Pelican Beach Hotel

The most beautiful perfect spot on a gorgeous beach. Amazing. Lovely staff, all very kind, especially Kay. Delicious breakfasts every morning, brought to your room, different every day, terrific. The room is basic, older but clean. The location on the beach is the reason to stay here. Very peaceful.

We stayed at Pelican for 4 days, and it exceeded our expectations for an island-style beachfront hotel. We chose the "Sea Fan" suite, so can't comment on the other rooms. We found the staff to be friendly and usually efficient. Owner Donna is interesting to speak with. No problem with the pick-up from the ferry. Loved the Barracuda Beach Bar – perfectly located and provided a chance to meet some locals. The only downside is that the kitchen's menu is pretty limited. While tasty, it can seem monotonous after the first three days. (North Caicos doesn't have good supply lines.) And, yes, sandflies and mosquitos are a hazard anywhere on North Caicos, especially at dawn and dusk on windless days. Long if narrow beach is good for walking. We would go back.

This really is a lovely retreat. Very quiet (not for party animals!). The beach is spectacular and the sea is very safe for swimming. The staff were excellent, very efficient and friendly.

The place is ideally located, the staff is extremely kind and attentive. Food is great! Drinks as well.

Spent my birthday weekend here. We were quite happy with the service, rooms and amenities. Would, definitely, stay again.

If you want a quiet, peaceful island life experience then you need to go here. The North Island is charming and has everything you need for a week or two away and the Pelican is the diamond in the rough with Donna and her staff making us feel like friends not customers. The onsite restaurant has a good selection of food and everything we ate was very good. The bar is right on the beach and is an awesome place to grab a drink and watch the waves roll in. If all you need is a beach, a clean comfortable room, home cooked food and a friendly atmosphere then this is the place for you…

So if you like quiet and out of the way with amazing seafront/beach this is worth considering. The bar on the beach is splendid and the food fine (although pricey as everything in T&I). Be warned about mosquitoes and other bugs. They are horrid. But the over top reviews are misleading. First, our room was not cleaned when we arrived (found dirty towels and food remains). It was much better cleaned on day 2, but the skanky shower curtain never was. Second, the first day breakfast was shockingly bad: bowl of fruit with stale bread. But again on day 2 we received lovely cakes alongside this. Third, the room walls are paper-thin. Fourth, the beds are falling apart and squuek at tiniest movement. So you will hear *everything* in two rooms.:) If you don't have a car/rental you are kind of trapped, but again for some that's the point. Sixth, the whole hotel lacks mosquitoes nettings on all the windows so you can't leave windows open at night or dinner. The airco is splendid, but shower and other appliances can use a face-lift. We didn't always have warm water. We also didn't hit it off with the owner so we also had some odd interactions, but I saw her be very warm to others so maybe we rubbed her the wrong way. Then again, the dirty room was dirty before we arrived and somehow she didn't arrange for pickup at ferry.

We only stayed for one night, so we had 2 days to explore north and middle Caicos. The hotel was perfect for us, we got a room with view to the ocean, it was amazing to wake up looking at that blue marvelous sea. We also really enjoyed the dinner (they have the best restaurant in North Caicos) and the breakfast served at our room.
