Nice place, but a little far away from Caloundra.

Good value place to stay for a work trip to the Sunshine Coast. Very reasonable price for rooms thru the week, much higher on weekends. Has a restaurant/bar with room service on-site which is convenient. As it's a 5min drive back to shops & pub at Pelican Waters. Loved the outlook from room over golf course & pool area.

Overall stay was good. Staff at the Thai Restaurant clearing our dinner plates before we can finish our dinner. Some of the staff at the cafe/restaurant not friendly. Management needs to step in and give them a talk on how to do their job.

We had a great time during our stay at Pelican Waters Resort. The room was big and had plenty of space. The beds were comfortable. We also loved the underground gated parking. It was safe and made things very easy, especially when carrying bags. The only small problem was the bathroom sink. It was a bit too shallow, which made it a little awkward to use. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back. We’d recommend this place to anyone!
