Can't wait to go back!
Celebrating my wife's birthday led us to choose Pelican Hill for a luxurious staycation, and it exceeded expectations. FIVE STARS. Ahead of our arrival, they fulfilled our request for a microwave and surprised us with a delightful chocolate cake, complete with a personalized note for my wife. Transportation in luxurious Mercedes SUVs around the resort added to the exceptional experience. The staff's personalized service, addressing us by name throughout our stay, was a thoughtful touch. The privacy of the bungalows, free from the typical hotel layout, was highly enjoyable. Our time at Pelican Hill was truly remarkable, and we're already eager for our next visit.

Our first time at Pelican Hill, won’t be the last. The staff was absolutely amazing. Guest services hit a 10+. Where many resorts fail, Pelican Hill’s ADA room was actually accessible, comfortable and well thought out.

Great resorts, stay away from the Colosseum restaurant for breakfast. The lady manager there is disaster. Incredibly rude and unprofessional. Otherwise, the hotel is lovely.
