We arranged transportation a week in advance as the property indicated. Driver canceled while we were in the air and offered no solution. Property advertises transportation, no one was there to pick us up. Limited lounge chairs for the beach and grass lounge chairs so we were not able to hang out on property and relax. Nice location, clean room and good bay to swim in. Dining room was nice and good food and servers efficient.

They wouldn't let us open the umbrella at the beach...front desk didn't believe that we didn't have beach towels...made my husband run to the room twice because they didn't believe us ..so he brought down the shower towels to prove a point. Maybe wouldn't have been that big of a deal but we were exhausted from traveling.

Our stay at The Pelican Beach Resort was enjoyable. Our rooms were clean and comfortable. The grounds are small but nice. We appreciated having our own lounge chairs and umbrella in the garden as well as on the beach. The swimming was lovely, very relaxing in both the ocean and in the pool. As for the food, we only ate breakfast there once. It's a nice buffet, but expensive. I guess it's worth it if you're a big eater, but if you just want toast and coffee I wouldn't recommend it. The dinner menu was very expensive so we chose to have dinner elsewhere. The staff are really excellent! Super nice, helpful people at the front desk, staffing the bar, and cleaning the rooms. The downside: we assumed they would have a parking lot and they don't. Your choices are to risk parking on the street, if you can find a spot, or paying to park in their small garage. Also, there are not enough electrical outlets in the room. You can plug in the mini fridge or the TV, but not both at the same time. On the whole, the positives outweighed the negatives by a lot and it's the staff who are the best thing about Pelican Beach.

One thing to be aware of is that they charge hotel guests for the beach chairs which were 20€ each per day. The ‘gym’ is also outdoors, no air con and the equipment is in bad need of repair. There was one working treadmill, there was a set of 5kg dumbbells and I think a 1-3kg but really poor gym. Staff are super nice, rooms very clean, and the beach is beautiful. You do need a car to get around! And beware, very little on street free parking as the locals park at 7am for the beach! To park in the hotel underground carpark they charge hotel guests 15€ a day (I think this is what we paid) during July.

Nice resort but our party of 4 were not treated very well when we arrived at the hotel restaurant without a reservation. Put in the corner of another room and ignored for most of the evening. Food was expensive and not very good. Would recommend walking down the street to eat elsewhere. Good walkable location for accessing the beach though.
