for us during our visit in February. There isn't a beach on site but in addition to the free ferry to the Taino Beach resort you can also pay $25 for a day pass at the Lighthouse Pointe resort right next door.
We enjoyed the breakfast buffet .... lots to choose from and a bit of variety every day. You'd have to be extremely fussy not to find something to enjoy. We also really enjoyed our meal at Sabor Restaurant....wonderful service and delicious food! Bones Bar was also a popular hang out on the water's edge...cold drinks, reasonable prices and stunning views. There are numerous other bars and restaurants within walking distance (we enjoyed the Flying Fish right next door).
We had nothing but positive experiences with the staff. Everyone we dealt with was warm, friendly and attentive.
We highly recommend Pelican Bay if you are planning a trip to Freeport!! [Détails]

perfect for one week [Détails]

The Pelican Bay is a locally owned and operated hotel that caters to both local and foreign tourists. It has a nice atmosphere compare to the bigger hotels in the same area. The room decor is ecclectic. The AC noisy and the overall facilities need some TLC. [Détails]

The facilities at Pelican Bay were pretty much what we'd expected, and the service was excellent - the people are so friendly. [Détails]

A boutique hotel with friendly and helpful front desk staff. Nice pool by Sabor retaurant. Comfortable lounge chairs. 6 min ferry ride to Taino Beach .... take it! Beach much nicer than one across from Lucayan Market .... Breakfast included .... situated on 4th floor of new building that caters to weddings ... lovely venue ... breakfast on balcony overlooking inner harbour .... room ok ... but view of suite which is really a 1 bedroom apt blew me away .... next time will opt for suite .... very few people around pool exc for Saturdays ..... all in all a real jewel ... its not a resort .... its a boutique hotel and one my wife and I will definitely be going back to ... the weather was perfect so this probably helps the experience there .... 5 min walk from hotel to market with restaurants, stores and Count Basie square (for entertainment at night) The best beach was Gold Rock across the street from Lucayan National Park. Breathtaking at low tide! Flying Fish restaurant beside hotel ranked in top 5 in Caribbean. [Détails]

My wife were very pleased with our stay at Pelican Bay.Especially worth noting was the excellent breakfast and the friendly and accommodating staff. [Détails]

First time visiting the Bahamas and was pleasantly impressed with the entire experience. The flight from Toronto to touchdown in Freeport was Fantastic. Would recommend this hotel and location
Local people are extremely friendly and go out of their way to accomodate you . Will return [Détails]

friendly, welcoming, efficient staff. Great location - near enough to marketplace and amenities while still being private. Great view of canal. [Détails]

We received a free upgrade from a regular room to an enormous state room with breakfast included, in-room coffee. At first we were worried as hotel is not adjacent to the beach, but we did find the ferry service to the beach was convenient and frequent enough. Beach was amazing. Hotel within close walking distance to the market place for shopping, restaurants, etc. Walking distance to other hotels, casino. Hotel service was very good. We were blown away by our feeling of security in the area. Travelled off-season, so area was quiet. [Détails]

Well maintained and continues to be upgraded without interfering with the guests [Détails]

Was pleasantly surprised with this hotel, it was close the airport and for the most part very well kept. HUGE rooms and really cool decor. Includes a NESPRESSO coffee/cappucino press and the discs! Handy and close walk to all the restaurants, market, casino, etc. Would definately return! Beach is nice, must go by water taxi (10 mins) to Taino Beach. [Détails]
