This resort offers a lovely experience with its well-maintained cottages just a short stroll away from the pier, making it perfect for those who enjoy fishing. The charming atmosphere and community spaces enhance the stay, though some maintenance issues raised concerns, especially about our cabin's specific setup. Additionally, there's a bit of a walk to the pier that could be tricky for some visitors.

Our stay at Pelican Bay Resort was delightful! The mini suite was conveniently located just steps away from the pool, making it easy to enjoy a swim. Fishing from the private pier was a fantastic bonus, especially with the green lights to attract the fish at night. However, I think the dining options could be improved, as we mostly had to eat out. Overall, it's a charming spot that we would love to revisit soon.
