It was a nice condo with a great view. The unit was clean and the property was in a good location. The living room tv in this unit was old and would only play sound with no picture. After informing the property management the tv was replaced with a brand new larger tv the next day. The cupboards were well-stocked with dishes and cookware. The pools were nice but the hot tubs were underwhelming. The jets seemed to barely work but we didn't end up using them too often anyway. The food in the cafe was actually decent and drinks from the tiki bar were good. I would recommend this unit. Also make sure to eat at Boshamp's at least once because that was some of the best food I've ever had.

The condo was beautiful and well maintained. Sleeping was perfect for 4 adults and 2 teenagers. It was close to everything and the pools, tiki bar, and cafe made it even easier to not have to get out during the day! Pelican Beach Resort has everything you need! We also did a day at Crab Island.It is a must see!
