Lucaya - The Ferry House at Pelican Bay, The Bahamas

Pelican Bay is one of the hotels at Lucaya. The first year we were here, the shuttle from Lucaya Village stopped at the Pelican Bay restaurant. Then it would go around to the pool and pool bar side and let us off and we'd walk around to the market place and when we were finished shopping or eating, we'd get the water taxi back.

The picture is a romanticized version of what we saw from the water taxi.

From their website:
"Open daily from 12:00 until 2:30 pm for lunch, and 6:00 and 10:00 pm for dinner. The restaurant is open for lunch on Monday, but is closed on Monday evenings.

"The dress is casually elegant in the spirit of the Bahama Islands. We serve cocktails, and also offer wines by the glass or bottle. Plan on 2 hours for the dining experience."
