Directly on Fort Lauderdale Beach, Pelican Grand Beach Resort has an easy old-Florida character, with ocean views, verandas and palms setting the tone. Rooms and suites are bright and beach-facing in spirit, many with balconies or separate sitting areas, while the wider resort is made for unrushed days by the Atlantic. Guests move between the private beach, zero-entry pool, lazy river, OCEAN2000, the ice-cream parlour and Pure Spa. It feels relaxed and family-friendly without losing its sense of coastal polish.
