The condo was beautiful and well maintained. Sleeping was perfect for 4 adults and 2 teenagers. It was close to everything and the pools, tiki bar, and cafe made it even easier to not have to get out during the day! Pelican Beach Resort has everything you need! We also did a day at Crab Island.It is a must see!
