Book a hotel near Pelican Hill Golf Course, Newport Coast

"The good reviews have me mystified! The room was one of the most uncomfortable I’ve ever stayed in. The property is incredibly dated and in desperate need of refurbishment. The bathroom layout is plain dumb. Nowhere to hang towels. , let alone swimsuits. There is no place to hang a hand towel so it’s damp all the time. We were next to the swimming pool but couldn’t dry our wet swimsuits. The front desk staff were apathetic at best. No offer to help with bags and no elevators for bags. Not sure what the $40 per day resort fee paid for besides towels but seemed a bit excessive for just towels. Awful experience and we couldn’t wait to leave. "

"The property is very well kept. Staff is very attentive. Rooms are well suited and fresh. Restaurant and bars feature well prepared food and drink. Set restaurant was very cool at night in the outdoor seating."

"Room were very spacious and clean carpet looked dirty but overall was great"

"Great little spot, super comfy bed. Everything was just as it should be. Slept better there the first night than I ever have in past hotels, rentals, etc. The good reviews for this spot are 100% true."

"Loved our stay at Villa Del Mar! It was perfect for our needs. Very clean! Host was very responsive. Street parking was easy - no problems. Lots of nearby restaurants to walk to. We didn’t use the washer and dryer this visit. Looking forward to the next time we can visit Villa Del Mar!!"

"Amazing 3-day weekend at The Resort at Pelican Hill! Our 3-bedroom villa had breathtaking ocean views, the spa was incredible, and the pool service was outstanding. A perfect, relaxing getaway — can’t wait to return!"
