Top Notch Service & Stay
The bungalows, grounds & golf course are gorgeous and all of the service was outstanding. We relaxed at the beautiful heated coliseum pool while our rooms were being made. We only stayed one night to celebrate my birthday and they immediately came with complimentary champagne & chocolates which we thoroughly appreciated & enjoyed. We didn't eat at the hotel so no comment on that. We loved that there was a self-parking lot at the main area & that we could park our car at our bungalow. Lastly, maid service was excellent. We had to rush to get ready for our dinner reservations & so my stuff was all over the bathroom. When we came back, all new fresh towels, our charger chords were tied together, & all my toiletries were laid out nicely. Such a nice touch!!

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.
