Fodor's Expert Review Protea Hotel by Marriott Pelican Bay

Esplanade Park, Walvis Bay, Erongo, Namibia

This centrally located establishment is right on the water's edge and along the palm-lined promenade, which means you can look out onto the Walvis Bay Lagoon from all of the rooms (but the junior suite) and the restaurant. There is a short pier just in front of the hotel, which makes for a great spot to watch or photograph the resident flamingos and pelicans.

PROS

  • family-friendly, with connecting rooms
  • safe and secure, complimentary parking
  • prime location with lagoon-facing rooms that have wooden decks

CONS
