Pelican Beach Hotel

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.

Stayed in 12/2023 PROS - Beachfront - Delicious chicken wings - Laid back, private, remote - Very nice owner/manager CONS - Unbearable mosquitoes/sand flies/noseeums - Unbearable mosquitoes/sand flies/noseeums - Unbearable mosquitoes/sand flies/nosseums We were told that the only thing that works is to put oil on your body 🫤

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.

Family like feeling from the moment we arrived. Very warm and caring staff.Communication between staff was a plus. This location’s view and team make this is hidden gem. My husband and I have been enamored with or stay here. Kay and Donna, millions of thank you’s for a magnificent holiday & beautiful memories that were created. Staff provided extensive tips to the islands best and beautiful places to experience. Car rental, assistance for this is provided by the hotel to travel North Caicos.

Traveled to North Caicos on a whim because we couldn't find last-minute lodging on Provo for one of the nights on our trip. Pelican Beach was a perfect spot for us. The location is right on the beach. Room was clean. Service was good. Staff was friendly and accommodating. Called the hotel before arrival and they procured a taxi (get Mac with M&M if you can!) for us to pick us up from the ferry terminal. There is a small beach bar on-site that makes a good rum punch and has a small menu that is varied enough for anyone. Not much around so if you don't have a car you still have everything you need right here.

What a beautiful spot off the beaten path for an authentic Caribbean experience. The setting is idyllic and the white sand beach is steps from your room. The rooms are nice, clean, and simple. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. The owner Donna is very sweet and attentive to her guests. What a great place to unwind in a beautiful, quiet, uncrowded setting. The Barracuda Beach Bar and Restaurant has excellent food and drinks. The daily breakfast served in your room was a great treat too. Get to North Caicos and have an authentic Caribbean experience. We won’t soon forget this trip!
