The Pools
Yes, the Pelican Grand is a beach front hotel and of course you will want to spend a lot of time in the sand. However, save some time for the pool as well. The high end pool area is relaxing and exciting at the same time. Your entire family can enjoy some pool time at the Pelican Grand.
The main pool is zero entry, meaning you walk into it just like the ocean, where the depth of the water gradually increases with each step. Young kids can splash around in this pool without getting too deep and needing assistance. Even when traveling without kids, this zero entry style is amazing if you want to sunbathe in the water to keep cool.
The pool is still oceanfront, surrounded by tropical palm trees. There is nothing that feels more like paradise than lounging pool side surrounded by palms with a fabulous drink in your hand.
If you really enjoy the water but want the ultimate in soothing experiences, grab a raft and ride the Lazy River. The gentle current will push you along through the only Lazy River in Fort Lauderdale. Float the day away under sunny Florida skies at the pools at the Pelican Grand Beach Resort!
Dining
For upscale dining, the Pelican Grand has Ocean2000. This high end restaurant is loved by guests and locals alike. It is one of the best restaurants in Fort Lauderdale. Offering American faire like seafood and steaks, there is something for everyone. They even offer an incredible oceanfront brunch on Sunday, and if you are traveling with your family, there is a kid’s menu!
The O2K Lounge is the perfect spot for lighter fare and small plates. Stop in here for one (or two!) of their world class cocktails during their famous happy hour. The lounge overlooks the tropical pool and the ocean.
For a sweet and unexpected treat, you must visit The Emporium. This old fashion ice cream parlor serves up coffee and baked goods along with some of the best ice cream you’ve ever had. You will feel like you traveled back in time to a 1950s ice cream parlor. There isn’t a better way to cool off after time in the Florida sun than with an ice cream sundae.
