There are better known and ritzier resorts, but if you want to truly relax and enjoy the Bahamas then this is the place for you. Great location even though you will need to walk across the street to get to the beach. Three nice pools, location is on the bay side of Port Lucaya. The beauty in that is it is very relaxing to watch the boats come and go by the pool. Continental breakfast is great and on the water every morning. Staff are some of the best people you will meet. Port Lucaya Marketplace is right next door. Restaurants and shopping closer than any other resort.

The staff, the location, the activities are among the best. Perfectly located next to Unexso for dolphin and diving activities, a short walk to the beach, another short walk to the market place for any type of food desired. The people of Freeport are always friendly and kind. We will return to Pelican Bay as often as possible!

Our room had an adjoning door to the next room and our neighbors were noisy and rude, so request a room without the door. Also, the pools were not heated and were too cold for swimming when we were there in early March. The rest of the accomodations were excellent and I would highly recommend Pelican Bay.

We were very pleased with whole Bahamas weekend getaway. The people were never put out and it seemed generally interested in chatting and exchanging pleasantries. Location of this hotel is amazing. On the quiet side of the Our Lucaya properties, with a great marina view. The beach was about a two block walk which we enjoyed. Excellent bar and proximity to The Marketplace. Pool areas are a bit dull, but everything else made up for it. Taino Beach Resort pool is worth the 5 min. ferry ride. Nice to have a free, albeit sparce continental breakfast each morning.

Check the weather first. January can be rainy and overcast. Nice hotel, great service, and close to the "downtown" area.
