Pelican Beach Hotel

We loved our stay at Pelican Beach! They have such a cute set up where you truly are right on the beach. The accommodation were clean, comfortable and private and it is amazing to be less than 20 steps from the water. You can hear the waves from all of the property. The barracuda beach bar is part of the hotel and has amazing sunset views. Everyone is so friendly and welcoming. The little breakfasts each morning were good and homemade. If you are looking for a place away from it all for relaxation and disconnection, this is definitely your place!

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 🫤

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.

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!

We were staying in the Turks and Caicos for 10 days and decided to do a day trip over to the North Turks. We stopped in here, at the Barracuda Beach bar (at the Pelican Beach Hotel), for a couple drinks and snacks. Location was incredible. The bar is literally right on an incredible stretch of beach (you walk right off the deck and you're in the sand). Service was good (thank you, Wilnise), and prices were reasonable. I tried the BBQ **** Wings and they were fantastic! If you're on the North Turks, would certainly recommend this bar.

Beautiful setting and a relaxed island vibe. We were blessed to find this spot. Donna the host has really perfected a low key island stay- tranquil setting and a beach 10 paces from our door. They have also started doing a breakfast delivered to your room. These meals included blueberry pancakes one day and french toast another. It’s a quiet place yo get away and recharge. You will need a car to truly enjoy the notth and middle experience

This is a terrific small beach front hotel. You couldn't get any closer to the beach! Very clean and friendly. They were always ready to help with anything you might need as well as tips for things to do on the island. They also have a great restaurant and bar on the property. We would definitely recommend the Pelican Beach Hotel for anyone looking for a place to stay and/or eat on North Caicos.

second time at Pelican Beach. As wonderful as before. I do miss Clifford but his daughter is lovely and so very nice. The location is just like you want, beautiful and very quite. This is what the islands were like, before before the Ritz's came. It is so worth going to north and Middle Caicos and to pend a night or two at Pelican Beach so you can slow down and enjoy.
