Pelican Grand Beach Resort

At water’s edge, Pelican Grand Beach Resort in sun-soaked Fort Lauderdale, Florida, gives groups eight indoor and outdoor event spaces including room for receptions around the zero-entry pool and two rooftop venues with endless ocean views.

While a majority of the 156 accommodations?many with balconies?face the sand and sea, every one features in-room entertainment systems, mini refrigerators, microwaves, and complimentary high-speed Internet. During daylight, most spend time enjoying the hotel’s ample amenities such as its Lazy River ride, poolside lounge, an ice cream parlor, and the “surf and turf” temptations of North Ocean Grille. Dining selections are also available on the beach so guests don’t have to leave their loungers. And if sitting by the surf wasn’t soothing enough, there’s Diamanté Cabana Beach spa to wash over the senses.
