Fodor's "The best bet is to head down to the Pelican's porch-front restaurant, which offers one of the most extensive wine lists in town and a bar-none view of Ocean Drive's people parade"
Gayot "To enter the hotel, guests walk in through the busy bar to the back reception area"
Oyster "While facilities are limited, the street-front cafe and bar are popular and buzzy, plus free cocktails can help guests get in the mood"
Star Service "There is no resort fee, though management now includes a few fabulous perks in the room rate: two complimentary drinks during the daily happy hour in the bar (4-6 pm) Continental breakfast, Wi-Fi and beach chairs and beach towels"
