Pelican Beach Resort by Panhandle Getaways

I really didn't like being told that we had to wear a wrist band for our entire vacation, like we're teenagers at a club. The staff seemed really unhappy with life in general. The room smelled moldy when we arrived but wasn't too bad once we opened the balcony doors. There was a surprising amount of cookware which was nice. The tiki bar was good but I never found the cafe.

I was given an access code to the property. I made an attempt call the front desk of the resort to explain that the access code was not working when we arrived, then the front desk told me i needed to call *******, bc i booked with a 3rd party I needed to call ******* to get the access code (again), which mind you I already had it. But it was not working. I then called ******* and they told me they needed to to contact the resort as well. Neither parties were helping I waited over an hr and no one could help. I then called the number on the door which was another number for the resort. And that actually helped bc the gentleman had to RESET the code since the first code that was provided to me did not work. It only needed to be reset! The fact thatthe staff at the front desk of the resort did not explain that to me, and kept referring me to the ******* was upsetting. The gentleman who i finally spoke to knew that the door access code have issues as times but no one else would elaborate that to me.

This condo was perfect and beach front. It was a perfect place for family but not only. I would recommend to everyone.

It's crazy to spend the money to stay here and the hot tub and pool close at dusk.

Property was nice, balcony was right above the pool so it was noisy during the day. Rental chairs took up all the beach so if you had your own chairs, you have to set up behind them. Could not set up close to water. No trespassing signs on both sides of beach so walking on the beach was a little confusing. Front desk was not very helpful on finding our room. Kinda just sign here, here is parking pass and that’s about all was said. We had to ask a security guard. Shut down pool at 3:00 for a private party. There was other pools but not beach front.

I came to Destin for my daughter’s 1st birthday celebration. Let me start off by saying my main purpose and goal was the ocean…and this unit did not disappoint. The pictures are dull compared to how beautiful it is when you walk onto the balcony. We could watch the sun set from the balcony. This rental had everything we needed except washer and dryer which was my mistake - I didn’t realize the one bedrooms do not have washer and dryers. We had issues in the beginning with the dishwasher and air conditioner ..both issues were fixed promptly. Any questions I had received a quick friendly response. As I mentioned before I came for the beach and that is where I was everyday until the sun went down..I was not there to critiqe each room and search for flaws. The bed was comfortable , I had hot water and working ice machine! Very close to Walmart , target and multiple other shops and food places , coffee shops and ice cream. 3 pools, cafe and tiki bar all great! They had security on property at all times and patrolled the area as well. I have nothing bad to say about this place - we had an amazing trip. Thank you for opening up your place and allowing us to soak up the beauty for the week !!
