Pelican Resort Club
A Simpson Bay timeshare resort with beach access and a central location
Why Go
Pelican Resort Club sits on the Simpson Bay lagoon side of the Billy Folly peninsula, putting you in the middle of the island's most active tourist corridor. The resort has been a fixture in the Simpson Bay area for years, and its location gives you walking access to beaches, restaurants, casinos, and nightlife without needing a car for most outings. If you're looking for a base that keeps you connected to the action, Pelican delivers on convenience.
The Experience
The resort offers condo-style units with kitchen facilities, which is a practical advantage for longer stays or families watching their dining budget. The property has pool areas and access to the Simpson Bay beaches. The surrounding area is dense with restaurants, bars, and shops, so you'll never run out of options within walking distance. The vibe is relaxed and unpretentious — this isn't a five-star luxury resort, but it's a solid, well-located home base.
What to Try
Walk to Kim Sha Beach for sunset drinks at one of the beach bars. The Simpson Bay strip has some of the island's best casual restaurants within a ten-minute walk. Hollywood Casino is practically next door if you want an evening of table games. Rent a car for one day to explore the French side and more remote beaches.
Insider Tip
The resort's value is in its location more than its amenities. Use it as a launching pad — eat out at the excellent Simpson Bay restaurants rather than cooking in every night. The Billy Folly area gets a nice breeze off the water that keeps things comfortable even in summer.
