Front Desk Staff was GREAT! We ate outside one night and the FOOD was DEEEE-LISH-US!!!! The only two dislikes were the bed was extremely hard. Was not comfortable...and...being on Ocean Dr, the music played until about 1am(ish). All we heard was the Bass. So if you are an early "bedder", you may not want to stsy as any hotel on Ocean Drive. But overall, the Pelican was nice! (PS: the food was really good!!)

Perfect location on South Beach. You can walk everywhere. Staff were amazing, very attentive and friendly. Breakfast included with room was very convenient. Room looked to be recently renovated which was nice . Only downside was a green throw rug under the bed, it was thick and a slight trip hazard. Also looked dirty. Beach right across the street, they offered beach towels and had chairs available.

Love the vibe!Our recent stay at this hotel was wonderful! From the time we arrived at the hotel, we were greeted with the most warm and helpful staff! The front desk personnel Wardell was very accommodating and welcoming! We arrived very early from the airport and asked him if we could leave our bags until the check in time, and he was very kind enough to check if any room was available to accommodate us! He let us check in earlier than expected and we were able to rest and relax in our room before we enjoyed a delicious lunch in the hotel restaurant! The free drinks in the afternoon was wonderful and the drinks were large enough with the right buzz! We mostly ate at their restaurant and enjoyed their fresh seafood! Loved their calamari ( to die for) and their fresh fish! The free towels and chairs were nice to have as an inclusive with the room plus the free plated breakfast were big servings and cooked fresh every time you order! We have tried big resorts and hotels in Miami Beach every year but I must say, we will have to change our pattern and return to this hotel every year now! And I must mention their music! If you are are a Gen X traveler, you will love their mix! I’d give this hotel a 9/10!

We had a great stay overall. The breakfast was tasty and more than enough to start the day. The hotel’s restaurant was also consistently good, making dining convenient. Our room was clean and well-maintained, and the resort fee included 2 beach chairs and beach towels. Though, the resort fee is almost same as renting the chairs on the spot. The location on Ocean Drive is excellent—perfect for enjoying the oceanfront atmosphere. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay.
