The room was very dirty. I don’t think you treat the staff well enough because they don’t look happy at all.
Cleaning is terrible. Probably the staff only change the beds and bathroom. The dinner table, sofas, furniture…

- That the desk is staffed when you land, and that the room is held past cut-off.
- Whether there is room for a pickup, a trailer or a van, not just a car.

Questions about Pelican Beach Resort Destin
What time is check-in and check-out at Pelican Beach Resort Destin?
Check-in is from 4:00 PM. Check-out is by 10:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.
Does Pelican Beach Resort Destin allow pets?
No — the property states that pets are not allowed.
Is there parking at Pelican Beach Resort Destin?
Yes — the property states that parking on site is free. Whether a space can be reserved in advance varies, so we check it against your dates.
Does Pelican Beach Resort Destin have a pool?
Yes — a pool is listed among the property's facilities. Seasonal closures are common, so we'll confirm it's open for your dates.
Is breakfast included at Pelican Beach Resort Destin?
Breakfast is offered at the property. Whether it's included depends on the rate — the board type is shown on each room once you put your dates in.
Does Pelican Beach Resort Destin have Wi-Fi?
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
Can I book a block of rooms at Pelican Beach Resort Destin?
The property lists meeting and banquet space, which usually means it handles group business — but how many rooms it will hold at once, for how long, and at what rate are set case by case and are not in any feed. Tell us the dates and the number of rooms and we'll get those terms from the property in writing before anything is charged.
Does Pelican Beach Resort Destin have wheelchair accessible rooms?
The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.
Can I check in late at Pelican Beach Resort Destin?
The property lists a front desk staffed 24 hours, so a late arrival should be possible. Standard check-in is from 4:00 PM. Rooms are still released after a cut-off at some properties regardless of the desk hours, so tell us your arrival time and we'll have them hold it.
How do I book Pelican Beach Resort Destin?
Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
